Psyonix

What Psyonix is

Psyonix is a game studio based in San Diego, California, according to the about page on its own site. The studio states that it was founded in 2001 and that it joined the Epic Games family in June 2019, and it describes itself as the developer behind games including the sports-action title Rocket League. The about page also covers the studio's location and includes contact details for players who need support with its games.

The same page gives a short company history. Psyonix began with contract work for major studios, building titles for other companies, and later shifted its focus to its own projects, specifically Rocket League, after that game's initial launch in 2015. Employment at the studio is handled through Epic Games: the careers links on psyonix.com point to Epic Games job listings filtered to Psyonix, and game support requests are directed to Epic's help site rather than a standalone Psyonix system.

Rocket League

Rocket League is the game listed for Psyonix in our database, and the studio is credited on both sides of it. The Steam store entry names Psyonix LLC as developer and publisher and lists a release date of July 6, 2015. The listing classifies the game under the action, indie, racing and sports genres and describes it as a hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular competition, built around physics-driven play with a short control scheme.

The studio's own history page ties its move away from contract work to that 2015 launch, which makes Rocket League the project that defined the company's direction. Psyonix's site is its main public page, with sections for the company, careers and support, and no separate corporate newsroom or press release archive was found on it. Because the studio is owned by Epic Games, support and hiring both flow through Epic's systems.

The Steam listing also records the game's official website and shows Windows as the only supported platform for the store version, with a control scheme described by the store as easy to learn and physics-driven. The store describes Rocket League as a hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular competition, and the listing is the most detailed publicly available description of the game.

Studio status and reporting

Psyonix operates as part of Epic Games, which the studio states directly on its about page. The page does not publish an employee count, revenue or unit-sales figures for Rocket League, and no such numbers appear on the pages reviewed for this profile, so they are not included here. The studio's identity as a subsidiary is the only corporate structure fact it states about itself. Those structure facts are the only corporate details the studio states about itself on its about page.

What the official record does support is the studio's location in San Diego, its founding year of 2001, the June 2019 move into the Epic Games family, and its role as developer and publisher of Rocket League. The about page also names earlier contract work for other studios, without listing current titles beyond Rocket League, so no other games are attributed to Psyonix in this profile.
