Sideswipe first soft launched in Oceania on November 15th with a pre-season ahead of the launch of season one at an unconfirmed later date.
A league of its own
Each time players level up in Sideswipe they earn a ‘bonus win’ in Rocket League, which upon winning a match in Rocket League will grant the players with bonus experience points.
Bonus wins can also be earned by playing Rocket League and will provide additional experience points in Sideswipe.
Epic Games has partnered with electronic music label Monstercat to provide the music for Sideswipe and features singles from the chiptune pop/rock band Anamanaguchi.

Concerning the ongoing Apple versus Epic Games legal battle, in September, Apple refused Epic Games request to have its Fortnite developer account reinstated in South Korea following a change in local legislation.
