• ‘Stick Sensitivity’ has been added to the Controls menu

  • At the default value of 1.0, your controller will behave the same as before

  • Your analog stick input is multiplied by these values. Increasing them makes your controller more sensitive at the cost of some fine-tuned control

  • At the maximum value of 10.0, your controller behaves like Keyboard steering, turning at maximum speed from any stick tilt

• ‘Camera Transition Speed’ option has been added to the Camera menu with Rocket League update 1.37.

• With Rocket League version 1.37, all cars are now using one of the standardized presets for handling and hitbox introduced in the Anniversary Update

• All Arenas but Rocket Labs use this new feature in Rocket League version 1.37.

• Transparent Goalposts are enabled by default, but can be toggled off to return to their previous, non-transparent behavior

  • To disable, uncheck the ‘Transparent Goalposts’ box in your Video settings under the Options submenu

Audio

• Introduction of sound ducking in the audible items of the garage

  • When browsing customization items with audio (Goal Explosions, Boosts), in-game background audio/music volume will automatically lower

• Rocket League 1.37 has added delay before playing ‘hover’ item sound to reduce audio spamming in garage

• Performance pass on general gameplay to reduce voice count on lower volume assets

Director Camera (Beta)

• Rocket League update 1.37 has added a new Spectator camera option called ‘Director’.

• The Director is an AI-controlled Camera mode that predicts Shots, Goals, and Saves and cuts to the best player view to frame the action.

Competitive Season 5

• Competitive Season 5 has ended. Titles and items will be awarded for your highest rank achieved during the season. Season 5 Rewards are custom, non-tradeable Player Banners

  • Winning half of your placement matches will land you near your previous season ranking

  • Rank requirements have been updated to distribute more players into Platinum tier and higher, and to reduce the amount of players in Bronze I

  • League Rankings will be temporarily empty until players complete their placement matches in Rocket League Autumn Update.
