The sequel to 2008’s Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, developer and publisher Psyonix has announced that a PlayStation 4 beta for Rocket League is now live in North America and Europe.
With sign-ups available on their website in a first-come, first-serve basis, the beta is designed to focus on matchmaking and server performance. If you do get a code, the beta runs from 9am PT to 9pm PT, with an end date planned for early May.
For the beta, most final-game features are disabled, Season Mode and Car Customization are not included, and only one stadium is available for play.
Now ‘Feature Complete’ and scheduled for a Summer 2015 release on PS4 and PC, here’s the key features of Rocket League:
- New Season Mode – In the final version, players can enjoy an offline single-player or multiplayer experience with Season mode, bolstered by extensive vehicle customizations, unlockable items, multiple arenas, and more.
- Fully Upgraded Online, Local and Splitscreen Multiplayer Modes – Fans of the original will love the returning options for two- to four-player competition, from on-the-couch splitscreen competition to the robust online play.
- Team-Focused Gameplay – Rocket League’s team-oriented play compels gamers to learn short- and long-term tactics and strategies to stay in the game, challenge their friends, and stay atop the monthly leaderboards.
- Physics-Driven Vehicle Interactions – Built with rocket-equipped vehicles capable of aerial attacks, passes and shots, and physics-driven ball action, Rocket League is a wild, visceral sports-action experience.
- Content Overload – Rocket League builds upon its predecessor with a healthy array of completely new unlockable vehicles, arenas, more than 150 customization items, and other surprises.
- Dedicated Gameplay Servers – Super-smooth online gameplay guarantees an even better Rocket-Powered Battle-Car experience.
- Broadcast-Quality Replays – Gamers can play with, stylize, and create the ultimate replay of entire games with the new replay system. Fast forward, rewind, or view the action from anywhere in the arena!
