Cross-platform parties in Rocket League were promised last month, and the new Friends Update V1.58 adds the feature.

In January, Rocket League became the second PS4 cross-play title in the PlayStation Cross-Play Beta program and, as Competitive Season 10 kicks off, the game's begun allowing more than just matchmaking between players on different consoles.

Using an auto-generated RocketID, players can search for and add their friends to Parties and Clubs, as well as viewing a list of 25 recent players met online.

You can check out the update's highlights below, and the full patch notes on the official website.

Sony finally succumbed to requests for cross-platform play after backlash from Fortnite players, but Rocket League developer Psyonix was ready for the feature a whole year ago.
