Rocket League v1.40 update

Rocket League v1.40 update

Nintendo Switch has been added to the regular update schedule Rocket League. The first patch is also now live!

A month after the release is the first patch for Rocket League a reality. These updates are identical for each platform, with some specific solutions to improve for a specific platform.

Nintendo Switch gets some extra attention for bug fixes and improved performance. The update is 2,2GB big, but actually takes 1,2GB but more up on top of the game itself because many files are replaced.
