How to enable cross-play in Rocket League

When Psyonix introduced cross-play to the game, they made sure that this setting was on by default, so there’s a good chance you’re already able to play with friends regardless of platform.

  1. Open Rocket League and go to the main menu.
  2. Scroll down to ‘Options.’
  3. Move to the ‘Gameplay’ tab.
  4. Look for the ‘Cross-Platform Play’ box and toggle it on.
