CHANGES AND UPDATES

Expanded Preset Slots

• We’ve expanded preset slots from 50 to 75, giving room for more custom combos! Mix and match items and turn them into ready-to-go rides.

Champions Field update

• To honor and celebrate the 2025 RLCS 3v3 champions Atomic, BeastMode, Daniel, and Satthew — and the 1v1 champion Nwpo — banners for them have been added to the Champions Field Arena. 

Skip New Player Tutorial

• Players who have already completed the introductory tutorial will no longer be forced back into it when playing on another platform for the first time (excluding Xbox).

Nintendo Switch 2 Rendering Enhancements

• We’ve made a series of visual and performance improvements for Rocket League on Nintendo Switch 2.

  • Simplified Graphics Settings

    • The Performance/Quality toggle has been removed, as Rocket League on Nintendo Switch 2 now uses the best of both settings.

  • Improved Resolution

    • Docked mode: Resolution is now locked at 1080p, 60 FPS in docked mode.

    • Handheld mode: Dynamic resolution now targets 1080p at 60 FPS, but will still reduce resolution as needed to keep gameplay smooth.

  • Visual Quality Upgrades 

    • Increased world detail

    • Higher texture quality in handheld mode, matching docked mode

    • Crisper texture detail with increased anisotropic filtering (reduces jagged lines and blurry edges on surfaces)

    • Improved lighting effects

    • Ambient occlusion

    • Higher-resolution shadows

BUG FIXES

Visual

• Fixed taillight brightness appearing inconsistent across multiple Car Bodies.

• The Heatwave Decal now displays correctly on Lamborghini Urus.
