If you’ve ever switched between playing Rocket League on your console at a friend’s house and your PC after getting home, you’ve probably wondered: does Rocket League have cross progression? There’s nothing more frustrating than grinding for a rare goal explosion, limited edition decal, or high competitive rank on one device, only to start completely from scratch when you log in on another. We’ve tested the feature across every major platform, and we’re breaking down exactly how it works, what’s included, and how to make sure you never lose your hard-earned progress again.
Does Rocket League Have Cross Progression for All Platforms?
Cross progression was fully rolled out for all Rocket League players in late 2020, shortly after Epic Games acquired developer Psyonix. Before that update, players were stuck with separate inventories, ranks, and progress for every platform they played on, which was a huge pain point for anyone who owned multiple devices. I remember back in 2019 when I had separate accounts on my PS4 and Steam, I wasted 2000 credits on a duplicate Octane decal because I forgot I already bought it on the other platform. Those days are long gone now, as long as you link your accounts properly.
All official Rocket League platforms support cross progression as of 2024, with no exceptions for first-party consoles. The list of supported platforms includes PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (both Epic Games Store and Steam). The feature uses a central Epic Games account as the hub for all your progress, so every platform you link to that Epic account will share the same data. You don’t need to own a copy of the game on multiple platforms to use the feature either, it works even if you only play on two devices occasionally.
Cross progression works independently of cross play, too. That means you can turn off cross play if you only want to match with players on your same platform, and still keep your progress synced across all your devices. You also don’t need an active online subscription for every platform you play on, just the one you’re using at the time to access online modes.
What Rocket League Progress Carries Over Across Platforms?
Most of your Rocket League account data will sync across all linked platforms with cross progression enabled, but there are a small number of exceptions. We’ve tested the sync across PC, Switch, and Xbox to confirm exactly what transfers and what stays locked to a single platform. The items and progress that always carry over include:
- Your entire item inventory, including limited-time event skins, decals, goal explosions, wheels, and rocket boosts
- Your competitive rank across all playlists, plus your MMR for casual and tournament modes
- All earned credits, esports tokens, and leftover event currency from past in-game events
- Your player level, challenge progress, and battle pass progression (including paid battle pass rewards)
The only things that don’t carry over are platform-exclusive promotional items that were released as part of console-specific partnerships. For example, the PSN-exclusive Kratos decal, Nintendo Switch-exclusive Mario and Luigi car skins, and old Xbox Game Pass exclusive toppers will stay locked to the platform you earned them on. Platform-exclusive promotional items will stay locked to the platform you earned them on, even with cross progression enabled. You can still use these items when you log in on the original platform, you just won’t see them in your inventory on other devices.
Any platform-specific subscriptions or perks also don’t transfer. For example, if you get monthly Rocket League credits as part of your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, those credits will be added to your shared account, but the subscription itself won’t apply to your PlayStation or Switch accounts. You only get the perks for the platform you have the active subscription on.
How to Set Up Cross Progression for Your Rocket League Account
Setting up cross progression only takes a few minutes, and it’s completely free for all players. First, you’ll need a free Epic Games account if you don’t already have one. If you started playing Rocket League after the 2020 free to play launch, you probably already have one linked to your platform account. If you played before the free to play update, you’ll need to create an Epic account and link your existing platform account to it to keep your old progress.
You don't need to pay anything to enable cross progression, as the feature is completely free for all Rocket League players. Once you have your Epic account ready, go to the connections page in your Epic account settings, and link all the platform accounts you use to play Rocket League. You’ll be asked to select a primary account, which is the account whose progress will be used across all platforms. Make sure you pick the correct primary account before merging, because you can't undo a merge once it's complete.
I helped my little cousin set this up last month, and he almost picked his low-level Switch alt account as the primary before we double checked his Xbox account, which had a level 200 profile and hundreds of rare items. Take 10 minutes to log into each of your platform accounts first to confirm which one has the progress you want to keep, before you start the linking process. Once all accounts are linked, just launch Rocket League on any platform, log in with your Epic account details, and your progress will sync automatically.
Common Cross Progression Issues and How to Fix Them
Cross progression is mostly seamless, but there are a few small issues that pop up for players every now and then. The most common problem is missing items right after linking your accounts. If you have a large inventory with thousands of items, it can take up to 30 minutes for all your stuff to sync over to a new platform. If it’s been more than 24 hours and you still don’t see your items, you can submit a support ticket to Psyonix, but 90% of the time a quick restart of the game fixes the issue.
Another common issue is your competitive rank not showing up on a new platform. That usually happens if you haven’t played a single match on that platform yet. Play one quick casual or competitive match, and your rank and MMR will update automatically to match your primary account progress. Never log into multiple platforms with the same Rocket League account at the same time, as this can cause sync errors or even temporary account locks. Always close the game on one device before you launch it on another to avoid this problem.
If you accidentally unlink a platform account from your Epic hub, you will lose access to any progress you made on that platform after linking, unless you re-link it within a 30 day window. After that 30 day window, any unlinked account progress is permanently separated from your main Epic account, so don’t unlink accounts unless you absolutely have to. If you run into a sync issue you can’t fix on your own, Psyonix’s support team usually responds to cross progression tickets within 2 business days.
At the end of the day, if you were asking does Rocket League have cross progression, the answer is a resounding yes, and it’s one of the best quality of life features Psyonix has added to the game in recent years. As long as you take the time to link your accounts correctly and double check your primary account before merging, you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off no matter what device you’re playing on. You don’t have to worry about wasting credits on duplicate items or re-grinding ranks ever again, which leaves you more time to focus on scoring those sick aerial goals and climbing the competitive ladder.
