Rocket League has gone cross-platform following an announcement that promised as much last month.
The new Friends Update V1.58 has seen the feature emerge, with the game having become just the second PlayStation 4 cross-play title as part of the “PlayStation Cross-Play Beta Program.”
Season 10 kicked off on Tuesday and is offering more than just the luxury of matchmaking across different consoles. An auto-generated RocketID allows players to search for and add friends to parties and clubs, also letting them view a list of 25 recent players met online.
Below are notes from the update. The full list can be found on the game’s official website.
Fixed a bug preventing players from reconnecting to a match after a disconnection from the server
Fixed a bug causing spectator camera control UI to reappear after any goal is scored
Tournament creators no longer receive an error when trying to spectate matches
[Xbox One] The game app will no longer crash when returning from a suspended state when using Instant-on Mode
Fixed a bug causing trades involving 80 or more Keys to fail
Goal Explosions should no longer play on repeat after backing out of the Crate preview screen
Unrelated Customization Items will no longer appear under the ‘Body’ tab after rapidly opening and closing the Garage menu
Chat sound no longer plays when entering Training while in a Party
Items will appear correctly in the trade window after removing and re-adding to the trade
Keys obtained through Rocket Pass will now stack with other Keys in your inventory
[Switch] The UI will no longer lag when scrolling through a long list of friends
The Special Edition label now appears when a Special Edition item is unlocked in Rocket Pass
It has also been announced that all rewards from Season 9 will be dished out.
The cross-platform update was something the Rocket League community was crying out for and the developers, Psyonix, were actually ready to roll it out a year ago.
Sony’s intransigence over cross-play kept this from going live earlier but, thanks to the backlash from Fortnite players, they’ve since given in.
