The immensely popular Rocket League just got hit with a brand new patch which has a few small fixes and new additions. It also boosts the performance of the game when certain graphical elements are changed. This brings the game version up to 1.39.
I’d love to jump into the game and try out the new patch, but I’m currently staying at an AirBNB with Internet from medieval times. It’s amazing I even got a decent enough connection for a few minutes to write this news post. I’m not going to even attempt trying to play a Rocket League match (or any online multiplayer match for that matter) while I’m here. That would be the equivalent of self-harm. But for those of you who actually has an Internet connection from the 21st-century, then hope you enjoy!
