Rocket League Patch 1.03 Goes Live, Punishes Quitters in Ranked Play

Psyonix’s patch 1.03 for Rocket League is now available and adds some new functionality to the racing/sports title.

The most important new addition comes in the form of punishments for players who quit during Ranked games. Doing so will now ban you from matchmaking for 15 minutes because AI doesn’t replace your friends and can cause much heart-ache when the teams are lopsided. Quick Chat has also been expanded and now has cross platform support for PC and PS4.

The usual crash scenarios have also been fixed and the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the main menu won’t indicate an offline status any more.
