Is Rocket League cross-platform?

Rocket League, the high-octane, physics-based sports title that combines the thrill of soccer with the speed and precision of rocket-powered cars, has a significant advantage – its gameplay is cross-platform.

Players from different platforms, such as PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, can play together in the same online match.

Cross-platform gameplay

The cross-platform play of Rocket League was introduced to the game for the first time in 2019. Thanks to this, players can join matches with friends quickly, regardless of where they are playing.

This feature of Rocket League also extends to its online matchmaking, allowing players to compete against opponents from other platforms. The number of players has dramatically increased thanks to this feature, making it likely that users will be able to enter a match quickly and easily.

It is important to note that Rocket League users playing on PlayStation 4 cannot play with Xbox One users because Sony does not have cross-play enabled on its platform.

However, Rocket League’s cross-play feature allows users to enjoy the game with a vast audience.

How to play Rocket League cross-platform

For you to enjoy Rocket League cross-platform, these are the steps to follow:

• You must check if there are game updates available.
• After updating the game, you can create a game or join one.
• To play with friends from different platforms, you have to invite them to the match using their unique Rocket ID (The Rocket ID is an identifier assigned to each player; you get it in the game settings menu. Another way to get it is by clicking the options button in the game’s main menu.

Recommendations

When playing a cross-platform game, you must consider that there may be some slight differences in the controls and gameplay. For example, PC players can access a broader range of keyboard and mouse controls, while console users only have one controller.

Players on each platform may have different skill levels and experience, so it is essential to be patient and respectful of your teammates.

Another essential aspect you should remember when playing Rocket League cross-platform is that it is only available in online matches. Therefore, you will not be able to play with friends in offline modes such as exhibition matches, training, or special events.

The cross-platform Rocket League game is unavailable in RLCS or other tournaments and leagues. This means that players on each platform will have separate tournaments.
