Rocket League UPDATE: Cross platform release time and Season 9 rewards

Psyonix is releasing an important Rocket League update today that will bring full cross-platform support to PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

The new feature has been in beta testing for some time and is finally going live today in the new “Friends Update”.

Rocket League will become the second fully-fledged cross-platform game on PS4 and will offer a great new friends list to use.

Using this updated feature will allow Rocket League gamers to see the online status of all of their RL friends, regardless of what platform they use.

The Friends List is split into four tabs, with Psyonix explaining how the new system works below:

“The Friends Tab will display your friends on your current platform. The RocketID Tab will show your online friends on all other platforms.

“After the update, every player will be auto-assigned a RocketID, which will be your username followed by four randomly-generated numbers. You may change the word portion of your RocketID at any time.

“The Recent Players tab conveniently shows players you were recently matched up with or against.

“If you had solid team chemistry with a randomly-matched player, you can easily send that player a Friend Request from the Recent Players tab if they are on a different platform.

“Finally, the Alerts tab will house all of your player interactions like Friend Requests, Party Invites, and Club Invites. Yes, Clubs are now Cross-Platform, too!”

We also know when this new Rocket League update will be going live on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

The schedule for today includes the end of Season 9, which will begin at 4pm in the UK, followed by the start of Season 10 and the new Friends update at 6pm, GMT.

Competitive Season 9 Rewards will be part of the Friends update, meaning they probably won’t be available straight after it ends.

For those that don’t know, Season 9 Rewards will be a unique set of Wheels for each rank earned in Competitive and Extra Modes.

Rocket League players who have completed their placement matches in a Competitive Playlist and fulfilled the appropriate Season Reward Level will earn a certain level of reward.
