For those playing on PlayStation 5, they will also be getting a neat update in the form of a higher framerate Performance mode. The update also goes live on Aug. 18, and will update the target settings for the game’s two Video Settings, Quality and Performance. Here’s the rundown:
Quality
- 4K checkerboard resolution at 60 FPS, with HDR
-
HDR requires HDR10 compatible display and HDMI 2.0 cable or better
Performance
- 2688×1512 (70% of full 4K) at 120 FPS, with HDR
-
HDR and 120 FPS require a compatible display, as well as Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable
The game UI will run at 4K checkerboard in Performance mode, and for both modes, a 4K capable display will be required to experience 4K UHD. If a 1080p display is used, it will render at 1080p, super-sampled from the mode’s resolution target.
While Rocket League‘s been around for a while now, it’s rad to see more updates continue to roll out for it. The rocket-powered car-sport has already gone free-to-play and supports cross-platform play, and even years later, it’s still getting some free updates like a neat lil’ topper for the cars.
