Epic Games unveils Unreal Engine 6 in new Rocket League teaser

Epic Games has unveiled the first glimpse of Rocket League running on Unreal Engine 6 through a brief teaser video posted on YouTube. The roughly minute-long teaser featured the tagline ’new era, new engine’ alongside the Unreal Engine 6 logo, with developer Psyonix describing the moment as ‘What. A. Moment. The crowd reacts to the new era of Rocket League.’

The announcement marks a significant milestone for the competitive multiplayer vehicle soccer game, though details remain sparse. Epic Games and Psyonix have not yet disclosed a release date for the Unreal Engine 6 version, nor have they shared information about feature improvements, technical enhancements, or the timeline for the transition. The current stable build of Unreal Engine stands at version 5.7. Despite the teaser’s limited information, it represents the first official confirmation that Rocket League will migrate to the new engine generation. Further details are expected to be revealed in the coming months as the development team prepares for this significant upgrade.
