• The switch to Unreal Engine 6 is expected to be a massive update for Rocket League, especially in terms of visuals, physics, and online infrastructure. For years, the community has been asking for significant improvements related to servers, lighting, advanced physics, and modern tools for competitive play.

Additionally, the transition to the new engine could facilitate future features that are in high demand, such as better custom modes, more ambitious events, and a more notable graphical evolution on Xbox Series, PS5, and PC.
