Rocket League receives free update for Switch 2

Developer Psyonix announced a new update for Rocket League that includes new content but also improvements for the game on the Nintendo Switch 2. When the console launched, Rocket League was not yet enhanced for the console, and its performance was based on the Switch 1.

Psyonix revealed visual and performance improvements for Rocket League on Nintendo Switch 2. In Docked Mode, Resolution is now locked at 1080p, 60 FPS, and in Handheld Mode, Dynamic resolution now targets 1080p at 60 FPS, but will still reduce resolution to make sure gameplay is smooth.

Here is a list of improvements Rocket League now has on Nintendo Switch 2:
