Is Rocket League cross-platform?

There are few games that embody “pure fun” quite like Rocket League.

As long as you’ve enabled the setting, you can play with other platforms in public matchmaking, as well as private matches. If you want to play with your friends on other platforms, you can add them in the Friends menu like you would with players on the same
