The makers of Rocket League have laid out their update plans for the following few months and past, with the primary huge addition being a beta take a look at of the brand new tournaments function beginning a while this month. The ‘bad’ information is that we have to wait longer for cross-platform multiplayer events, which can allow us to crew up with consoleers, however that’s like griping about ready for Christmas chocolate cash whereas the outlets are filled with Easter eggs. Did you understand Reese’s do chocolate eggs crammed with peanut butter? I solely simply found this myself, and good lord! Right, anyway, carball.
Psyonix’s spring plans kick off with the February Update, which can finish the previous season of aggressive play and begin a brand new one. February can even deliver a public beta of Tournaments, which can let individuals organise and run bracketed single-elimination tournaments fully inside the sport. That’s manner simpler and extra inviting than counting on exterior match web sites run by different individuals.
Psyonix plan to correctly launch Tournaments within the huge Spring Feature Update, which can are available March or April. That’ll additionally embody choices to handle the sport’s bandwidth use, higher methods to type and search via your assortment of automobile decorations, and extra.
Beyond that, plans get hazy. Psyonix plan to put out the roadmap for summer time as soon as the Tournaments replace is reside, however objects on the agenda already embody new arenas, overhauling development to “make XP relevant again” and reward gamers with loot crate keys, and sure, cross-platform multiplayer events.
Rocket League is hardly in need of gamers–at its lowest ebb right this moment, it had 22 thousand PC gamers on the similar time–however it is going to be grand to play with friends preferring consoles. Well, it would get a little bit tough, because it is determined by consoles enjoying properly, and a few are dragging their heels. PC, Xbox One, and Switch gamers are already shuffled into the identical matchmaking queues, I imagine, however the PlayStation four doesn’t play properly with different consoles and solely mixes with the PC pool. That may change or it would stay a bizarre hurdle. We shall see!
