Is This Our First Glimpse of PS6? Rocket League for Unreal Engine 6 Surprise Teased
Psyonix announced an Unreal Engine 6-powered version of *Rocket League* at an esports event in Paris, showcasing improved visuals and a metaverse-style splash screen featuring *Fortnite* and *LEGO Fortnite*. The update hints at potential PS6 compatibility, as Epic previously used PS5 hardware to debut Unreal Engine 5, though it may also run on PS5 due to the engine’s scalability.
Psyonix revealed an updated *Rocket League* running on Unreal Engine 6 during an esports event in Paris. The trailer highlights significant visual improvements, including enhanced lighting, reflections on car models, and sharper grass details. A metaverse-style splash screen at the trailer’s end also features *Fortnite* and *LEGO Fortnite*, suggesting these titles may receive similar upgrades. Epic Games, which owns Psyonix, has early access to Unreal Engine 6, allowing *Rocket League* to showcase the engine’s capabilities before a potential full release. This update is not a sequel but the existing game optimized for UE6. The visuals suggest a next-gen leap, reminiscent of Epic’s 2020 PS5 demo of Unreal Engine 5, which preceded the console’s launch. Speculation arises whether this is a glimpse of PS6 technology, given the engine’s scalability and Epic’s history of using Sony hardware for demos. However, the update may also run on PS5. No official details about Unreal Engine 6’s features or *Rocket League*’s release timeline have been confirmed. The trailer ends with a splash screen blending *Rocket League* with *Fortnite* and *LEGO Fortnite*, reinforcing Epic’s cross-platform ambitions. Further updates will follow once Epic provides more technical insights or official announcements.
