This isn't a real upgrade. I'd guess it's just running the games in backwards compatibility mode. The PS5 versions is literally the same as the PS4 Pro version (4k checkerboard 60fps). The Series S is running the game the same as a BASE PS4. The Xbox Series X is running the game the same as an XB1X (4k 60fps).
This is a rushed compatibility job, not a true nextgen version.
Dissapointing for ps5 and series s
This must be one hell of a visual update to only run 4K 60fps on rocket league.
How is this only 1080p/60 fps on Series S? I would hope that comes a visuals boost versus the 8th gen consoles.
