Seems like a similar patch as CoD Warzone got.

Ratchet & Clank blasts into Rocket League, plus ride into Season 4

Claim the free bundle inspired by the Lombax and robot duo.

blog.playstation.com

"Get the free Ratchet & Clank bundle in Rocket League beginning August 18 just by logging into Rocket League on the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5."

edit - Rocket League's website has made it more clear this is still just the PS4 Pro version but with 120 Hz added. Same 4K checkerboard as it has been.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Same as the Series X? I mean the 70% of 4K part.

Yes exact same. Same 2 modes. Same frame rates and resolutions.

 

[mckmas8808]

Sounds like a good update.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Yes exact same. Same 2 modes. Same frame rates and resolutions.

Thank you for that. For some reason I thought the Series X was a Native 4K.

Anyways im glad that they managed to upgrade the PS5 version. I guess it's getting easier to upgrade last gen titles which is good to see.

 

[DonF]

This game deserves a native next gen version. Current version has load times, which is ridiculous, considering my super old PC with a regular SSD loads instantly.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

I was really hoping it was a native PS5 game, but it looks like it's just backwards compatible still which is disappointing. The load times are horrendous on PS5.

I think it loads rather quickly on the Series X.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Far and away my top played title every year, great move finally will fire up the PS5 and see how it plays

Yeah a full native next gen version would be nice, maybe someday.

Fortnite got one, so maybe next up Epic will update their second biggest game.

Yeah like 1 or 2 seconds right? That's how it was on my PC as well. When I got the PS5, I assumed (wrongfully) that PS4 games could load that quick too, but I guess I just didn't understand how backwards compatibility worked at the time.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

It does load super fast on the Series X

 

[RoadHazard]

Would prefer a proper next gen version, but this will be nice. No 120hz TV yet, so 4K60 for me.

So basically nothing will change for you. It was already 4K/60. That's not going to change.

 

[AJUMP23]

I have been playing this game so long I need to get better, but Aerials are hard.

 

[kyliethicc]

Actually on PS4 Pro it was checkerboard, not native. So this is an improvement.

You're still playing the same PS4 Pro checkerboard version though. They didn't improve the resolution.

 

[JoeBudden]

Damn this is amazing. Still one of the best multiplayer games out.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I have been playing this game so long I need to get better, but Aerials are hard.

I have so many hours in it and every season flirt with Champion and as soon as I get in the Champions bracket I get the pro GCs and get my ass kicked

 

[kyliethicc]

Yes they did. Its now going to be native 2160p at 60 Hz.

I am stuck in the GOLD ranks. been there forever.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

Where did you hear that? The industry throws around the "4K/60" thing a lot, but most times it's just fake 4K. Also, from what I know, you can't change the resolution on a backwards compatible game unless something has changed since then.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I started playing a lot of hoops to practice my aerials it helped a lot

 

[RoadHazard]

It was? I thought it was still just the Pro version, which I thought was lower than 4K (and also not a locked 60 at all times).

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

I'm stick in Diamond 3. Hit champ once and lost it almost instantly.

Idk seems like they can now. You're right it could still be checkerboard but we'll see.

They used to be unable to add 120 Hz to PS4 games via BC as well. But that has since changed. I'm sure they could bump res up.

I would be pleasantly surprised if the image quality changed tomorrow. I'll have to take a screenshot before and after

You two want to carry me to a tournament victory?

 

[ne1butu]

Fucking finally. Gonna be good.

Hit me up, my PSN is Dust-by-Monday

I assume there is Cross play for Xbox and PSN now on this game.

[Arioco]

How is 2688x1512 (4 million pixels) 70% of 4K, which is over 8 million pixels? Am I missing something?

 

[kyliethicc]

The 120 Hz mode is specifically said as 2688x1512 resolution. That's about 4 million pixels.

Checkerboard 4K is also about 4 million pixels. (3840x2160 / 2)

Would be odd if the 60 and 120 modes were rendering roughly the same pixels per frame.

They also say the UI is "4K" when using the 120 mode, and I'd be surprised if that was not native 2160p.

How is 2688x1512 (4 million pixels) 70% of 4K, which is over 8 million pixels? Am I missing something?

Its not really. 1512 is 70% of 2160. And 2688 is 70% of 3840.

 

[elliot5]

it's 70% of the axis, not overall total pixels.

 

[squidilix]

Is a PS5 game or just BC PS4 ?

 

[JaksGhost]

I was really hoping it was a native PS5 game, but it looks like it's just backwards compatible still which is disappointing. The load times are horrendous on PS5.

I see it as a good thing that they were able to implement 120hz in yet another game that we were originally told wouldn't be possible without a native version. It shows that they are doing work in increasing the backwards compatibility of the machine.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

Hopefully it's native 4K and hopefully the loading times are improved, but I doubt it.

 

[Arioco]

Its not really. 1512 is 70% of 2160. And 2688 is 70% of 3840.

OH, thanks, now I get it.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Better late than never, but this thing should easily run ABOVE that custom 1440p(+) native resolution at 120Hz, on these 2 new new consoles.

How does it perform on the Series S?

1080p60 or 756p120 which yeah is really odd because I could run this game on my old old PC perfectly fine at high framerates. It's like they just took the config for Series X and 50% scaled down on the axes for Series S in both perf and resolution mode

 

[Banjo64]

Great for PS5 owners.

Why the fuck does this game only run at 70% of 4k though? It's literally 2-6 cars in a small self contained arena with no special lighting and barely any effects. Am I missing something?

I'd hoped they would increase performance over time (similar to how Fortnite always receives performance boosts), evidently not though.

 

[Captain Toad]

Wow!

There is, you can add friends across platforms using your epic account.

And Switch and PC. I played on my Series X, my buddy on his PS5 and my son sitting next to me on his Switch Lite.

 

[mancstheps5fanboy]

better bang on download , i have my lappy on ultrawide now mostly , but bang ps on ultrawide for speed gameplay and smoothness ,
use the 4k 16.9 front room tv for prettyness
, but a monitor , makes a p5 feel next gen , speed is a massive thing , now its down to if you have a monitor or tv , with fast enough hertz and response time. cool.

i imagine this game will benefit massively.

 

[nowifenolife]

The 1080p super sample mode, will this be at 120fps anyone?

Lazy fucking cunts, especially after the epic buyout, riding on the console manufacturer's BC capabilities.

Here's the Series S GPU (slightly slower actually) paired with a CPU that is 2 generations behind the new consoles and the Series S. Averages around 150-200 FPS at 1080p max settings.

Man, they must be lazy shits at Psyonix. Thanks for sharing.

I am stuck in the GOLD ranks. been there forever.

Lol me too, been playing since it launched on Ps4 and I'm stuck at gold 3.
Occasionally make it to platinum but then always get back down on a loosing streak.

This is one of the few games I still have a blast with even when I'm loosing though.
