The game will launch for free later this year

Rocket League developer Psyonix has announced a new mobile game, titled Rocket League Sideswipe.

The developer announced the mobile game via its official website on Wednesday, March 24. Per its announcement, the game will be available for free on iOS and Android devices sometime this year, although a firm release date has not been announced.

The game will take the “core, competitive gameplay of Rocket League” and reworks it for a mobile platform. The gameplay will see players take part in 1v1 or 2v2 matches. Each match will only last two minutes.

The game will also feature advanced mechanics for those who wish to partake in Competitive Ranks. An online ranking system for competitive play will also be included. Players will also be able to customise their cars.

Psyonix also confirmed that players in Australia and New Zealand can now enjoy a limited-time regional Alpha test on Android devices via the Google Play Store. Future beta tests for other regions are currently being planned.
