Rocket League 1.63 Update Patch Notes

The Rocket League 1.63 update is now live for PS4, Xbox One, and PC players. However, don’t expect Psyonix to go and re-invent the wheel. This is very much a stopgap update focused on tweaking a few issues and ensuring the game is running as smoothly as possible with a summer event on the horizon. With that being said, there are still a handful of important changes you need to be made aware of, so we’ll go through them below and then send the Rocket League 1.63 update patch notes your way.

Rocket League 1.63 Update Patch Notes

New Antennae

Three antennae are coming to Rocket League, courtesy of the Monstercast mash-up. They are: Julian Calor, Snavs, and the wonderfully-named Xilent.

DeLorean changes

The hitbox of the DeLorean, the Back to the Future DLC car, has changed. While that doesn’t mean much to many, the shift from a Octane hitbox to a Dominus one, especially as they are similar in stature, but it might just get the edge as it’s what the pros tend to favor.

Friends List changes

The Friends List now has a feature that, honestly, should have been in from the very start. You can now block players via the in-game Friends List as well as, of course, unblocking them if you so require. This will mean you’ll stop receiving notifications and invites from them in Rocket League, and they won’t be able to tell if you’re online. However, this won’t block them from your respective platform’s friend list; you’ll have to do that yourself.

Trading exploit fix

Some pesky players were (somehow) being able to display Customization items which were non-certified as certified items. This, of course, led to some feeling massively short-changed by deals. Thankfully, Psyonix has buffed that one out, so you should be safe in the knowledge that, when it comes to trades, what you see is what you get.
