'Rocket League' Xbox One version to release Feb. 17

Xbox One players will finally be able to get their hands on "Rocket League" starting Feb. 17.

Word that "Rocket League" would be coming to the Xbox One was first announced by developer Psyonix at The Game Awards back in December.

Prior to the announcement of the game's Feb. 17 release date, the only thing known about "Rocket League's" Xbox One debut was that it would be taking place sometime in February, but now, fans have an actual date to look forward to.

The launch day iteration of "Rocket League" for the Xbox One will be different from the day one versions of the game that were launched for personal computer (PC) and the PlayStation 4 (PS4).

One major difference is that the Xbox One port of "Rocket League" will feature more content right from its first day of availability. 

The contents of the "Chaos Run," "Revenge of the Battle-Cars" and "Supersonic Fury" DLC packs will all be bundled together with the day one version of Xbox One's "Rocket League," according to a post on Xbox Wire by Psyonix President Jeremy Dunham.

Xbox One owners will also gain access to two console-exclusive vehicles. The two vehicles will be the Armadillo from the "Gears of War" franchise and the "HogSticker," an automobile inspired by "Halo's" Warthog.

One feature that may not be included in the Xbox One version of "Rocket League" is crossplay.

Back in December, a fan posed a question to the game's official Twitter account, asking if the Xbox One port of "Rocket League" would allow for PS4 and PC crossplay.

In response, the game's official account said, "Xbox platform doesn't allow for crossplay matchmaking between other systems as a general practice across all titles."

As GameSpot pointed out, some Xbox titles do offer crossplay. The website even cited "Shadowrun" and "IDARB" as examples of Xbox titles that provide support for crossplay.

It's unclear if crossplay will never come to the Xbox One port of "Rocket League" or if the feature may still be added later on.

The Xbox One version of "Rocket League" will be available for $19.99.
