On this page, you will find all there is to know about the various updates for Rocket League on Nintendo Switch (originally released on the Nintendo eShop on November 14th 2017 in Japan, Europe, and North America).
As a reminder, universal Decals can be equipped on any Car Body except certain ones based on third-party IP.
Converting Esports Tokens to Credits
Esports Tokens have been removed with v2.51. Any player with remaining Esports Token balances will have their remaining Tokens converted to Credits, which will be boosted 10% and rounded up to the nearest 50.
Please note that the conversion rate of Esports Tokens to Credits varies by country. For example, in the United States, 1 Esports Token is worth 0.9881 Credits. So if a player in the United States has 1200 Esports Tokens, they’ll have 1350 Credits with the boost and rounding taken into account.
Center of Mass Readjustments
There were unintended side effects from the center of mass adjustments made in v2.46 to some Car Bodies using shifted hitboxes. We’ve been returning the hitboxes on impacted Car Bodies to their base by repositioning the visual mesh on these cars. We’ve returned the hitboxes to the remaining impacted Car Bodies:
Ace (Breakout Hitbox)
Primo (Hybrid Hitbox)
Fast and Furious Mazda-RX7 (Breakout Hitbox)
1966 Cadillac DeVille (Breakout Hitbox)
The Incredibile (Breakout Hitbox)

THE HEADLINES
Changes to the Demolition Camera and Audio.
We’ll post additional Patch Notes when Season 16 begins on 9/4/2024 at 8 a.m. PDT / 3 p.m. UTC.
CHANGES AND UPDATES
Demolition Camera Changes
After a demolition, the camera now flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.
The camera shows your respawn position before your car respawns, giving you a chance to see what’s happening around you before rejoining the match.
During this window, you can move the camera around to view your surroundings.
Demo Transition Time: Under Settings -> Camera, a new Demo Transition Time setting lets you adjust how fast the camera flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.
Default setting is 0.75 seconds.
You can adjust this setting from 0.00 (a snap transition) to 1.00 seconds.
A shorter transition time places the camera on your respawn point for longer.
A longer transition time gives you a better view of the field before spawning in.
Adjusting the slider does not affect how long the demolished state lasts, only when the camera moves.
Demolition Audio
Raised the volume of the “ping” noise when a teammate is demolished.
Learn more about the demolition audio change we made in v2.40 here.
Volume for this audio cue is still tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio

Changes to Item Shop Bundles
Additional patch notes will be posted when Season 15 begins on June 5 at 8 a.m. PDT / 3 p.m. UTC
CHANGES AND UPDATES
Changes to Demolition Audio
To help players separate when an opponent is demolished and when a teammate goes BOOM! during fast-paced matches, we’ve added an audible ping to the explosion audio when opponents demolish one of your teammates.
Volume for this new audio cue is tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio.
Audio when you or a teammate demolishes an opponent is unchanged.
Timestamps in Chat
We’ve added timestamps to Text Chat and Quick Chats across all online and offline matches and modes.
Timestamps will mirror the in-game timer according to the match type.
For example, timestamps in Soccar will have descending time, while Knockout quick chats will have ascending time.
Overtime will also display ascending time.
Limited Time Modes in Private Matches
Based on player requests and feedback, we’ve added these Limited Time Modes as options in Private Matches, Offline Matches, and Custom Tournaments:
Beach Ball

Eggstra Special Mode
G-Force Frenzy
Gridiron (Can only be played on Champions Field (NFL))

Mutator settings are now sorted into three categories: Match, Game, and Ball.

Changes to Item Shop Bundles
We’re making changes to how we sell bundles in the Item Shop.
If you own items in a bundle that’s currently in the Item Shop, you can now buy the bundle minus the cost of the customization item(s) that you already have in your inventory.
If the bundle you’re purchasing is being sold at a discounted price, and you already own one or more items in the bundle, the full price of the owned items will be deducted until the minimum price for the bundle is met.
If you’ve already purchased all items in a bundle, all items will show as “owned” and the purchase button will be disabled.
All of the above applies to bundles sold for in-game Credits, and not to bundles sold for real-world currency.

