Is Rocket League cross-platform?

There are few games that embody "pure fun" quite like Rocket League. It's not a hard game to understand: You drive a car, you hit a massive ball into the opposing goal, and the first team to score the most points wins. It's that simplicity that makes Rocket League such an excellent game, though. No matter if you're deep into shooters like Apex Legends or someone who likes to take a load off with Stardew Valley, Rocket League has something for you. But does it let you share that fun by being a cross-platform game? Let's find out.
Is Rocket League cross-platform?
Yes, Rocket League supports cross-platform play across PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. No matter which platform you're on, you can team up with or against friends online. Like Call of Duty: Warzone, players from all platforms enter the same matchmaking queue, so when you're playing online, you'll likely be playing alongside users on other systems.

Unlike Call of Duty, though, you don't need an external account for crossplay. As long as you've updated your game since February 19, 2019, cross-platform play should already be enabled. All you need to do is start a match to play with other systems.

This PC strategy game is the perfect next step for Manor Lords fans

Hooded Horse, a PC video game publisher that rose to fame earlier this year for backing real-time strategy (RTS) game hit Manor Lords, will release another excellent game into early access next week. The game in question is Cataclismo, the latest effort from Moonlighter and The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story developer Digital Sun Games. It mixes real-time strategy and tower defense mechanics, and players have a lot of freedom in terms of how they build up the defense around their bases in order to ward off the "horrors" that attack them each night.

Although Cataclismo will still be in early access when it launches next week, fans of the RTS genre, base-building games, and tower defense titles will want to keep their eye on Hooded Horse's latest. With Manor Lords and Cataclismo, Hooded Horse is cementing itself as the PC game publisher to watch.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's second season was delayed just two days before launch, but now it's on its way. Developer Rocksteady announced many of the details for the big additions in a blog post on Wednesday, including how its new character, Mrs. Freeze, will work in-game when Season 2 arrives July 25.

Season 2 centers around Mrs. Freeze -- aka Victoria Fries. She's the daughter of the original Mr. Freeze, although this is an Elseworld variant like the Joker in Season 1. In the post, Rocksteady describes her as somebody stranded on a dying world," unwilling to leave her cryogenically frozen wife behind. But after being recruited by the Squad, she may have the chance to save her -- and unleash icy hell."
