Season 3 of Rocket League Sideswipe is live with new 3v3 and Spectator modes – TalkAndroid

After its second season brought Volleyball mode and casual games to the title, Rocket League Sideswipe’s third season is already upon us with the debut of 3v3 matches, a new Rocket Pass, and more. We’ve got all the details for you after the break.

Probably the most important new feature is Threes which adds the ability to play 3v3 and also brings the new Longfield Arena and offscreen indicators so you can keep tabs on your teammates.

Rocket Pass 3 adds three new cars (Marauder, Mantis, and Takumi) to the Sideswipe Roster while also updating the rewards with the Yoked1K Wheels for heavy lifters and the vicious Lv 50 Force Razor Goal Explosion. New Season 3 Challenges will help you fill your wallet and stock your garage.

You can also look forward to Spectator Mode which enables you to watch and analyze the gameplay in private matches, and it should prove a handy tool for content creators. Finally, there are rewards for your efforts in Season 2 with exclusive Banners based on your peak ranking.

Rocket League Sideswipe Season 3 is live and you can download or update the game via the Play Store link below. We’ve also included the full changelog for Season 3 afterward.
