"Rocket League's" Xbox One version was announced in December 2015 during The Game Awards. The Xbox One version of the game will have the same features, content, and upgrades as can be found in "Rocket League's" PC version.
In addition, Xbox One players will have a chance to play with two exclusive Battle-Cars. These are the "Halo HogSticker" and the "Gears of War Armadillo." The former is an alternate version of "Halo's" Warthog, while the latter is inspired by "Gears of War" Armored Personnel Carrier of the same name. Xbox One players will also receive exclusive "Sunset Overdrive"-themed items like a Fizzie antenna and an Overcharge rocket boost.
Despite these exclusive additions, "Rocket League" Xbox One version will not have cross-platform play. This feature is supported by the game's PlayStation 4 and PC versions. Xbox One owners will be limited to playing with other Xbox One players only.
Psyonix had explained the reason for this earlier. The developer said the lack of cross-platform play support in the game is a "general practice" for all titles in the Xbox platform.
"Rocket League's" Xbox One version will be bundled with the Supersonic Fury, Chaos Run, and Revenge of the Battle-Cars expansion packs.
