Rocket League preps for China, cross-platform parties, and 4K on Xbox One X

Rocket League continues to thrive as a live service. Developer Psyonix is now detailing its plans for the rest of 2018. The vehicular soccer game is going to soon enter the world’s largest gaming market. It’s also getting an updated version for Microsoft’s Xbox One X. The studio has also revealed that it is delaying its big cross-platform party system.In December, Rocket League will get its last major update for the year. This patch will focus on Xbox One X enhancements. Psyonix is promising support for ultra HD 4K, HDR, and 60 frames per second all at the same time. But the studio is also going to roll out new content in December as well. That includes its second premium progression pass and a new in-game celebration.“December will also see the beginning of the next Rocket Pass with a new suite of items, along with another licensed premium DLC that will release around the same time,” Rocket League director Scott Rudi wrote in a blog post. “And starting in mid-December, Frosty Fest 2018 will operate just like our currently-happening Haunted Hallows Event; you’ll earn Snowflakes for playing matches online and redeem it for holiday-themed items, including a ‘Golden Gift.'”
