Psyonix released Rocket League version 2.79 on November 6, 2026, focusing on visual corrections for licensed collaboration items. The update is now live across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
This update primarily addresses cosmetic inaccuracies in the Mercedes-AMG and One Piece content sets, ensuring these items appear as intended by their respective designers.
Vehicle and Cosmetic Fixes
The core of the 2.79 update involves two high-profile collaborations. Players using the Mercedes-AMG G 63 or “One Piece” items will notice the following corrections:
- Mercedes-AMG G 63: Resolved an issue where the grille and emblem on the ‘G-Wagon’ appeared silver. These components have been updated to their intended black color.
- One Piece Collaboration: Fixed a bug affecting the Straw Hat Crew Boost and the One Piece Player Banner. Previously, these items displayed incorrect bounty amounts, which have now been adjusted to reflect the correct numerical data from the series.
These changes are purely cosmetic and do not impact the hitbox or performance of the Mercedes-AMG G 63. The bounty amount correction on the One Piece items is a data-driven fix to align the in-game assets with the official collaboration source material.
Context of Licensed Updates
The 2.79 update continues the developer’s pattern of refining licensed assets long after their initial release. While this patch focuses on recent partnerships, Psyonix has historically integrated diverse automotive icons into the game’s ecosystem, such as the 007’s Aston Martin DBS which was introduced in version 2.18. Maintaining the visual fidelity of these real-world vehicles and anime-themed items is a standard part of the game’s ongoing maintenance cycle.
Players should see these changes reflected immediately upon downloading the patch on their respective platforms. No gameplay balance adjustments or map changes were included in this specific version.
