Not only will Rocket League be playable on both PS5 and Xbox Series X, but we can expect to see some “special enhancements” added later this year. These so-called enhancements vary from system to system but, compared to current-gen platforms, at the very least we can all expect to see a boost in frame rate and faster loading times.
A new blog post by Max Parker, Editorial Manager at Psyonix, went over all the new content heading our way on launch day for both PS5 and Series X – along with planned updates throughout 2020. Here’s the full rundown:
Xbox Series X
At launch the game will run in 4K at 60fps with HDR. Later this year we’ll get an update that adds a new “Video Quality” setting that lets you set your preference for Quality or Performance.
- Quality: 4K resolution at 60fps with HDR Performance: 2688 x 1512 resolution at 120fps with HDR
Xbox Series S
At launch the game will run at 1080p at 60fps with HDR. Just like Series X, a later update will add a “Video Quality” option where you can select either Quality or Performance.
- Quality: 1080p at 60fps with HDR Performance: 1344 x 756 resolution at 120fps with HDR
PlayStation 5
At launch the game will run in 4K (checkerboard) at 60fps with HDR. As of now there are no plans for a “Video Quality” option on PS5.
Jumping to next-gen consoles is made easy in Rocket League, as all your Rocket Pass progress and inventory items will transfer with you. Xbox Series X and PS5 will benefit from “significantly faster load times and improved splitscreen performance,” making them the optimal way to experience the soccer-racecar action.
Rocket League has been having an incredible 2020, and was one of the most downloaded games on PS4 in September. Last month it even held a crossover Halloween event with Ghostbusters, bringing spooky new ways to customize your ride.
Rocket League will be available on launch day for both Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
