‘Rocket League’ is getting a BMW in time for the RLCS European circuit

Want a cheap luxury BMW? Rocket League has got you, fam.

Psyonix is partnering with BMW for the upcoming Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) European circuit. Oh, and the BMW M240i will be available via the in-game item shop on Nov. 4! 

For only $9.99 USD credits in Rocket League, you’ll be able to pick up the BMW M240i. This offer runs from Nov. 4 through Nov. 10 for anyone eager to say they picked up a brand new BMW for less than lunch costs on any given day. It also comes with neat add-ons like the Thundernight Metallic and United In Rivalry Decals, as well as a BMW Player Banners and the Bavarian Hat Topper.

Take a gander at what the BMW M240i looks like in Rocket League  for yourself below.

To celebrate the M240i’s arrival, Rocket League is hosting the BMW Freestyle Tournament on Nov. 4 at 10 A.M. PDT (5 P.M. UTC). In this invite-only event, 16 of the best players compete in a single-elimination bracket with a prize pool of over $25,000 USD. That’ll happen over on Rocket League’s  Twitch channel here. 

Psyonix also recently hosted the Haunted Hallows Cup as part of the current RLCS season. So Rocket League  esports sure is taking off lately!

‘Rocket League’ esports gets spooky with the Haunted Hallows Cup

Spooky Rocket League esports!!

Not even the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) is safe during this spooktacular season — at least if the Haunted Hallows Cup is any indication, anyway. 

Set to begin on Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. PDT, the Haunted Hallows Cup will be the second North American Fall Split Regional Event for the current RLCS season. Rocket League’s  best North American players will clash-bumpers while the broadcasting team participates in a Twitch-voted costume contest. Viewers get to choose which host they believe is rocking the best spooky threads and can share costumes of their own on social media for a chance to be featured during the Haunted Hallows Cup broadcast.

For a quick recap of the RLCS competitions going on lately, check out the video below.

If you happen to be watching the Haunted Hallows Cup for 30 minutes or more, you’ll likely earn the Joker Avatar Border. Batman stuff is Halloween adjacent enough, I guess?

Again, the Haunted Hallows Cup goes down tomorrow morning over here on Twitch. Props to developer Psyonix for hosting a Halloween-themed esports event!

Ranking the 10 most unrealistic sports games ever

These games really push the boundaries of what’s possible in sports.

Most sports video games pride themselves on being as close to reality as possible. But why limit yourself to reality when imagination is what has been pushing the gaming industry forward for so long? Exactly, you have no answer. With that in mind, here’s a list of the top ten most unrealistic sports games ever.

Sports games usually try their best to emulate reality, but simulating reality is boring. Nobody wants to remember what it’s like to get a football kicked into their face in school. No one wants to have to manage their stamina levels. We want action, and we want it now. Fill our lungs in perpetuity.

Let’s explore this together and break the boundary between fantasy and reality, tearing open the very fabric of our universe. Well, we’ll just list ten of the best games, but you know what we mean. Anyway, let’s take a look.

7 best Nintendo Switch sports video games to play right now

Sports games really show you why the Switch is the most versatile console out there.

Given the pick-up and play portability of the Nintendo Switch, it makes sense that there are already several brilliant sports games to play on the device. It’s just too easy to snap out those Joy-Cons and get into a game quickly, even if you’re chilling with a group of friends in the great outdoors. This lends itself naturally to sports games that multiple players can enjoy in small bursts.

But the beauty of Nintendo’s pocket powerhouse is that it’s just as easy to slip into a dock at home and get the whole family involved in some motion-controlled sporting action. Even if you’re a solo player, you could hunker down with a management sim for a few hours before bed to get your sporting fix. The console’s versatility is its superpower, but you may be wondering which sports games you should buy to take advantage of its features.

In this article, we’re going to run through some of our favorite Nintendo Switch sports games, with a focus on providing a variety of titles that are fun for the whole family.
