When it comes to games that bring in a fresh take on known genres, Rocket League would be somewhere on the top of that list. However, with great power comes a lot of issues and bugs, and Rocket League still suffers from a fair share of them. We have compiled a list of the most common problems in the game, and have also included any workarounds when and if available.
The game came out on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and the PC in 2015 and has continued to dominate the ranks as one of the most fun titles to get into. But beware, as there are still quite a number of known issues plaguing the game.
