Short answer: yes. Rocket League Sideswipe has multiplayer on mobile, and it is the reason most couples install it in the first place. Here is what playing together actually looks like, and what to expect before you both download it.
What kind of multiplayer Rocket League Sideswipe has
Rocket League Sideswipe is a racing game, and it is best played as a running best-of series. Rocket League Sideswipe brings the car-soccer chaos of Rocket League to mobile in fast two-minute matches. It is a brilliant couple game โ team up in 2v2 or duel 1v1, flipping and boosting to smack the ball into the net.
Sessions run online, which is the part that matters for couples who are not always in the same place โ same game, two phones, wherever you both happen to be.
Playing it as two people
A lot of mobile multiplayer is built for big lobbies and reads as lonely with only two of you. Rocket League Sideswipe holds up better than most, for three reasons:
- Race each other or team up in quick, exciting matches.
- Short rounds are perfect for a playful showdown.
- A friendly rivalry that always ends in a rematch.
In other words it is worth the second download, which is not true of every multiplayer game on the store.
Getting into a session together
- Install Rocket League Sideswipe on both phones.
- Add each other as friends or join a private race.
- Line up and race head-to-head.
- Agree roughly when you will play โ the games that stick are the ones with a slot, not the ones you both mean to open.
Rocket League Sideswipe is on both the App Store and Google Play, so it does not matter which of you is on iPhone and which is on Android.
If Rocket League Sideswipe is not the right fit
Multiplayer is not one thing, and a game that suits a full friend group can feel thin with two. If that is where you land, these are the closest alternatives in the same space:
- Mario Kart Tour โ Mario Kart Tour puts the beloved kart racer on mobile with familiar characters, courses and plenty of item-throwing mayhem.
- Asphalt 9: Legends โ Asphalt 9: Legends is a stunning arcade racer packed with supercars, nitro boosts and dramatic stunts.
- KartRider Rush+ โ KartRider Rush+ is a free, cute kart racer built around satisfying drifting and lots of modes.
