Epic Games announces Unreal Engine 6 and selects Rocket League as its first title. A real-time trailer debuted during the Paris Major. The move upgrades Rocket League from its current two-decade-old UE3 engine. UE6 will likely power next-generation consoles, including Xbox Project Helix and possibly PlayStation 6, expected in 2027.

Unreal Engine 6 will power the next major version of Rocket League.

Epic Games revealed the new game engine during the Rocket League Paris Major event in France over the weekend. The company showed a one-minute trailer that it described as representing “the next era of Rocket League”.
According to the trailer, the footage shown is running in real-time in Unreal Engine 6.

The trailer footage runs in real time on Unreal Engine 6, marking the first public reference to the technology, which features an updated purple logo. No additional information about either UE6 or the refreshed Rocket League appeared at the event.

The current Rocket League has relied on the roughly 20-year-old Unreal Engine 3 throughout its lifespan. Epic launched Unreal Engine 5 four years ago; that version now drives numerous current titles including the studio’s own Fortnite.

The new engine is expected to support multiple projects aimed at the forthcoming console generation, some of which could launch as early as next year. Microsoft stated earlier in 2026 that its codenamed Project Helix platform will handle “Xbox and PC games” and reach developers in 2027.
Many fans of the vehicle sports title will likely welcome the news, since the current version runs on the two-decade-old UE3.

Sony has not confirmed any timetable for PlayStation 6.
