It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was teaming up with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole destination where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The long-running series is also making its way to Rocket League, introducing an in-game car skin that will also be usable in Fortnite. However, if gamers will actually want to equip it is a different matter, as there's only one Springfield vehicle everyone is itching to get behind the wheel of, and this isn't it.

What Fans Really Want

Although most players would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed car the patriarch designed himself in the classic episode "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. Not even getting the massive SUV, the heavy-duty vehicle showcased in the tenth season. Instead, players will obtain the Simpsons' standard beat-up sedan, which has been in the family since 1989. Even though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. And for players who pay attention to the game's vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.
