However, an update coming later this year will add a \u201cVideo Quality\u201d feature allowing players to choose between emphasizing game quality or performance. Selecting Quality maintains the aforementioned visual\/performance specs. The Performance option bumps the game to 120 FPS with HDR but knocks the resolution down to 2688&#215;1512, or roughly 70% of full 4K.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><strong>Xbox Series S:<\/strong> 1080p resolution with HDR at 60 FPS at launch and will also receive the Video Quality feature. The Performance setting runs Rocket League at 120 FPS with HDR by&nbsp;dropping the resolution to 1344&#215;756 or 70% of full 1080p. Quality maintains the default resolution setting.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Rocket League is available now for Xbox Series X\/S and November 12 for PlayStation 5.