CHANGES AND UPDATES
Boost Nameplate Indicators
Boost Nameplate Indicators are a new feature on Player Nameplates to keep you informed of your teammate’s Boost levels.
A new circular boost meter will be visible to the left of your teammate’s name.
If you’re using Simplified Nameplates, the circle appears above your teammate’s triangle indicator.
The circle will appear full when your teammate’s Boost is at 100, empty at 0, and updates in real-time as your teammate goes through Boost or picks Boost up.
Boost information is only available for teammates, so you’ll never know how much Boost your opponents have.
Boost information for all players is visible during goal replays, when you are spectating a live match, and when you are watching a saved replay.
Boost Nameplate Indicators are active in all game modes.

THE HEADLINES
Quality of Life Updates
New Minimum Level for Competitive Playlist
Disabling “Leave Tournament” button at end of match
v2.35 prepares Rocket League for the Mandalorian Mayhem Limited Time Event
2024 Esports Shop Refresh
CHANGES AND UPDATES
New Minimum Level for Competitive Playlist
To ensure that players are spending a reasonable amount of time acclimating to Rocket League before jumping into the ranked experience, we changed the minimum level requirement for the Competitive Playlist to Level 20 (up from the previous level requirement of 10).
In addition, we have changed the design that previously allowed players to play ranked if they were partied with an individual above the minimum level requirement. Now, no player below the level threshold (20) will be able to enter the ranked experience.
Party leaders with a member below the level threshold will see their playlist locked and will need to queue in the Casual Playlist.
Updated Minimum Level Messaging –To convey these new restrictions, players will see new messaging in Rocket League when queuing for the Competitive Playlist.
While solo (not in a party) the new messaging will read: “You must be Level 20 or higher.”
While in a party, the new messaging will read: “All party members must be Level 20 or higher.”
These messages will be displayed to any player who is below Level 20 / any party leader in a party with someone who is below Level 20.
Disabling “Leave Tournament” Button at End of Match
In order to prevent players from receiving negative consequences, such as temporary bans from tournaments/matchmaking, or losing earned tournament rewards, we will now grey out/disable the “Leave Tournament” button at the 0:00 gameplay mark of Tournament matches.
This will ensure your rewards are earned and all data is properly populated so you can jump right into your next match.

