Roller Champions Launches as Free-to-Play Roller Derby Game
Ubisoft Montreal's Roller Champions, a 3v3 competitive sports game, debuted on May 25, 2022, for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with a Nintendo Switch release following in June. The game combines speed and strategy as teams of three skate through gates to score points by shooting a ball into a hoop. Additional laps increase goal values, with matches capped at seven minutes or until a team reaches five points.
Cross-platform play and a progression system dubbed 'Roller Pass' unlock cosmetic upgrades. While praised for its accessible mechanics and dynamic pace, critics note limited modes and cosmetic variety may hinder long-term engagement.
