After a huge wait time and an abrupt delay; Rocket League Friends List is going to finally be added. In fact, cross-play supporters can celebrate because this feature will be coming in February 19. As such, players will be able to interact with owners of the Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and PC versions of the game. The whole community can finally unite!
After the update, every player will be auto-assigned a RocketID. The ID consists of the player’s username followed by four randomly-generated numbers. The 4 randomly-generated numbers cannot be changed. However, the username portion of the name can be changed at any point in time.
Rocket League Friends List To be Added in February 19
The Friends Update will be making its debut in Rocket League on February 19. This feature will make Cross-platform parties a reality. As such, players will be able to partner up with anyone regardless of the platform they’re playing the game in. This will be done thanks to the RocketID system that Psyonix has implemented.
The RocketID system will be used to help other features that will come in the Friends List. The Friends List is split into four tabs: Friends, RocketID, Recent Players, and Alerts. In addition, the Friends Tab allows players to see who is online and playing on the current platform. The RocketID tab will help users check out who is online on all the platforms.
The Recent Players tab conveniently shows players they were recently matched up with or against. As such, anyone can easily send their favorite teammates a Friend Request, even if they are on a different platform. Finally, the Alerts tab will show all the interactions the user had with other players including: Friend Requests, Party Invites, and Club Invites.
To summarize, the trailer below showcases the aforementioned functions:
