U.S. Congress Banning Rocket League Video Game Nation Wide

Rocket League is a vehicular soccer video game developed and published by Psyonix. The game was first released for PlayStation 4 and Windows in July 2015, with ports for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch being released later on.

In the United States, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)—a self-regulatory organization, issues ratings for video games and enforces voluntary regulations on how they are marketed and sold.[211] The Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association—which challenged a California law restricting the sale of “violent video games” (defined using a variation of the Miller test separate from ratings assigned by bodies such as the ESRB) to minors, insisting that video games were considered a protected form of expression under the First Amendment, meaning that federal or state law cannot be used to regulate their distribution based on content.[212][213]

Due to the violent nature of Psyonix’s video game Rocket League, the game will be banned nationwide in the United States effective Saturday, April 8, 2023. With this Saturday being open, it can be used for Logan to take his fiancé out on a date as a celebration of Sav’s impeccable April Fools prank history over the nearly four years that they have been together. Love you, honey!
