Starting on April 23rd, Psyonix introduced its Battle of the Bulls event, where Rocket League players compete in one-on-one matchups with winners receiving $5,000 while losing get $1,000 for each match.
Psyonix also said that the deal includes in-game Rocket League activations. According to a release, the Huracán STO model car has now been integrated into the game and is be available for purchase in the Item Shop. Huracán STO’s engine audio, two sets of wheels, a decal, player banner, and antenna, as well as a Lamborghini Antenna, have been added to the store too.
The Profit‘s Take:
This is brilliant integration and a brilliant partnership. Even though much of the Rocket League demographic may be too young to drive or afford a Lamborghini, this is how you build customer loyalty and desire for life. Call it the gaming equivalent of having the Countach poster on your wall. Very smart.
