Can I Run Rocket League?

Rocket League is an action indie game from Psyonix LLC, released in 2015. Psyonix LLC both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Completionists have 88 achievements to work through. Its Metacritic score stands at 86. With more than 435 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Steam lists support for 12 languages. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting.

Setting and environment

Rocket League structures its play around circuits and tracks. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments.

Why Rocket League is demanding

Rocket League is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 470 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Rocket League. Disk footprint is light, near 20 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Rocket League?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Rocket League targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce 760, AMD Radeon R7 270X, or better and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 470, or better for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.24x
1440pRuns well1.26x
4KBelow the bar0.56x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Rocket League's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
