Psyonix has today confirmed next-gen details for its ultra-popular free-to-play "soccar" sports game Rocket League, including the news that it will be getting a 120 frames per-second mode later this year.
At launch, Rocket League will run at 4K, 60FPS on Xbox Series X and 1080p, 60FPS on Xbox Series S, along with significantly faster load times and improved splitscreen performance on both consoles.
Following a game update later this year, however, a new "Video Quality" setting will allow for that 120 frames per-second mode on the two next-gen systems (and curiously not on PS5). Xbox Series X will run this at 2688x1512 resolution (70% of full 4K), while Xbox Series S will drop the resolution to 1344x756 (70% of Full 1080p).
No further details have been provided for now, but Psyonix says to "stay tuned" for the exact timing of the update.
Excited to try out Rocket League at 120FPS on Xbox Series X|S? Let us know down below.

Typo: "Xbox Series X will run this at 2688x1512 resolution (70% of full 4K), while Xbox Series X will drop the resolution to 1344x756 (70% of Full 1080p)."
It's a dumb naming scheme.
@hallower1980 Thanks!

It really is, I was baffled as I read it, how can they call it video quality when the video quality is lower? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻
I suggest 'Frame rate' mode or even simpler '120fps' mode.
Star Wars Squadrons run at native 4K120fps on Series X tho.
Ps5 not even mentioned to get a 120fps compatability, If the series S can run 120fps then the ps5 can easily, pretty obvious Microsoft are waving their money around in the shadows, anything to get a hand over sony this gen, same with squadrons aswell
@UltimateOtaku91 umm no I don’t think so. They’d advertise it as such. Like with Tetris Effect Connected or Yakuza. They haven’t made a big deal about this at all. What benefit does it do for them not to advertise it? Anyway, it didn’t sound like the performance mode wasn’t going to PS5; they just didn’t have details on it yet. This reminds me of the AC:Valhalla kerfuffle where everyone thought it wasn’t 4k60 on the PS5 just because they hadn’t announced it yet.
shrugs what the point of getting upset til you at least 100% know.
Why not make it dynamic 4K & dynamic 1080p... At least it sounds better on paper
@FraserG Could we get an article with upcoming Series-enhanced games in order to avoid playing them until then? 😁
