Rocket League Sideswipe coming 2021; Australian alpha starts today

With an alpha test available in Australia from today.

Rocket League Sideswipe is a free-to-play mobile game heading to iOS and Android later this year, developer Psyonix has today declared. Better yet, players in Australia and New Zealand can try it out today on Android as part of a limited alpha test.

Rocket League Sideswipe brings the competitive, car soccer gameplay of Rocket League to mobile screens with a new perspective on the field,” Psyonix said in a press release.

“Players will compete in fast-paced, 2 minute, 1v1 or 2v2 matches. With intuitive touchscreen controls that make it easy to pick up and play, longtime Rocket League players and newcomers alike will be able to immediately jump into the action-packed fun of car soccer,” the release continued.

You can take a look at a couple Sideswipe screenshots below. If you’re in Australia and New Zealand and want to give the Android alpha a go, head here.

An exact full retail release date hasn’t been detailed as yet, but Psyonix said to expect Rocket League Sideswipe later in 2021.
