Rocket League patch adjusts hitboxes, lowers ESRB rating, more

The latest Rocket League patch is mostly about balance, with an unexpected bonus.

Psyonix has released a new patch for Rocket League that, among other things, reduced the game's ESRB rating from “E10+,” to “E”. This only affects parental control settings, however, but is amusing nonetheless.

The bulk of the changes has to do with balance, adjustments to ball-bounce behaviour, as well hitbox changes for various cars.

Find all notes below. Patch 1.16 is out now on PC and PlayStation 4.

Changes and updates:

General

Improved Hitboxes for multiple vehicles to more accurately represent their models; specifically…
Fixed Scarab and Grog's hitboxes, which were not long enough
Fixed Breakout and Hotshot's hitboxes, which were not wide enough
Fixed Batmobile and Breakout's hitboxes, which were abnormally long
Fixed Gizmo, Octane, Ripper, and Scarab's hitboxes, which were too tall
Fixed Dominus' hitbox, which was not long or tall enough
Repaired collision issues that resulted in incorrect ball-bounce behavior in some maps.
Additionally, the “Wasteland” Arena received collision improvements to eliminate inaccurate bounces
ESRB Rating has been lowered to “E” from “E10+” (this should just affect parental control settings)

Bug fixes

Fixed an exploit that allowed Battle-Cars to jump considerably higher than they were supposed to
