About
Rocket Racing was a 2023 racing video game developed by Psyonix and published by Epic Games. It was a spin-off title to the 2015 game Rocket League and was a part of Fortnite as a whole. In the game, up to twelve players competed on a racetrack, with the goal being to be the first person to complete the race. Players could increase their "boost meter", which allowed them to gain a speed advantage against opponents, as well as jump over obstacles and drive on walls or ceilings.
The game was released on 8 December 2023 and could be accessed via the Fortnite launcher. Rocket Racing received positive reviews from critics, with praise directed towards its track design and gameplay, though some critics felt the game lacked content. The game was shut down on October 1, 2026 due to low player engagement.

Gameplay
Rocket Racing was a multiplayer racing game that was accessible via the Fortnite launcher. Up to twelve players competed on a racetrack, with the goal being to complete the race before anyone else while avoiding obstacles. Players could jump over some obstacles, or drive on the walls or ceilings of tunnels. If the player drifts at turns, their "boost meter" will increase, which will allow them to activate a temporary speed boost against other players.
Unlike some other racing games, Rocket Racing featured no unique items or weapons that the player could be used against others to gain an advantage. Each track in the game was graded based on its difficulty, with the difficulties being Novice, Advanced, and Expert.
