NEW CONTENT, CHANGES & UPDATES

Playlist Population NumbersGood news, everyone! A really great feature has made its return, and it’s an amazing day to check the queues.Playlist Population is once again visible in the Play Menu.

  • View total Rocket League player population.

  • See playlist-specific population when you’re hovering on a mode.

Now you’ll know exactly how packed the pitch is before you queue up.Flip Reset IndicatorWe’ve introduced a new audio and visual cue to signal when a player has achieved a flip reset, which is when the player has regained their dodge by touching the ball with three or more wheels.

  • The visual effect is designed as a quick burst to reinforce the moment of reset without disrupting gameplay clarity.

  • The flip reset indicator is only visible/audible to the player performing the flip reset or for spectators, but appears for all players during replays, when the option is enabled.

  • You can disable the flip reset indicator in the settings.

    • Disabling the flip reset indicator also turns off the effect while you spectate.

Visible Matchmaking Rating (MMR)Players now have the option to choose to display their MMR in Competitive Playlists. Enable this option in the settings to:

  • Show your MMR on Competitive Playlist tiles.

  • Display MMR on the scoreboard at the end of Ranked Matches.

This setting does not affect Casual Playlists.Boost Timer VisualizationLarge boost pads now display a visual recharge indicator so you can play more strategically.

  • Large boost pads take 10 seconds to respawn, with the visual indicator gradually refilling over those 10 seconds until the pad is fully recharged.

Override Boost Audio OptionPlayers can now set the default, Standard Boost sound to any Boost they have equipped.

  • The Override Boost Audio check box can be found in the Audio tab in the settings.

  • Only affects your in-match audio, not replays or menus. Other players will still hear the sound associated with the equipped Boost.

Nintendo Switch DLC UpdateIf you bought Rocket League DLC on Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll now have it on other platforms that the DLC is available on. Just make sure your platform accounts are connected to your Epic account.New Quick ChatsWe’ve added several new Quick Chats to give players more ways to communicate in-game.

  • Informational

    • “One more”

    • “Back Post”

    • “Leaving”

    • “Oops, wrong quickchat!”

  • Reactions

    • “Unlucky”

    • “This isn’t Rocket League”

    • “Oof”

    • “…”

    • “Be careful!”

    • “Let’s lock in”

    • “Brutal!” has replaced “Savage!”

  • Apologies

    • “All good!”

Jump in and let your teammates (and opponents 👀) know exactly what you’re thinking.Custom Training Settings UpdateIn Custom Training, new adjustable randomization options create more dynamic scenarios, helping players refine mechanics and build adaptability in unpredictable situations.These options can be found by opening Custom Training, playing a custom training pack, then opening the settings.

  • New settings:

  • Ball Speed Modifier (0%–100%, Default: 0%)

    • Applies random variance to the ball’s initial speed. 

    • For example, at 50%, the ball’s speed can randomly increase by up to 50% or decrease by up to 50%.

  • Ball Location Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)

    • Randomizes the ball’s spawn location within a radial distance from its original position.

  • Ball Height Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)

    • Applies a random vertical offset to the ball’s spawn position.

    • Ball may spawn higher or lower within the defined range.

  • Vehicle Location Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)

    • Randomizes the vehicle’s spawn location within a radial distance from its original position.

  • Vehicle Rotation Modifier (0°–100°, Default: 0°)

    • Applies a random rotation variance to the vehicle’s starting orientation.

      • For example, if you choose 30°, the vehicle’s forward direction will vary between -30° and +30° from the original setup.

  • •Other new training settings:

    • Spawn Vehicle on Ground (Default: On)

      • When enabled, the vehicle spawns grounded.

      • When disabled, the vehicle spawns using legacy Custom Training behavior (a little bit above the ground).

    • Skip Goal Replay

      • When enabled, goal replays are skipped during Custom Training.

    • Round Start Input Delay (0–0.1 seconds, Default: 0)

      • Changes how immediate a round begins after detecting player input

      • 0 seconds allows for faster, more immediate control at the start of each round.

      • 0.1 seconds is the legacy Custom Training behavior.

Queue Menu ChangesThe menu displayed while searching for a match has been updated to better support players who want to stay in gameplay-focused activities while queued.

  • “Freeplay” and “Challenges” now replace “Item Shop” and “Garage” in the Queue Menu. “Training” remains unchanged.

  • “Freeplay”

    • Instantly loads Freeplay on your last selected map, no confirmation required.

  • “Challenges”

    • Opens directly to the first tab of the Challenges menu, serving as a quick-access shortcut while queued.

      • “Claim” notifications won’t be displayed.

BUG FIXES

Gameplay

  • Removed an unintended piece of wall graffiti in The Block (Hoops) that obscured visibility of the net. 

  • Fixed an issue where the cage on Beckwith Park Arena’s variants could obstruct the player’s view. 

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent Custom Tournaments from being created. 

  • Fixed an issue where the in-match notification feed displayed duplicate messages during a demolition. 

  • On Nintendo Switch, fixed an issue where the Play Again button would occasionally not appear in the Post-Match Menu after a Competitive match.

  • Fixed an issue where the Magnifique Car Body Trim color would override selected paint colors and finishes. 

  • Fixed an issue where applying certain Decals caused the rear panel of the McLaren P1 to appear white. 

  • Fixed an issue where the Deep Space Trail did not consistently appear during goal replays. 

  • Fixed an issue where the Gravity Bomb Goal Explosion would demolish cars.
