Rocket League

Hardware and network requirements for playing Rocket League in Valor lessons, on Windows PC and on console.

What students need (Windows PC)

Source: Rocket League system requirements on the Epic Games Store. The store listing still names Windows 7 or newer; use a currently supported Windows 10 or 11 64-bit release. Buy to the recommended tier or better - the published 4 GB minimum is the game's floor, not a school purchase target. Valor suggests 16 GB RAM on shared school PCs.

Install, accounts and anti-cheat

• Install through the Epic Games Launcher. An existing Steam installation also works but needs Steam connectivity as well as the game's own services.
• Students need an Epic Games account with access to Rocket League.
• Easy Anti-Cheat has been required for all online PC play since 28 April 2026, including private matches and tournaments. Keep it enabled and ask IT to approve the current components: publisher announcement and Epic Support.
• Turning Easy Anti-Cheat off is an offline/training/LAN option only, not a fix for online lessons. Mods may not run while it is enabled.

Network requirements

Ports and protocols

• TCP 80, 443, 5222
• TCP and UDP 3478, 3479, 5060, 5062, 6250, 7000-9000, 12000-65000
• UDP 9000-9100

These are broad ranges. Scope and test them rather than forwarding them inbound. Plan for 8 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload per player.

Game server names

• rocketleague.com, rl-cdn.psyonix.com, psyonix.com, datahound.com, c.evidon.com, psy.net, rl-psy.net, config.psynet.gg

No complete public list of match server addresses is published, so live match traffic still needs testing on the school network.

• Published by Epic as the domains to allow on restricted networks. Allow anti-cheat and live match traffic separately and approve it with IT.

Xbox and Nintendo Switch

• Console sign-in, updates and multiplayer need to be tested separately. Rocket League PC rules do not cover them.
• Switch: use the Nintendo network requirements and record the console's NAT type.
• Xbox: ask IT to record the current Xbox platform port guidance, then test the console in the mode you plan to use.

Before your first lesson

• With all classroom devices active: sign in, start an online private match, play several matches, and test any cross-platform pairing and approved voice.
• Repeat on a fresh student session after a reboot. A successful training or free-play session alone does not prove online play works.
