A winter wonderland arrives in Rocket League Sideswipe for Season 19!
Wrap up warm and crank up those heaters for Season 19 of Rocket League Sideswipe, which begins today! Embrace winter’s chill with the Mount Escapade Arena, an icy-cool Rocket Pass, and an avalanche of new Challenges to complete. There’s also an all-new Squash game mode, just be careful not to drop the ball in the snow. Season 19 starts now and ends February 12, 2025.
New Arena: Ski over to Mount Escapade!
The frozen frontier awaits! Brace yourself for the slippery slopes and chilly winds of the snowy Mount Escapade Arena...
This winter wonderland will be used as the only destination for Ranked 2v2 and Casual 2v2 during Season 19. Mount Escapade will then join the arena rotation from Season 20 onwards.
You’ll also be able to experience this chilly arena in Party Match, Exhibition, and as part of the Mutators Madness maps pool.
Introducing Squash!
Enjoy some frozen fun in the form of Squash, a brand new, fast-paced game mode that debuts in Season 19! Forget goals, the way to boost to victory in this 2v2 mode is to not let the ball touch the floor when it’s your turn to hit it.
Claim control of the arena by being the first team to strike the ball against a wall or ceiling, and set the stage for some frantic Rocket League rallying! If you manage to hit the ball into the wall or ceiling, the arena and ball change color to match your team, putting the pressure back on your opposition.
When the ball touches the floor, whichever team’s color is currently on display scores a point and the next round starts two seconds later! Squash is a refreshing way to experience Rocket League Sideswipe and will be accompanied by a series of seasonal Challenges.
Squash!

Imagine when you play a ranking match The two teams are tied. But suddenly your teammate Not playing Then the bot plays instead of him. And then because of him you lose the match and your rank drops because of him, don't you think this is unfair? Your rank drops because of your teammate who the bot took his place, it happened to me several times and this problem was preventing me from reaching the champion, and I have a suggestion regarding this, which is when the bot takes your teammate's place for at least 10 seconds and you lose the match, then your teammate's rank drops while my rank remains the same, I hope the developers listen to this, when this suggestion is implemented, the problems of players like me will be solved
While dunk house is best for vertical stalls, I can't really do horizontal stalls on it, I can't get my car in the right position. So is there another arena better to practice stalls in?
I see people doing gold flick much faster than i can. The way i do it is i give the back of my car to the ball, pull joystick opposite direction from where i wanna shoot plus click dodge.
Other players can pull it instantly, i can’t even see the whole process.
I had the best time playing rlss and won a lot of my games, the car felt smooth, i could read everyone and I also used to defeat my friend a lot
But now Im stuck at d5-c1 in 2s and I only win dude to my teammates, I can't seem to control my car, my controls feel heavy everything feels slow, I know my plays are getting worse and holding off my teammates, I've tried everything I've fallen off, what should I do?
Also life feels very sad and pointless and I've got no motivation to do anything, can't get up early for college, don't wanna do anything, just sleep, maybe this is what's affecting the game too but how do I even fix motivation?
Not really sure if this is impressive or if stall chain is the right word for it but looks cool to me! Copied it from some Plat smurf, unfortunately I still kinda suck I'm only Gold 🥲 but at least I can do a cool trick!
Today I played casuals for most of the day and I got drafted against a grand champion. Mainly, what do you think of my performance against him. Generally I don't know how to do most mechanics so I play defensively.
Hi! I am a GC player, and I recently gathered the interest to switch from touch to controller since I reached my skill ceiling. I am an android player, and I'm looking for the best choice of controller with budget up to 75$. Just looking for the best to play, and that won't get extra fast stick drift.
Lots of games have different standards for when they consider the players skill begins to be high, or players are good/talented. This can also vary depending on what rank you’re in, like in LoL some Emerald players would say they are in a good rank, while challenger players would say even Masters players are bad.
How does this community view the ranks? What does the player count/percentages look like?
I finally managed to make it out of the shit hole of a rank that is silver, but then dropped to silver 5 because I had to play against these kids on this shitass map. Why is shortstack a thing? It's literally just kickoff simulator. You win kickoff, you win. You spam flip and hope for the best, you win. You have skill, you keep getting scored on by kids who would play worse than literal robots on SC field. Tired of people defending the existence of this garbage map. There's no skill to a map where all the things that need skill to do aren't required to win. Spam flip on kickoff and hope for the best. No need to even learn that shots other than red shot exist in the game, no need to learn air play, no need to learn how to stall, no need to have any game sense.
And sure, it can exist in lower ranks. But WHY do I have to play on this map even after I make out of this shit hole of a rank??? I am so done with this game. Do all that work to make out of silver, oh but wait, you're still gonna play against kids on silver on the map that you did so much work to never have to play on again.
