The game was first announced in June 2016 as part of E3 2016.[6] The game is being developed by High Horse Entertainment, a studio formed by two ex-Activision employees who had previously worked on developing entries in the Tony Hawk, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero series of video games.[7] The game received a limited beta release on February 17, 2017.[5] On March 1, 2017, the game was announced by Sony as one of the monthly free PS Plus games for March 2017, being made available on March 7, making its release date and PS Plus availability the same date.[8][9]

Pre-release[edit]
The game's beta release was generally well received.[7] Sammy Barker of Push Square felt that the game had the potential to be the next Rocket League in a review of the beta version, due to its smooth online gameplay and high level of player customization, though he conceded it would need more improvement with its control and presentation before it would be ready for mainstream audiences.[11] Many other journalists favorably compared the game to Rocket League as well, noting how both titles aimed to add a sci-fi twist with emphasis on online multiplayer, to a traditional sport.[12][13][14]
Post-release[edit]
Disc Jam received average reviews, with a score of 71/100 on Metacritic.[10]
