The Rocket League patch v2.26 is now live. The new update prepares the title for Season 10, which is set to bring an extensive number of changes and new features to the game.

The new season will drop today, March 8, 2023, at 8:00 am PST/ 4:00 pm UTC. It is one of the more anticipated updates to make its way to the game this year.

One of the biggest highlights of patch v2.26 is the addition of the Average Wait Time counter, which will be displayed on the matchmaking search screen. The time displayed will be based on the player population of the Regions and Playlists that the player selected.

Additionally, there will be a fair bit of bug fixes and performance updates that will target some of the major issues in the game.

Rocket League fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up the game’s official website. However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.

1) Changes and Updates

Average Wait Time (Matchmaking)

  • An “Average Wait Time” counter has been added to the matchmaking search screen
  • Average Wait Time is based on the player population of the Regions and Playlists you select, and your Rank or skill level in those playlists

Time is displayed in minutes and seconds

  • Example: “Average Wait Time: 1:15”
  • In the unlikely event that the wait time is longer than 10 minutes, the message changes to “Average Wait Time: > 10 Minutes”

For brand-new Game Modes, LTMs, or Playlists with no Rank or skill history, the Average Wait Time counter may be hidden for a short period of time.

The Playlist Population meme generator indicator has been removed from the top-right corner of the Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes menus.


2) Bug Fixes

Fixed cosmetic bugs:

  • Huntress Decal for Dingo
  • Blockparty Decal on Painted Car Bodies
  • Titanium White Standard Boost
  • Animated Decals on painted variants of Hotshot Body

Other bugs

  • Fixed a bug causing Special Edition Infinite Yankii RL wheels to appear as normal Yankii RL wheels
  • [Xbox] Fixed a bug causing the first character to disappear when using the Xbox virtual keyboard to enter a team name
  • [PS] Unable to purchase credits after browsing contents for more than 10 minutes

Known Issues

  • When queuing for Casual 3v3 Standard for the first time after downloading today’s update, players might see an Average Wait Time of “> 10 Minutes” when matchmaking.
  • This is a visual error that will resolve if the player reboots the game.
