Rocket League Sideswipe has started its third – Season ! Today we show you what new content the patch has brought and when the update will be released.

It’s been a while since Psyonix announced Rocket League Sideswipe – the mobile version of Rocket League. In the meantime, Sideswipe is already in – Season 3 (the “normal” Rocket League is in – Season 6, by the way)… time just flies by insanely fast when you’re having fun in the Battle Arena and conquering the rankings in Rocket League.

With each new – Season , Psyonix releases a lot of new content, of course. Quick recap: For the second – Season of Rocket League Sideswipe, that was Volleyball mode, casual playlists, and numerous new items. So what can we look forward to in the third – Season ? And when does the update go live anyway? Don’t worry, we’re here to answer those questions for you. Let’s go!

What’s new in – Season 3 of Rocket League Sideswipe?

Psyonix doesn’t release new updates for Rocket League Sideswipe very often, but the patches are always quite something. Just have a look at the Sideswipe homepage, there are patch notes for each new – Season and usually a mid– Season update. So let’s go through what’s changing with – Season 3 now. Small spoiler: The patch notes are a bit longer this time. Sorry…

New content including spectator mode

Yes, you read that right. With the launch of the third – Season , the spectator mode has finally found its way to Rocket League Sideswipe. Of course, this offers several advantages… For one, it’s obviously a fantastic tool for Sideswipe Content Creator to create new videos. For another, casual players can also analyze their own gameplay much better and thus get better at Rocket League faster.

But not only that, because the format that started it all in Rocket League is now also available in Sideswipe: the new 3v3 mode! We know what you’re probably thinking right now: 3v3 in Rocket League Sideswipe…. won’t that be very tight? We can reassure you, because Psyonix has thought along here. To keep things from getting too crowded on the battlefield, the developers have added a new Longfield arena. In addition, you’ll always know exactly where your teammates are thanks to a new offscreen pointer.

The 3v3 mode in Rocket League Sideswipe definitely sounds like a lot of fun and, above all, chaos in the arena. So make sure you cut a good figure during the games – and that works especially well with the three new bodies Marauder, Mantis and Takumi! Along with many other items and rewards, these three cars are part of Rocket Pass 3 in Sideswipe.

Rocket League Explained – Car-football for Dummies

Soccer meets racing. In Rocket League, you go hunting for goals with Turbo. What sounds simple can quickly become complex due to the variety of techniques to control the ball. Here’s your beginner’s guide to getting started as a Rocket League pro, including all the terminology you need to know.

Rocket League is a video game published by Psyonix and belongs to the genre (game category) “sports simulation”. These are games where players can virtually practice a sport. In the case of Rocket League, this is a combination of soccer and racing, played on a futuristic soccer field.

Players compete alone or with up to 3 other players in a team, with the goal of scoring as many goals as possible. The winner is the team that has scored more goals at the end of the time. A round lasts about 5 minutes, but is extended with a golden goal in case of a draw. Unlike in conventional soccer, the players do not control people here, but special cars that drive across the pitch.

Rocket League offers a variety of game modes. From classic car-football to fun game modes with mutators. These are selected before the start of each game. In eSports, only the classic mode without mutators is used.

The Rocket League ABC

In Rocket League, the goal is to master the car, learn special moves, and still keep track of the field. When pros throw around terms like 50/50 or double tab, it’s easy to lose track as a newbie. So that you can shine with your knowledge both in the game and in the stream, we have summarized the most important terms of the Rocket League universe for you here.

50/50 – When two or more players touch the ball at the same time, a kind of press ball is created. The direction in which the ball ultimately flies is random and resembles a 50/50 chance.

Aerial – Unlike classic soccer, Rocket League is not only played on the ground, due to their boost, players can also move in the air for a short time, dribble the ball there or start a shot attempt. As soon as a player leaves the ground he makes aerial actions.

Ballchasing – If a player is chasing the ball all the time and neglects his position, this is called ballchasing.

Boost – To bring the car faster to a higher speed there is boost. The players also use this to fly and steer with the cars.

Demolition – The possibility of demolition shows that Rocket League does not always have to be harmless. Here you drive at high speed through the car of another player and destroy the vehicle. The player is taken out of the game for a short time until respawn and the own team has a higher chance to score a goal.

Double Touch – Double Touch is a term often heard in professional Rocket League streams. This refers to a player scoring a goal by first shooting the ball at the wall next to, or above the opponent’s goal and then sending the rebound towards the goal.

Flick – Controlling the ball is the name of the game in Rocket League. Flicks are shots where the player touches the ball through the dodge mechanic while jumping and shoots with it.

Flip Reset- In Rocket League, each car has a double jump, after which the car must touch the ground with its 4 tires to be able to jump again. Due to the game mechanics, it is also possible to perform this on the ball – the so-called flip reset.

ReDirect – if e.g. player A shoots towards player B and the latter then deflects the direction of the ball e.g. towards the goal, this is called a ReDirect.

Wave Dash – One of the most important techniques in Rocket League is the Wave Dash. By a well-timed flip shortly before you touch the ground, you get a speed boost without performing the flip completely. The technique is mainly used when jumping down walls.
