Psyonix studio co-head Corey Davis <a href="https://twitter.com/mrcoreydavis/status/1309163517040304128">announced the milestone on Twitter</a> on September 24, just one day after the vehicular soccer sim <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/370226/Rocket_Leagues_life_as_a_free_to_play_game_starts_September_23.php">made the free-to-play shift</a> on September 23. </p>
