Future Rocket League Updates, Compiled
One of the surprise game of the year candidates so far in 2015 has to be Rocket League. Not only does it take a sport that’s only great in international national team play and make it marvelous year-round, but it does so in a high-octane manner. It’s cars with rocket boosts hitting balls into nets. What’s not to love? As PS4 owners have just one more week to download the title as part of the PlayStation Plus July 2015 offering, the developers at Psyonix are taking to Twitter to answer questions about the future of Rocket League, its intended patches and upcoming DLC facts.
Here are just some of the prominent updates coming to Rocket League in the future, as confirmed by Rocket League developers themselves (with help from the Rocket League site)
1. The next patch will include Win % (as opposed to ratio), Mouse sensitivity for PC, will unlock the Virtuoso achievement and proper item tracking for online games.
BTW, important fix coming in our next patch: Stat tracking for online games will properly record for their correlating Garage items

2. Quitter punishment for leaving ranked matches may come into effect next patch.
@CampionTen We are trying to get quitter punishment in the next patch. When we can confirm, we'll let you know.

3. 3v3 Team Ranked and Spectator Modes are coming soon, hopefully bringing a legitimate eSports scene to Rocket League
@chizfoshiz Yep. Spectator Mode should be coming soon. HIGH priority for us

4. Plans to allow a solution to cross-platform party play.
@Lobster_Heat It's in the plans!

66 A free map in the style of SARPBC’s Utopia map before DLC comes out.e
@m118marc The new map will be inspired thematically by the old Utopia map from @SARP_BattleCars, but it will play like the more recent maps

7. A paid DLC pack after free stuff, including new cars.
We're focused on a new patch right now, but in a few weeks our first paid DLC drops. Here's a peek at 1 of 2 new cars pic.twitter.com/P5cPC9J8GR

Considering that a large chunk of the Rocket League audience comes from those playing for free, I’m glad to see that Psyonix has been prioritizing updates properly. The servers, recently, have been holding strong, making it a lot easier to join a game than it was before. Now is the perfect time to implement bonus content, as well as an opportunity to make a little bit of money from DLC. As long as it keeps adding on to the good thing they have going now, you can’t fault them for it!
