Rocket League Revealed in Unreal Engine 6

Epic Games developer Psyonix has published a sneak peek at an updated version of Rocket League running in Unreal Engine 6.

The new coat of paint for Rocket League was unveiled at the Rocket League Championship Series Paris Major. This update includes a reveal trailer showcasing the studio's beloved action sports game in Unreal Engine 6, along with a glimpse of Epic's new purple logo for the engine.

While the specific advantages of Unreal Engine 6 over its predecessor have not been detailed by Epic and Psyonix, the reveal trailer emphasizes the game's enhanced visuals. The footage confirms that all showcased content was rendered in real-time.

This reveal is significant as it marks the first time Epic has displayed a game running on Unreal Engine 6. In contrast, Unreal Engine 5 was introduced with a comprehensive tech demo, although no full game emerged from that showcase. Rocket League's transition to Unreal Engine 6 indicates tangible progress.

The release date for Unreal Engine 6 remains unknown, with further updates pending.
