1. Make sure to follow the Rocket League Twitter handle to know more about all the latest announcements, info, server status, player reports, patch updates, and more.
2. You can also head over to the Down Detector website to check out the real-time server status.
3. Alternatively, you can directly check out the real-time Xbox Server Status and PlayStation Network Service Status if you’re a console user.
4. However, if none of the steps come in handy for you or if there is no server downtime or maintenance process is ongoing for the Rocket League then make sure to check out your internet connectivity as well. Try either simply restarting your gaming device as well as the Wi-Fi router or you can also power cycle your console/router to clear the temporary glitch/cache (if any).
5. For the Windows PC users, try updating the Epic Games launcher as well as the Rocket League game to its latest version (if any update is available).
6. Additionally, PC users can also whitelist the Epic Games Launcher and the installed Rocket League game folder to the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender application. (If you’re using any third-party antivirus app, do the same)
