Rocket League on UE6: what it changes, and what nobody promised.

§03 · Why Skip UE4 and UE5
From 2015 to 2028, in one jump.
Rocket League has run on Unreal Engine 3 since launch in 2015. Skipping UE4 and UE5 and migrating directly to UE6 is unusual; for many players the bigger questions are not graphical, but mechanical: will physics, hitboxes, input feel, BakkesMod compatibility, custom maps, and Steam workflows survive the engine jump?
Psyonix frames the migration as a multi-year project, not a near-term patch. Until they publish patch notes or a public test build, we treat Rocket League UE6 as a different game until proven otherwise.
§04 · Reveal Trailer
