Rocket League Sideswipe season 3 is here with a new 3v3 mode and more

What you need to know

The popular Rocket League Sideswipe has a big new update for season 3.
The newly updated game now includes a 3v3 limited-time mode.
Game controller fixes, a new arena, and a spectator mode have all been added in this latest release.

A new limited-time mode literally changes the game for fans of the original title.

The hugely popular Rocket League Sideswipe has begun its third season on iPhone and iPad and it brings with it a whole new limited-time mode — Threes.

As that name might suggest, Threes allows people to play 3v3 games rather than the normal 2v2, something that has been a popular request among fans of the game.

Other improvements include a new arena, spectator mode, and more.

This new season and update isn’t all about new features, either. Developer Psyonix says that it has fixed a bug that caused some game controller users to find that their last button press was stuck plus a ton more. Those playing with touch controls are also going to be able to enjoy a new static joystick option, too.
