A mere 13 days after patch 2.46, Psyonix is back with yet another Rocket League update, 2.47. Compared to 2.46, this one is quite stripped back, and primarily focuses on performance improvements and bug fixes.
One notable change is the complete removal of the snowy variant of Beckwith Park from the rotation. Apparently, that’s down to visibility issues, but it will return at a later date.
Another is ongoing work on the Xbox Series X/S version of the game. Apparently, you will see more consistent FPS and the video quality settings are back. 120 FPS, sadly, isn’t though.
Rocket League Patch Notes v2.47 Highlights
The highlights of this update include the removal of Beckwith Park (Snowy) from the arena rotation, and Xbox Series X/S performance improvements
Beckwith Park was, according to Psyonix, facing visibility issues. It was probably down to that pesky snow. It’s sad to lose a snowy track at this time of year, but it will return.
As for the Xbox updates, we should see more consistent FPS now, as well as the return of the video quality settings. Sadly, this doesn’t signal the return of 120 FPS mode, though that is definitely coming.
