The next season of Rocket League is only a couple of hours away, going live today at 7 p.m. EST on all platforms. There’s a minor patch available that you need to download right away. While it isn't heavy on content, it prepares the game for the upcoming season.
Patch 2.26 brings some QoL features to matchmaking and squashes a handful of bugs and issues. An average wait time counter will now be displayed in the matchmaking search screen. The actual time will depend on the region, playlist, players’ rank, and more. More details about it are mentioned below.
Changes and Updates
Average Wait Time (Matchmaking)
- An “Average Wait Time” counter has been added to the matchmaking search screen
- Average Wait Time is based on the player population of the Regions and Playlists you select, and your Rank or skill level in those playlists
- Time is displayed in minutes and seconds
- Example: “Average Wait Time: 1:15”
- In the unlikely event that the wait time is longer than 10 minutes, the message changes to “Average Wait Time: > 10 Minutes”
- For brand new Game Modes, LTMs, or Playlists with no Rank or skill history, the Average Wait Time counter may be hidden for a short period of time.
- The Playlist Population meme generator indicator has been removed from the top-right corner of the Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes menus
