⁠Platforms: Epic Games Store, Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo

⁠Scheduled Release: July 29, 2025, at 4 PM PT / 11 PM UTC

THE HEADLINES

• Private Match admin controls

• Crossbar ping audio adjustments

• Training Pack update

• Stability update

NEW CONTENT

Private Match Admin Controls

• Private match hosts will now have access to Match Admin functionality. This means they can pause the game, adjust the remaining time and score, and restart from kickoff when needed.
• If the host leaves, Match Admin functionality will now automatically transfer to the next player in the lobby based on join order.
• If the next player is playing in a party, admin controls will be given to the party leader instead.

CHANGES AND UPDATES

Crossbar Ping Audio Adjustments

• We’ve adjusted the crossbar ping sound effect: harder impacts now sound more natural and have slightly reduced volume.
  • Softer impact sounds remain unchanged.

Training Pack Update

• Each player will now see custom Training Pack recommendations based on their current rank.
  • Players will get pack recommendations weekly from our existing library of Training Packs to improve their game.
    • Because lists will be different for players of different ranks, players will see older dates on some packs as the recommendations will dig deep into the library.

Stability Update

• We're aware of a client crash issue introduced in v2.53 related to an audio bug affecting some players. While the issue has been identified, a full fix was not ready in time for this update.
  • As a temporary workaround, players can change their PC audio output to "Headphones" or "Speakers" and this should alleviate the issue for most.
    • We’ll roll out a full fix in a future game update.

BUG FIXES

Loud Powerslide Audio

• We fixed a loud audio bug that first appeared in v2.53 when powersliding. This issue was previously fixed on PC, but is now fixed across all platforms.

General

• Fixed an issue when using the Recommended server option in a Private Match could result in a "wrong region" error.

• Fixed occasional flickering on the Dominus Car Body when using the Hyper Color Decal at certain camera angles.

• Fixed an issue where the Tribalistic Decal would remove trim color when applied to painted Octane Car Bodies.

• Adjusted the Monstercat text on the Monstercat Decal to avoid text being cut off.

• Fixed an issue where certain Decals, including Federation, NFL, and Esports Decals, were not displaying correctly.

• Fixed an incorrect Club notification (“Club Role Changed: You are no longer a member of a Club”) when only the Club Title was updated.

Does anyone know if support for the modern XBox Gamertag is planned?

I see special characters for usernames from other platforms all the time, so RL itself seems to be able to handle special characters. But for some reason, XBox users get their legacy variant of the Gamertag in Rocket League.

First I just accepted the fact that a bug prevents you from blocking people, but I had enough of toxic teammates today, did some search and neither a regular search nor a reddit focused one brought relevant results. It's like nobody had this bug, but now I'm unable to mute/block people.

The block button is there, you can press it, it even gives a sound effect, but it doesn't turn into a 'blocked' button, and the chaser brats just happily spew their toxicity all game.

Did I miss something? Is it just me? Is there a maximum number of people you can block, or something?

UPDATE: After verifying integrity of local game cache files, it's still the same, so I thought I would contact Epic support. Their upload limit is 9.5MB, which is kinda funny in 2025, but okay, millions of reports (surely), let's just upload the footage to my YT channel and link it as a non-public video (it looks like pea soup already, and it's ~17MB).

Their reply was "Due to system limitations I'm unable to review your video here, but I'll kindly request you to share it in one of our socials mentioned: Here"

The link leads to their website where they offer the following 3 options to upload my video:

• Reddit (not touching it with a stick, lol)
• Discord (DISCORD. A feckin' voice+text chat program. For dealing with reports. From a multi billionaire company. I'm not touching it with a stick, lol)
• X (not touching it with a stick, or anything else in the Universe)

So here we are, they have to believe my word, and if I'm lucky they will pass down the issue to some intern. If I'm not, they will be just waiting until I actually upload it to one of the above 3 atrocious platforms, and then maybe start working on it.