Release date: September 14th 2021 (North America) / September 15th 2021 (Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:
CHANGES AND UPDATES
Voice Chat
We are temporarily removing voice chat with v2.04. As many of our players know, the current voice chat system is not up to modern standards, making it difficult to use in a fast-paced game environment. We’re also aware that some players experience performance issues when using in-game voice chat — some sort of mid-match lag or service disruption — and we do not want voice chat to hinder quality of play.
Earlier this summer, we said that we are working on bringing an improved, more comprehensive voice chat system to Rocket League. We are on track to bring voice chat back to the game in early 2022. We’ll share more details once we’re closer to voice chat making a siiick comeback next year.
Release date: August 10th 2021 (North America) / August 11th 2021 (Europe, Japan)
Patch notes:
CHANGES AND UPDATES
Streamer Safe Music
Streamer Safe music allows you to play Rocket League’s included music tracks without worrying about DMCA violations while streaming or recording
‘Streamer Safe Music’ can be found under Settings > Audio
Once enabled, Rocket League will remove or replace any tracks that may lead to a DMCA violation
The Streamer Safe setting works in conjunction with your chosen settings for Player Anthems, playing the soundtrack in-game, and playing the soundtrack during matches
Matchmaking Penalties in Casual Playlists
To improve the average match quality in Casual playlists, we are introducing penalties for players who quit Casual games early.
Similar to the matchmaking bans for Competitive Playlists, players who leave Casual Playlist matches early may be subject to a short matchmaking ban. Leaving a single match per day won’t result in a penalty, but repeatedly quitting escalates the length of the ban.
There are seven ban levels for Casual Playlists:
First – 0 Minutes
Second – 5 Minutes
Third – 10 Minutes
Fourth – 20 Minutes
Fifth – 40 Minutes
Sixth – 1 hour
Seventh or more – 2 hours
Once you progress beyond the first level, there is a 12-hour cooldown before the ban level de-escalates by one level.
You can now “Vote to Concede” a Casual Match once enough time has passed, similar to Competitive play if your team wants to leave or simply proceed to the next match.
We’ve made the following changes to backfill behavior
If a player leaves a Casual match, they will not be backfilled into the same match
Casual matches with a score difference of three goals or more will not be backfilled. Bots will replace any players who leave the match.
Undersized Party Rank Restrictions
To help preserve balanced competitive play, parties of two playing in 3v3 Standard in Competitive or 3v3 Tournaments must be within 3 Ranks of each other
Examples of allowed undersized parties
Gold 3 + Platinum 3 (three ranks apart)
Diamond 2 + Champion 1 (two ranks apart)
Examples of disallowed undersized parties
Gold 3 + Diamond 1 (four ranks apart)
Silver 2 + Grand Champion 2 (fifteen ranks apart)
This change does not apply to Extra Modes Playlists or Casual Playlists
This change starts with Season 4
Player to Player Trading Updates
Once both players have entered items and accepted terms, a new trade review screen will appear
This screen will display all items involved in the trade
All item details are visible at all times on this screen (Painted color, Certification, Special Edition type, Esports affiliation)
No new items can be added once this screen appears
There is a five-second countdown before the Accept Trade button can be used
You can cancel out of the Trade Review screen if you want to go back and add/remove items
Game Ban Messaging
New messaging will inform you if your account is close to a permanent ban
Similar to current ban messaging, and Report Feedback, this message will appear as a pop-up once Rocket League is started
“Due to the number of bans issued on this account, the next ban from Psyonix may be permanent. Please do not use harassing or toxic language in future matches. For more information, please go to support.rocketleague.com”
Previous chat and game bans on your account are taken into consideration before this message is delivered
Player Count Display
The way player population is displayed in-game is changing
Total players online is no longer displayed
Playlist population display has been changed. Based on a playlist’s population, players will see one of the following

CHANGES AND UPDATES
Trade In Update
Trade Ins are now managed in their own section in the Garage
All Trade In-eligible items fall into three categories:
Core Series Items
Tournament Items
Blueprints
The Trade In menu displays how many eligible Trade Ins you have, sorted by category and rarity
Trade Ins still operate the same way as before:
5 Uncommon = 1 Rare
5 Rare Items = 1 Very Rare
5 Very Rare = 1 Import
5 Imports = 1 Exotic
5 Exotics = 1 Black Market
Tournament Items and (revealed) Blueprints can now be traded in regardless of series. The Tournament Item or Blueprint you receive from a Trade In is directly tied to the series of the items you traded in.
For example, if you trade in three Ignition Series Blueprints and two Ferocity Series Blueprints, you’ll have a 60% chance to receive an Ignition Series Blueprint and a 40% chance to receive an Ferocity Series Blueprint.
Player Trading Eligibility
Before trading with other accounts is activated, new accounts must:

