Hello, Rocket League players! We hope you’re enjoying the Rumble update that rolled out last week. So far, over four million Rumble games have been played since Thursday! Needless to say, this has led to some pretty amazing goals (and saves!).

Today we’re following up the Rumble update with a hotfix to address playability issues across multiple platforms. See the full list below. Note: Despite the hot fix, Xbox One players may still encounter issues with tracking and unlocking distance-based Achievements. We are still investigating this problem and will update you with more info when we have more.

    • Presets can be quickly swapped between in the “Garage” submenu.

    • Xbox One players cannot currently trade Keys.

  • Keys, or items obtained from Keys (like Crate items) have a “Trade Hold” that prevents them from being traded to other players for 7 days from the time of purchase.
• The primary color palette has expanded to give players more options for their Blue and Orange cars, including Green colors for the Blue Team!

Online

• Introducing “Champions Crates”…
  • You can now find “Champions Crates” rarely after completing online matches. They contain exclusive decals, wheels, boost trails, and even “Import” car bodies. Crates can be unlocked with Keys, which are for sale in the “Manage Inventory” and Crate Unlock menus
    • Note: A portion of the proceeds from all “Champions Crates” opened goes directly to Rocket League eSports prize pools.
  • Each crate has a unique “series” of items it may contain. Items in each crate are classified as Rare, Very Rare, Import, Exotic, and Black Market.
  • In the “Manage Inventory” screen, while selecting a crate the tooltip displays the full set of items in that series and which ones you have collected.
    • Crate items can be used in the existing “Trade In” system that exchanges five items of one rarity for a random new item of higher rarity.
      • Only Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, and Import items can be traded up.
    • Crate items must be traded up with other items from their same series and you will receive a new item from the same series.
    • You can view your Crates and preview their possible contents from the “Manage Inventory” screen.
  • Crate drops do not count against your normal Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare online item drop limit. They are a completely separate system.
  • All of the “Import” cars included in crates have identical steering and hitbox stats to existing vehicles in the game.

  • When creating a private match, you can now specify custom Team Names for both teams. These names will appear on the scoreboard and when goals are scored.

• Competitive Inactivity
  • Players who do not play a competitive match for 30 days or longer are now considered Inactive. Inactivity removes you from Competitive Leaderboards and reassigns you to the “Unranked” Skill Tier.
  • Inactive players’ skill rating is not lost or reset – they must play a few placement matches to be re calibrated. The number of placement matches depends on how long they have been inactive.
• The following Boost Trails have received a visual upgrade:

UI/ UX

  • You can Party Chat on the Main Menu before matchmaking, from Training or other local modes, or even in a live match.
  • Messages from other party members will appear in your in-game chat log as well.
• The “Manage Inventory” screen now supports searching and filtering of items.
• While in the Replay Viewer, you can now open the Replay List and change which replay you’re watching from the mid-game menu.
• In Competitive matches, the Skill Division / Promotion / Demotion display has been moved to the Scoreboard screen so it does not interfere with the Postgame Spotlight.

AUDIO

• Split screen audio is now handled in a new way allowing for cleaner reproduction, specifically focused on surround sound systems.
• An audio priority system has been put into place that slightly alters the mix balance so you hear more of what is relevant to the given gameplay situation
• New attenuation curves have been implemented for cleaner spatialization within gameplay
• Spam Control has been implemented that turns down and makes the sound less focused as it is pressed in rapid succession (this is mostly used for boost ignition sounds)
• New EQ and Filtering on a per buss level to clean up the low end (bassiness) of the game
• A redesign of the goal explosion sound has been put in that is more concise and punchy

    • Division III

CHANGES AND UPDATES

General

• The “Hoops” 2v2 mode has been added as an unranked playlist, and is also available in Private Matches and Exhibition mode at any team size.
• Exhibition and Private Match now have a “Game Mode” selector. The mode you select determines which maps you can choose – for instance, “Hoops” can only be played on the “Dunk House” map.
• During Overtime, the in-game UI clock now counts upwards to indicate how long the overtime has lasted.
• New “Cosmic” Arena has been added to the “Rocket Labs” playlist
• After scoring in Free Play, there will no longer be a 3/2/1 countdown.

Stats

• “Dunks” stats has been added with this DLC.
  • When a player scores a basket/goal with any NBA flag equipped, it will increase your stat on that NBA flag.

UI/ UX

• Players can now trigger an automatic replay save mid-game, so they don’t have to wait until the match concludes and remember to save it then.
  • Auto-Save is triggered by holding the activation button during gameplay. When triggered, the save will be queued and a message will appear in the chatbox indicating the action. A replay tick mark is automatically added to the replay at the timestamp the player triggered the autosave.
• Players can now manually name (and rename) replays.
  • Select “Save Replay” at the end of game and the user can now provide a custom name.
  • Users can also rename replays in the frontend.
    • Mouse/Keyboard – A pencil icon appears when mousing over a replay. Clicking the Pencil brings up the rename dialog.
    • Controller – Pressing Triangle button on the Replay menu brings up the rename dialog.