UPDATE #2: I did a little experiment and un-blocked one player on my block list in the main menu. I could suddenly block one player in-game. When trying to block a second player, it was "buggy" again. So I assumed that there was a certain limit to the number of people you can block (which is typically a power of 2, most likely 256). I went and counted the amount of players on my list. I did it by hand, so it might be off, but I counted 581 people, which isn't just a little off of 512. But it seems like there is a built-in limit.

...which means it's not a bug, it's a feature. Something that was put in the game intentionally, has always been there, and they still haven't done anything about it in the past year (I have sent them 2 reports since), even though it isn't some mysterious phenomenon that needs investigating, but a known limit that they should actually know about. All the while I can't even attach 3 screenshot pngs with my report because it exceeds the 9.5MB limit (in 2025). Anyway, I had enough and compressed a video about it to 8.7MB.

And no, blocking 581 people isn't unrealistic unfortunately, considering I've been playing the game for the past 10 years, which means 1-2 blocked people per week. And if you'd been playing RL for more than 4 days then you know that there can be MUCH more toxic and spammy players than 1-2 a week.

While it’s available this season? Add me on Steam if you’re down! Friend code: 152969095 Or DM me here.

Could do voice comms on discord, or not.

This is my favorite game mode and I wish I had more consistent teammates who knew how to play it and enjoy it.

I’m competitive, but ultimately just like to have fun and meet people. Ive been playing since 2014. Peaked at C2.4 in DS the last time it was around but I’m consistently D3/C1 most of the time. Would like to see if I can touch that GC just once maybe!

KNOWN ISSUES

For a complete list of known issues in Rocket League, check out our Known Issues page

Is it possible to get rocket league to use the modern gamer tag from XBox? I'm getting the legacy variant of my gamer tag (the difference is an o instead of an ö in my name). I have seen special characters in Rocket League names so the game seems to support special characters so I don't understand why they use the legacy gamer tag from XBox.

Got my garage full of diffrent designs, and noticed a couple of my dominus' were lacking a decal. I'm terrible with names, but the jigsaw face, the black base with gold trim wolf, and an old tournament reward kinda like 20xx but I don't think that was it. Had 2 of the last one, one being painted. All gone though. Looked again throughout my invetory, cause maybe I just deselected it on the first car, but knew it was fishy when I noticed the second. Checked my archived items and nothing there

Kinda not cool

The Season 17 update could have gone smoother, especially for our players on Xbox 😅 While we work on restoring 120 fps support on Xbox, we’re granting the following to players on all platforms:

1️⃣ "Neo Combustion" Engine Audio
2️⃣ "S17 Launch Survivor" Player Title
3️⃣ 2 Exotic + 1 Black Market Drops

The game is regularly crashing and taking my whole PC down with it.

As much as I don't like to link the other site, it looks exactly like this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/1hdsc6z/i_did_a_save_so_good_that_it_broke_my_game/

Nvidia GTX 3080, Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake

In 2s and 3s, 1s I'm still gold 3 for unknown reasons. Guess I'm just not consistent enough yet. Sometimes I drop as low as silver 2 in 1s which I don't understand at all.. but I'm done being upset. It's such a fun game.

Nothing else really. I'm just very proud of my ability to adapt and improve beyond gold. Back when I initially bought the game in 2016, I used to rage at every loss and I'm sure my blood pressure was thru the roof. I'd forcibly uninstall the game at the end of every play session.. yeah, super unhealthy.

So I quit for a few years, came back in 2023 having been regularly meditating, and talking openly to those friends who would listen about my struggles, and I'd listen to theirs. I talked out so many rage issues and found that my anxiety and potential autism would cause me to release directionless rage at innocent bystanders.

I brought that to an end. I'm not sure how good I actually am, I still regularly dominate matches at plat 2 so who knows, the sky is the limit!

Final note, 1v1 is the only game mode where my rank drops massively. But I don't mind, they're slowly teaching me techniques as I get owned and I try to copy them. Thanks smurfs :)

I have a healthy relationship to my emotional state now, and this allows me to enjoy and improve in RL in a way I never thought possible.

I realize this post may be silly, but it makes me happy to share.

I love RL!!