THE HEADLINES
Epic Games Account Linking and Cross-Platform Progression are now available
Nintendo Switch Online is no longer required to play Rocket League online
Check out all of the Menu and UI changes!
Added a new Vehicle Preset based on the Merc car
EPIC GAMES ACCOUNT AND CROSS-PLATFORM PROGRESSION
Progression and Account Linking
You can now link each platform you play Rocket League to a single Epic Games Account to share progression, inventory, Rocket Pass progress, Competitive Rank, and more everywhere you play
For progression data, you will select a Primary Platform to progress everywhere. If you’re Level 1000 and Champion II on PC, and Level 500 and Diamond III on your console, you’ll want to pick your PC profile as your Primary
We strongly recommend you link every account you play at the same time so you can make an informed choice when selecting your Primary Platform
For more information, please read our blog post on Cross-Platform Progression
Players who linked their existing Rocket League platforms to an Epic Games Account will also receive the ‘Chopper EG’ Wheels
Epic Friends
Epic Friends have replaced RocketID as the solution for cross-platform friends in Rocket League
Your RocketID friends will be automatically converted into Epic Friends on your first login.
The In-Game Friends List has been updated to display both your platform friends and your Epic Friends in one panel for easier access
Legacy Status
If you played Rocket League before the free to play update was released, you have Legacy status
Legacy status includes special loyalty reward items, including a Boost, Wheel, Banner, and a special Title that commemorates the year your account was created:
‘Faded Cosmos’ Boost (limited to accounts created prior to July 21)
‘Golden Cosmos’ Boost
‘Dieci-Oro’ Wheel
‘Huntress’ Player Banner
‘Est. 20XX’ Title
Legacy status holders also get special “Legacy” quality versions of every Common item available before the free to play changeover, as well as access to all non-licensed DLC items
Player-to-Player Trading
Trading with another player now requires a linked Epic Games Account
Trading with another player now requires both accounts to have purchased 500 Credits or equivalent (Esports Tokens, Starter Pack, etc.) to deter fraud.
Players with Legacy status are exempt from this requirement
NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE
Players new to Rocket League with this update will see a new interactive intro cinematic, as well as special guidance when navigating the in-game menus
New players will need to reach Level 10 before they can matchmake in Competitive Playlists
TOURNAMENTS
NOTE: The new Tournaments system will be live with this release, but only a limited number of test Tournaments will be scheduled until we transition Rocket League to free to play.
The Tournaments system has been redesigned and now offers automated Competitive Tournaments at set times per day, per region
While you can still sign up with a full party, Competitive Tournament matchmaking will attempt to find you a team if you can’t join with a full group
Mixed-Rank parties will be placed in a Tournament based on the Rank of the highest-skill player
Playing at your skill – even if you lose! – is always more efficient than winning at a lower Rank
Teams knocked out of the tournament in the first round may be able to re-join during a ‘late joiner’ round
Leaving a Tournament early may lead to temporary matchmaking and Tournament bans on your account
If your entire team forfeits, no bans will be issued
Earn rewards over the course of each season by defeating opponents of similar skill
You’ll earn Tournament Credits based on your final placement in each Tournament combined with the difficulty of the overall bracket you were seeded into
The Tournament Credit reward is the same for all teammates
Tournament Credits can be redeemed to get Cups that will grant you a customization item of escalating quality
All Tournament items can have special attributes like Painted or Certified
These prizes can be traded in within their series, all the way up to Black Market
The higher level the Cup, the more often you’ll unlock an item of higher rarity
You can play in as many tournaments as you want each week, but most of your earnings will come from your Top 3 Weekly Placements, which reset at the end of each week on Sunday
Winning a Tournament earns you a Title that shows off the Rank of the Tournament you won.
Winning three similarly ranked tournaments throughout a season will grant you a colored Title at that Rank.
Players are still able to create and host their own Custom Tournaments
Knocked out of the Tournament you’re hosting? You’ll be able to spectate the remaining matches
MENU AND UI UPDATES
The Main Menu has been streamlined to reduce the number of buttons and better organize features
Play Submenu: Modes are now grouped into cards instead of tabs
Selecting a Playlist will now immediately search that playlist
For players who prefer to search multiple playlists at once, you can enable “Multiple Selection” within any of the Playlist groups. This setting is saved so you won’t have to toggle it each time you search.
You can now quickly jump into Free Play or the Garage after searching
Training is now accessible directly from the Play menu
Exhibition, Season Mode, and Private Match have been combined into the “Custom Games” card
The Profile Submenu now contains:
Career (Stats, Leaderboards, Rankings)
Replays
Create or Manage Club
Banner and Avatar Border customization options
The Extras Submenu is now found under Options – Extras
The appearance of the Main Menu and some submenus have been updated with new font and button/card designs
CHANGES AND UPDATES
Item Changes
Many items formerly classified as Common are now Uncommon or higher, and must be obtained via Drops by new players
Common Items are no longer unlocked in large batches per slot by playing matches. Any player with Legacy status that had not unlocked all of these items will receive remaining items in “Legacy” quality
Uncommon, Rare, and Very Rare Items no longer drop randomly after matches
Some cross-promotional items have been permanently marked as “Legacy” and can no longer be obtained by new accounts
Some older ‘V1’ Engine Audio options can no longer be obtained by new accounts
Support a Creator
You can now support your favorite content creators by applying a Creator Code to your account in the Item Shop screen
Your chosen creator will receive a percentage of your Credits spent while the code is active on your account
Default Settings Changes
Control Bindings are now organized into three presets – “Default”, “Legacy”, and “Custom”
“Legacy” is used for all existing accounts, and uses the same controls since our 2015 Launch
“Default” assigns “Air Roll” to L2/LT by default, and unbinds “Voice Chat”
You can switch to “Default” or “Legacy” without losing your “Custom” bindings
Voice Chat is now disabled by default
New Hitbox
Added a new Vehicle Preset based on the Merc car
This hitbox is both taller and narrower than the other hitboxes. Check it out and let us know what you think!
New Quick Chats
Informational Quick Chats

