Rocket League adding cross-platform party support later this year
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Rocket League currently supports cross-platform play. If you’re playing on Switch, you can match together with someone on an Xbox One or PC.
Psyonix intends to take this a step further with cross-platform party support. The functionality will be added in later this year, the studio confirmed via Twitter.
Hey there! We’re actively working on cross-platform party support for a 2018 release. 🙂

Cross-platform parties will allow for the ability to create a party of players from different platforms that can move together between matches as a group without having to constantly invite people into a private match. As the way things are now, parties are limited to other players on the same platform.

[Review] Rocket League
Posted on 6 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 2 Comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 14, 2017
Developer: Psyonix / Panic Button
Publisher: Psyonix
Rocket League has seen tremendous growth in popularity and players over the past few years since its original release, and also now cements itself as one of the largest eSports franchises in the world. At the same time, it remains easy to pick up and play for the casual gamer to enjoy. Although we’ve seen a surge in online multiplayer titles for quite awhile now, Rocket League maintains a dedicated and respectful consumer base thanks to its low cost of entry, hours of fun, and, most importantly, no pay-to-win nonsense. The cars won’t run faster, but having something like the Batmobile will definitely make you look cooler than most out on the field (besides the incredible Metroid car, of course).
