Come precedentemente annunciato giunge oggi su Rocket League un importante aggiornamento che tutti gli appassionati del gioco attendevano con trepidazione: sarà possibile, infatti, creare e partecipare a molti tornei in-game, limitando anche l’ingresso all’evento da un minimo ad un massimo rank competitivo.
Oltre a questo, verranno apportati ulteriori aggiunte e miglioramenti:

• L’introduzione di adesivi colorati per entrambe le colorazioni arancione/blu
• La limitazione della chat di testo esclusivamente per i propri compagni di squadra
• Gli indicatori dello stato della qualità della connessione all’interno del gioco
• Il miglioramento delle prestazioni e delle impostazioni grafiche per Nintendo Switch
• La fresca musica di gioco di Monstercat
• La nuova cassa “Trionfo”

Di seguito andiamo a vedere le note della patch complete, pubblicate poche ore fa da Psyonix.
