After a lot of rumors and speculations, one of the most liked PC and console games, Rocket League has finally been released for mobile players, and it has been named Rocket League Sideswipe.
Psyonix, a game developing company originally owned by Epic Games, has finally made it happen and all the mobile gamers are nothing less than elated. It is finally possible that we can enjoy the intensity of the game on mobile devices. The game is completely the same with some notable changes.
But, the game came with a lot of bugs and glitches just like any regular game that is released. To solve the issues, the devs released an update patch that fixed quite a lot of the reported issues.

UPDATE THE GAME ROCKET LEAGUE SIDESWIPE

- Once you have done that, tap on the profile picture icon from the top-right corner.
- From the options available, scroll down a bit to find the game. Then you have to check if the game has any updates available or not.
- If there are updates available, it means that you have not updated to patch 1.0.3. Simply click on the Update button and wait for the game to be installed.
- Once the update and installation are complete, open the game and check if the problems persist.