Keyboard Aerial Safety
The new “Keyboard Aerial Safety” setting prevents keyboard and mouse players from pitching down in the air while holding Throttle (W) until other inputs are recognized
With this setting active, your car will not begin pitching down until you either pitch up, release the throttle/pitch down key, or air roll in any direction
This setting can be disabled in the Options – Controls tab

[PC] DirectX9 is no longer supported
The Level 700 ‘Supersonic Legend’ Title has been changed to ‘Legendary Nemesis’

CHANGES AND UPDATES
Demolitions and Bumping
Based on player feedback, we are making some improvements to Bump and Demolition detection. It is important to note that even with these fixes, Bumps and Demos will never be perfect in online play due to latency. However, after testing these changes with a variety of prominent community members & esports players, we feel this is a positive change that will reduce inconsistencies.
The rules to trigger a Demolition are now as follows:
Supersonic Check [UNCHANGED]
You are in the Supersonic State (trails visible/active on wheels)
Supersonic State activates at 2200 speed (max speed is 2300)
Going below 2100 speed instantly exits the Supersonic State
Going below 2200 speed, but above 2100, remains Supersonic for one second before exiting unless you accelerate back above 2200
Speed Check [UNCHANGED]
Your speed in your forward direction is at least 2100 at the time of impact
Forward Hit Check [NEW]
The line connecting your Center of Mass to the Impact Location is within 40 degrees of your forward direction
Victim Hit Check [NEW]
The line connecting the Impact Location to the Victim’s Center of Mass is within [55-90] degrees of your forward direction
This angle scales based on the Forward Hit Check result
For all impacts within 35 degrees of your forward direction, this check uses a 90 degree angle
For impacts between 35 and 40 degrees of your forward direction, this check scales linearly from 90 degrees down to 55. This reduces “sideswipe” demos and other undesirable use cases
Bumps use the same set of requirements minus the speed / supersonic checks.

This setting controls which method the game uses to send your gameplay inputs to our servers. These methods are:
Legacy – The default option used since Rocket League launched.
STS (Sim Time Scaling) – This allows the game server to instruct your client to very subtly speed up or slow down in order to maintain a smooth input stream.
CSTS (Continuous Sim Time Scaling) – A more aggressive version of STS that uses a continuous feedback loop to determine game speed.
Both STS and CSTS are newer strategies for latency mitigation that may be more effective for players with connectivity issues, spotty Wi-Fi, etc. than the Legacy method
If you experience connectivity issues during a match, you should try switching from Legacy to STS or CSTS. If you see no improvement, change back to Legacy
