Epic Games have made no secret of the next release of Unreal Engine; they first shared some details about the follow-up back in 2024, namely that it's being built around the idea of "interoperable content" that can be switched between any game that uses the engine. Now, Unreal Engine 6 has been somewhat formally revealed through the lens of a "new era" of Rocket League during the game's Paris Majors semi-finals.

Epic has made Easy Anti-Cheat a requirement to play Rocket League online, hopefully bringing an end to the era of bots whizzing around in high rank matches and endlessly XP farming.

While looking through the countless LinkedIn posts of developers looking for work after Epic Games laid off over 1,000 staff this week, I noticed a disproportionate number worked for Psyonix. The Rocket League developer was acquired by Epic in 2019, and has continued to work on the hit car-football crossover, as well as various Fortnite implementations, since. However, a spokesperson assures PCGamesN that Rocket League is still at the forefront of Epic's mind.

What is Bracket Rivalry?

Pick your side and compete. Bracket Rivalry tips off with eight creator duos entering a single-elimination showdown, all chasing the same goal: win their matchup, advance to the next round, and prove they belong at the top.

Swing by the Shop to claim a free Player Title for the duo you’re backing. Once it’s equipped, every goal you score counts toward your team’s total, helping them climb through each stage of the tournament.

Follow the action as the bracket updates round by round and teams are knocked out on the path to the finals. Each new round resets the scoring, giving every advancing team a fresh shot to move on. It all leads to a LIVE showmatch between the final two teams at the Paris Major on May 24. Fan scoring will help determine which teams reach the finals, but it won’t play a role in the live showmatch.

NEW CONTENT, CHANGES & UPDATES
Playlist Population Numbers
Good 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 Indicator
We’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 Visualization
Large 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 Option
Players 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 Update
If 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 Chats
We’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 Update
In 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 Changes
The 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

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.
