One of the greatest parts of Rocket League is how it allows players to create custom maps for training and recreation. However, not every player may know how to download and play on these custom maps. This guide will teach players where they can find custom maps and modes and how they can download and play on them. There are some limitations as to which custom maps can be played depending on the platform that is being used, but every version of Rocket League has some semblance of custom maps.
Custom maps in Rocket League can range from a simple training course on the default field all the way to a fully functioning version of Among Us on the Skeld map. Not every version of Rocket League has the capability to play the more extravagant maps. Even the differing PC versions have different limitations depending on which store they were purchased. Regardless, this guide will show players how they can play on custom maps on whichever platform they use.
How To Play On Custom Maps In Rocket League
First things first, if the player is playing Rocket League on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, or Epic Games Store PC version, they will not be able to download the more elaborate custom maps such as flying courses, themed pitches, and maps built from scratch. They will only be able to download and play on the custom training courses and custom game modes. These can be accessed by selecting play>training>custom. Here, players can select from multiple lists of modes or input a code to find a specific mode. Players can also save modes they like for later by adding them to their favorites.
Players who own a copy of the Steam version of Rocket League for the PC will be able to download and play on custom maps, but the Steam version is no longer for sale. This means that, until Epic Games issues an update, only those who purchased Rocket League on Steam before it went free-to-play can play custom maps. If the player is one of those lucky few, they can download custom maps from the Steam Workshop which allows creators to upload their custom maps directly to Steam. Downloading them from the Steam app also installs them directly to the game removing the need for workaround installs.
Rocket League is free-to-play on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
