FIFA World Cup LTE

https://preview.redd.it/2inu2eru5c6h1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc0cdb6f1041bcf403455c6d24dc55fa32e92055

The world's biggest football tournament has arrived in Rocket League. Represent your country in the Rocket League x FIFA World Cup 2026™ LTE , where every match counts toward a global leaderboard.

  • Pick your country and compete in online matches to earn points for your nation.
  • Track your country's standing on the leaderboard at RocketLeague.com throughout the event.
  • Earn exclusive rewards just for participating — and earn more the higher your country climbs.

One Dream. One Arena. One World Cup.

Choose Your Respawn Location

https://preview.redd.it/tw6hmabw5c6h1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb36ca53b343b4cb31077300a2d9b2e61c4a8a18

You just got demolished. It happens. But now, what happens next is up to you.

After being demolished in an online match, a quick UI toggle will appear before you respawn, letting you choose your spawn position relative to your own goal.

  • Select from available spawn locations on your side of the field.
  • The choice window is brief, so stay sharp.
  • If no input is made before the timer expires, you'll spawn at one of the locations randomly (just like the old behavior).
  • By default, choosing a spawn location is bound to the left analog stick on controller, but you can remap it to the buttons of your choice in the keybindings menu

The last bit of randomness in Rocket League gameplay is now in your hands. Choose wisely!

Streamer Mode

With Streamer Mode enabled, player usernames can be anonymized during online matches.

  • Your username, your opponents', and your teammates' names can be anonymized in match using combinations of the new options.
  • Anonymization applies across the scoreboard, social menu, and spectator voice channel notifications.
  • Saved replays are not affected — real names will still appear there so your VODs stay intact.
  • Players can always be reported normally; anonymization does not remove in-game reporting tools.

Happy Streaming!

Speed Stat Graphs, Hitbox Visualization & Goal Scorer's View

https://preview.redd.it/u42yjhhx5c6h1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f2fcfd322547f847dd3195fa981c88de484880e

Three new in-game tools are arriving in Season 23, bringing some of the most-requested community features natively into Rocket League.

Speed Stat Graphs

  • Display a real-time overlay of the velocity of the car and ball during matches and training.
  • Toggle on and off via Settings.

Hitbox Visualization

  • See the active hitbox of your vehicle rendered as an in-game overlay.
  • Available in Offline Freeplay.

Goal Scorer's View in Replays

  • A new toggle appears during goal replays that switches the camera to the scorer's perspective.
  • Available in all game modes.

Custom Training Expansion

The last update brought randomization tools to Custom Training. This update goes further - now custom training creators can control how your car moves at the start of each shot. 

  • Car Velocity Define the vehicle's starting speed to simulate a wider range of scenarios – including support for starting shots in mid-air.
  • Car PitchWhen creating a shot in a training back, the pitch rotation of the vehicle can now be modified. Combine that with the velocity setting, and now creators can make a whole new set of aerial training!
  • Boost AmountWhen playing a training, you can now set a specific starting boost amount using a new slider in the Setting menu.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed an issue where grass and dirt VFX were launched in the wrong direction when drifting.

Hey everyone!

Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) is now required for online play in Rocket League on PC.

LINK TO BLOG: https://rl.gg/eac

Rocket League is at its best when every goal feels earned and matches are fair. To help maintain competitive integrity, Epic Online Services’ Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) is required for online play on PC starting today. Steam Deck and Linux are also supported, so you can keep playing on your preferred hardware.

How EAC Works

EAC works in the background using advanced behavioral analysis and proactive detection techniques to prevent cheating and botting. It also flags repeat offenders and ban evaders.

If EAC spots a violation mid-match, it cancels the match without any impact on your Matchmaking Rating (MMR). It also gets smarter over time using both player reports and its own findings to catch new cheating tactics.

In addition to adding EAC, Rocket League also has other player protections. Ban waves for bots are now more frequent, and a new bot detection method that’s significantly more accurate will be shipping this quarter. For smurfing and account selling, we’ll continue to remove Competitive Rewards from offending accounts to disincentivize both. 

Support for Community Mods in Offline Play

Community mods will not run when EAC is enabled. To account for this, we're bringing several of the features those mods pioneered directly into the game like native MMR display, Custom Training Randomization, and Free Play Team Colors. This work builds on the foundation laid by our community modders, so thank you to Bakkes and all of the BakkesMod plugin volunteer developers who have shaped how people play.

If you choose to turn EAC off, you can still run third-party mods while training, playing offline and LAN matches, and viewing Replays with custom video editing tools. Steam Workshop maps are playable with or without EAC, but you'll want it off if you run mods on top of that content. 

Tools for Creators and Tournament Organizers

For tournament organizers and creators who’ve built broadcasts using overlay plugins like SimpleAOB’s, a new StatsAPI feature is included in this update that lets you pull data directly from the game to customize your broadcasts. A new setting in the options menu also lets you toggle the visibility of the in-game HUD so you can overlay your own assets.
