Rocket League Patch Notes v2.66 (10th March 2026)

Rocket League v2.66 went live on March 10th at 4 PM PT, and this one has more going on than your average mid-season patch. Psyonix has packed in several UI and gameplay feedback additions that the community has been asking about for a long time.

The headliners are the Flip Reset Indicator and Visible MMR, two features that serious players have wanted baked into the base game for years. The Boost Timer Visualization is a nice addition too, giving you a cleaner read on boost pad respawns without relying on third-party overlays. That's not nothing, especially for players grinding ranked. There's also a new Override Boost Audio option, Queue Menu changes, Custom Training Settings updates, and Playlist Population Numbers so you can actually see where the player base is sitting before you queue.

Credit where it's due: this is a genuinely useful patch that addresses real friction points rather than just dropping new cosmetics. The Nintendo Switch DLC update and new Quick Chats round things out. Full patch notes are available on the official Steam announcement page. Here's everything that changed:

NEW CONTENT, CHANGES & UPDATES

Playlist Population Numbers

Good news, everyone! A really great feature has made its return, and it’s an amazing day to check the queues.

Playlist Population is once again visible in the Play Menu.

• View total Rocket League player population.
• See playlist-specific population when you’re hovering on a mode.

Now you’ll know exactly how packed the pitch is before you queue up.

Flip Reset Indicator

We’ve introduced a new audio and visual cue to signal when a player has achieved a flip reset, which is when the player has regained their dodge by touching the ball with three or more wheels.

• The visual effect is designed as a quick burst to reinforce the moment of reset without disrupting gameplay clarity.
• The flip reset indicator is only visible/audible to the player performing the flip reset or for spectators, but appears for all players during replays, when the option is enabled.
• You can disable the flip reset indicator in the settings.
  • Disabling the flip reset indicator also turns off the effect while you spectate.

Visible Matchmaking Rating (MMR)

Players now have the option to choose to display their MMR in Competitive Playlists. Enable this option in the settings to:

• Show your MMR on Competitive Playlist tiles.
• Display MMR on the scoreboard at the end of Ranked Matches.

This setting does not affect Casual Playlists.

Boost Timer Visualization

Large boost pads now display a visual recharge indicator so you can play more strategically. 

• Large boost pads take 10 seconds to respawn, with the visual indicator gradually refilling over those 10 seconds until the pad is fully recharged.

Override Boost Audio Option

Players can now set the default, Standard Boost sound to any Boost they have equipped.

• The Override Boost Audio check box can be found in the Audio tab in the settings.
• Only affects your in-match audio, not replays or menus. Other players will still hear the sound associated with the equipped Boost.

Nintendo Switch DLC Update

If you bought Rocket League DLC on Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll now have it on other platforms that the DLC is available on. Just make sure your platform accounts are connected to your Epic account.

New Quick Chats

We’ve added several new Quick Chats to give players more ways to communicate in-game.

• Informational
  • “One more”
  • “Back Post”
  • “Leaving”
  • “Oops, wrong quickchat!”
• Reactions
  • “Unlucky”
  • “This isn’t Rocket League”
  • “Oof”
  • “…”
  • “Be careful!”
  • “Let’s lock in”
  • “Brutal!” has replaced “Savage!”
• Apologies
  • “All good!”

Jump in and let your teammates (and opponents 👀) know exactly what you’re thinking.

Custom Training Settings Update

In Custom Training, new adjustable randomization options create more dynamic scenarios, helping players refine mechanics and build adaptability in unpredictable situations.

These options can be found by opening Custom Training, playing a custom training pack, then opening the settings.

• New settings:
• Ball Speed Modifier (0%–100%, Default: 0%)
  • Applies random variance to the ball’s initial speed. 
  • For example, at 50%, the ball’s speed can randomly increase by up to 50% or decrease by up to 50%.
• Ball Location Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)
  • Randomizes the ball’s spawn location within a radial distance from its original position.
• Ball Height Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)
  • Applies a random vertical offset to the ball’s spawn position.
  • Ball may spawn higher or lower within the defined range.
• Vehicle Location Modifier (0–1000, Default: 0)
  • Randomizes the vehicle’s spawn location within a radial distance from its original position.
• Vehicle Rotation Modifier (0°–100°, Default: 0°)
  • Applies a random rotation variance to the vehicle’s starting orientation.
    • For example, if you choose 30°, the vehicle’s forward direction will vary between -30° and +30° from the original setup.
• •Other new training settings:
  • Spawn Vehicle on Ground (Default: On)
    • When enabled, the vehicle spawns grounded.
    • When disabled, the vehicle spawns using legacy Custom Training behavior (a little bit above the ground).
  • Skip Goal Replay
    • When enabled, goal replays are skipped during Custom Training.
  • Round Start Input Delay (0–0.1 seconds, Default: 0)
    • Changes how immediate a round begins after detecting player input
    • 0 seconds allows for faster, more immediate control at the start of each round.
    • 0.1 seconds is the legacy Custom Training behavior.

Queue Menu Changes

The menu displayed while searching for a match has been updated to better support players who want to stay in gameplay-focused activities while queued.

• “Freeplay” and “Challenges” now replace “Item Shop” and “Garage” in the Queue Menu. “Training” remains unchanged.
• “Freeplay”
  • Instantly loads Freeplay on your last selected map, no confirmation required.
• “Challenges”
  • Opens directly to the first tab of the Challenges menu, serving as a quick-access shortcut while queued.
    • “Claim” notifications won’t be displayed.
