Rocket League looks and plays great on PlayStation 5 as it is, but as previously reported it’ll need a native port in order to unlock the 120 frames-per-second features available on other formats. Good news, then: the ongoing Epic Games vs Apple lawsuit has uncovered yet another tidbit – a next-generation Rocket League client that’s in development now.
It seems this new version will, for the first time, be playable on mobile, and it’ll feature crossplay and cross-progression. There’s no explicit mention of Sony’s new system, but frankly we’d be shocked if Psyonix released an updated Rocket League without native support for the next-gen console. The documents mention that a beta is planned for smartphones later this year, and that it’ll be available on mobile “long before it’s released on other platforms”.
Sounds like there’ll be a bit of a wait for this to release, then, but we’re sure it’ll be worth it.

Rocket League would be pretty cool on mobile to be honest. Seems like a slam dunk.
So we’re sure it’s not this mobile Rocket League 2D game that was already announced?

@awp69 oh my ew I hope not
Calculated. Everybody dance!
Oh boy, Destruction All-Stars will have an serious uphill battle then
I'm one of the biggest rocket League fans out there. I do love the checkerboard 4K and 60fps from PS4 Pro, but it would be cool to have some even more advanced options on PS5
@awp69 Exactly my thoughts...
@awp69 That was my thoughts also but I do think they might release a next gen version on unreal engine 5 at some point.
@awp69 Reading through it, this appears to be a straight up mobile port of the main game, as opposed to a new experience like Sideswipe. The documents explicitly say "two new products on the horizon for mobile".
I'd be interested in trying the game again on PS5 if they implemented a high frame rate mode.
I'm surprised its not on ps5 already.
"mobile" sounds unappealing.
Hit's quick chat, "All yours"
I play rocket league almost daily with my friends, so a ps5 port is a big welcome.
Here's hoping we can auto pop the 100+ trophies this game has.
