Rocket League, the popular car soccer game from Psyonix that launched last month, got a big update today. This patch includes support for the game’s first substantial DLC pack, called Supersonic Fury, in addition to a bunch of tweaks and changes.
The DLC includes a lot of new customization options, including two brand-new cars. Both vehicles come with six decals each. The pack also features five paint types, two wheels, and two Rocket Boosts. It adds three new trophies, as well, and it costs $4. You can see the DLC in action below.
In addition, the update adds a new, free map called Utopia Coliseum, which is based on a field from Psyonix’s previous game, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. Although the field is the same, the map is set in a stadium similar to the Roman Coliseum. The patch also adds a bunch of new items and features, such as 70 additional country flags, a spectator mode in private matches, and an ability to forfeit ranked matches. You can see the full list of changes in Version 1.04 below.
New Features
- Added “Spectate” to “Choose Team” menu for “Private Matches”, allowing players the option to watch games rather than participate (3v3 match-type maximum)
- Added “Utopia Coliseum” Arena
- Added “3v3 Team Ranked” as a replacement for “3v3 Solo” the Online match queue
- Added “Vote to Forfeit” button to “Ranked” online matches
- Added the ability to create or join Private Matches that can be named and/or password-protected
- Added “Community Flags” sub-section to Garage Items/ Antennas
- Added “Reset Shot” to Keybinding Options to address errant R1 training reassignment
Changes and Updates
- “Ranked” matches will no longer start if the game is not full
- “Ranked” Skill ratings are now calculated on dedicated servers
- Antennas
- “Saturn” has been renamed to “Planetoid” (because Saturn doesn’t have craters)
- Up to four Party member’s Battle-Cars can now be displayed on the Menu screens
- Repaired several “Connect Failure” issue
- Fixed “Private Match” bug that sometimes caused the “Update Match” settings to disappear for the Party Leader
- Clearing the “Voice Chat” binding no longer removes the binding for “Reset Training”
Although Utopia Coliseum isn’t very different than the other maps in the game, players can expect DLC in the future that much more radically changes Rocket League’s gameplay. Recently, Psyonix revealed that “crazy different maps” are currently in development.
Rocket League launched last month and was positively received, quickly accumulating more than 5 million downloads across PlayStation 4 and PC. Although Psyonix has given no concrete plans for ports to other systems, the developer has confirmed that the game will definitely come to platforms other than PS4 and PC.
GameSpot gave Rocket League its Game of the Month for July. You can read our review here.
