Want to play Rocket League on mobile? The good news is that you can, but not the original console version. Instead, Psyonix offers Rocket League Sideswipe, a free-to-play mobile adaptation built specifically for iOS and Android. 

While it keeps the series' signature car football gameplay, Sideswipe features 2D matches, simplified controls, and shorter games designed for mobile devices.

Here's everything you need to know about getting Rocket League on mobile.

Can you play the original Rocket League on mobile?

No.

The full version of Rocket League is currently only available on:

• PC
• PlayStation
• Xbox
• Nintendo Switch

There is no official mobile port of the original 3D Rocket League. If you see websites claiming you can download the console version on Android or iPhone, they're not legitimate.

What is Rocket League Sideswipe?

Rocket League Sideswipe is the official mobile version of Rocket League developed by Psyonix.

Instead of full 3D arenas, Sideswipe features:

• 1v1 and 2v2 online matches
• Fast two-minute games
• Touch controls
• Controller support
• Ranked seasons
• Rocket Pass rewards
• Rotating modes like Hoops and Volleyball

Although the gameplay takes place on a 2D plane, it retains the same fast-paced, physics-based action that made Rocket League popular.

How to download Rocket League on Android

As of Season 17, Android players download Rocket League Sideswipe through the Epic Games Store instead of Google Play.

1. Download the Epic Games Store for Android.
2. Install the Epic Games Store.
3. Search for Rocket League Sideswipe.

How to download Rocket League on iPhone

The process depends on where you live.

• European Union: New players download Rocket League Sideswipe through the Epic Games Store for iOS (or another supported marketplace such as AltStore PAL).

If you are eligible, download it from the App Store.

Linking your account lets you:

Does Rocket League Sideswipe support controllers?

Yes.

Besides touchscreen controls, Rocket League Sideswipe also supports compatible Bluetooth controllers, making it feel much closer to the console experience.

Is Rocket League Sideswipe free?

Yes.

Rocket League Sideswipe is completely free-to-play on both Android and iOS. You don't need to purchase Rocket League on PC or console to enjoy the mobile version.
