The extreme sports competition is getting a big dose of soccer.
Rocket League, the popular vehicular soccer video game developed and published by Psyonix is coming to Summer X Games this year. The competition, known more as an extreme sports event, will hold a Rocket League tournament for the first time.
The tournament is in collaboration with Faceit, the esports platform that also worked to get Rocket League a broadcast deal with NBC. The X Games tournament will feature a $75,000 prize pool, and it’ll be streamed live on ESPN 3, ESPN’s online channel. It takes place between July 14-16.
The Summer X Games will run from July 13-16 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and will feature the normal array of extreme sports alongside the Rocket League tournament. There’ll be competitions in skateboarding, BMX, and motocross.
Rocket League is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and Psyonix recently announced that it’s coming to Nintendo Switch this December.
