Psyonix unveils new Rocket League Spring dev road map, Tournament Mode now due April latest

Psyonix has unveiled its Spring 2018 development road map for Rocket League, outlining expected release dates for some highly anticipated new features - including Tournament Mode and much-requested visual improvements for the Switch version of the game.

Top of the pile of new features is Tournament Mode, which Psyonix has pegged for release in either March or April. A Tournament Mode was first touted back in September last year, when the developer explained that it was "something we've wanted for Rocket League since our launch in July 2015". In-game Tournaments, it said, would allow players, "from Rookie to Rocketeer", to take part in competitions without ever needing to leave the game client.

Tournament Mode was initially expected to go into beta by the end of last year, but Psyonix has now confirmed that public beta testing will begin on Steam in February. The full mode is due to arrive in Psyonix's planned Spring Feature Update, in March or April, and will enable play "against other players in bracketed, single elimination tournaments".
