Rocket League is comfortably one of the best games on the PlayStation 4, but since deploying the madcap multiplayer title earlier in the month, developer Psyonix has been busy beavering away on a patch for the popular soccer adaptation. And fan site Rocket League Garage has been collating all of the details from the studio's Twitter account.
Due out early next week, the update will make a whole host of tweaks to the already excellent experience. For starters, your win/loss ratio will be displayed as a much more meaningful percentage moving forwards, while bots will adjust skill level depending on the average level of the players in a particular match.
The company's also working on a slew of other features, including a spectator mode and extra items for those who survived the server outage at launch. It's also got some free and premium DLC in the pipeline, with a new stadium set to be given away in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Supersonic Fury add-on will cost money, but will come with two new cars.
Are you still enjoying Rocket League – or has the novelty worn off yet? The game's surpassed four million downloads at the time of typing, which is pretty extraordinary – although it has, obviously, been buoyed by its PlayStation Plus promotion. Still, we told you that this would be big over a year ago.

Hopefully they add new trophies so I have a reason to come back. I all ready have the Platinum.
@Splat How many matches did you have to play?
I refuse to get the platinum, the only way to get the 500km travelled trophy is with the old elastic band round your trigger and thumbstick and I'd rather not have it than do that. I boosted a whole offline game in a giant circle and travelled less than 1km that means I would have to play about 600 offline game's to get that trophy as it only work's offline I have all the other trophy's though. That said the game is pretty awsome and i'm willing to spend money on DLC for sure.
@xMEADx Is that how people are getting it? Just putting an elastic band around their controller and leaving it turned on all night? Are they doing it on the training pitch?
@get2sammyb - It takes 165 games to get the "Collect All Items" trophy. I for one didn't use the rubber band trick for the 500km one.
I just played offline hit every speed boost and rocked out to some Spotify. I have read that not changing tires speeds up the process but not sure if true.
That trophy seems to be some what glitched and has been popping for people at different times.
@get2sammyb I tried every mode but it only worked for me in offline season mode and I boosted 100% of the time and just ignored the ball, I couldn't believe it when I 'd not even travelled 1km afterward's :< i'm just going to leave it and hope they patch it to work in online game's. The only guide's I could see on youtube showed people strapping elastic band's to their controller's and playing season's so I think that's the only way it work's.
@Splat Nice, thanks!
Yeah the whole 500km has to be done on the same wheel's.
I finally got a chance to sit down and play this game last night with my son and I am enjoying it alot. I am hoping to play some more tonight with a few co-workers. I would definitely pick up any DLC this game has to offer.
I've not been playing it due the overheating problems on older PS4's, hopefully this patch will fix it.
@xMEADx That's grim I'm 19km in on a set and did the same as you. I got 1.2km in 5 minutes. The trophy is ludicrous. However with add ons and stuff it may help and pick it up next year or something.
@adf86 really i have an old ps4 and play this game constantly ive even left it in the menu for afew hours andd it hasent overheated
Wot a game.only one thing I need to get it off my son he loves it 😀
Thanks to all of you who told me to download this gem i would have hated to miss this!!!
I just read about the 500km trophy on playstationtrophies.org. According to the user JSkeleton92:
"If you go into an Exhibition match, with NO bots, and do NOT score, letting it go into Overtime, it should go on forever until you stop the game. Use rubber bands on your left stick and R2 to constantly drive in cricles. This would be the easiest way to earn the trophy."
People have done the maths and figure out that it would take roughly 67 hours to get the trophy, but that's based on the mileage given out by the tyres when you view them in the garage. That mileage is said to be way lower than the actual mileage. People have got the trophy for 500km when they hadn't even done 100km.
@SKC_Diamond When you play a match the PS4's fan gets really loud, like too loud for it to be normal, thankfully it's been a common enough issue that the devs are trying to fix it.
