Best Rocket League Camera, Controller, and Game Settings

Rocket League is one of the most mechanically demanding sports games on the market, requiring the utmost precision with everything that you do on the field. While practice will always make perfect in a game like Rocket League, you might be handicapping yourself by not using the most optimal settings. If you use a certain controller layout or roll with specific camera settings, you could unintentionally be slowing down your progress as you continue to practice.

To avoid that mistake and ensure that you’re using the settings hand-picked by dozens of professional players around the world, check out our guide below. The guide encompasses every setting in Rocket League, from controller to graphics to camera settings.

Best Settings In Rocket League

There are three main settings menus that will affect your performance in Rocket League: camera, controller, and video. If you’re on console, then the graphics section doesn’t pertain to you nearly as much as it does to PC players, but there are still some settings you’ll want to change on PlayStation or Xbox.

Below, you can see the recommended settings for each menu:

Camera Settings

• Camera Shake: Off
• Field Of View: 110
• Distance: 270
• Height: 110
• Angle: -3.0
• Stiffness: 0.50
• Swivel Speed: 4.00
• Transition Speed: 1.0
• Demo Transition Time: 0.75
• Invert Swivel: Off

Your camera settings will mostly come down to personal preference in Rocket League, but the settings we have listed above are a terrific starting point. You can tweak the settings as you play, but the settings are perfectly fine the way they are if you want to never touch them again.

Professional players will change up some of the settings slightly, but for the most part, this is close to what you’ll see on every pro player’s settings video, Twitch commands, etc.

Controller Settings

• Steering Sensitivity: 1.10
• Aerial Sensitivity: 1.10
• Controller Deadzone: 0.15
• Dodge Deadzone: 0.60
• Controller Vibration: Disabled
• Vibration Intensity: Disabled
• Ball Camera Mode: Toggle

Controller settings will also be about personal preference, but less so than the camera settings. The biggest settings you want to pay attention to under the controller section in Rocket League are Steering and Aerial Sensitivity. Both of these play a huge role in your gameplay, and you don’t want your sensitivity on the ground or in the air too low or too high.

So, we have set both values at 1.10, which is just above the slowest sensitivity options for both settings. You can increase or even decrease the sensitivities if you want, but 1.10 is a solid foundation that will work for a majority of players.

Video Settings

• Resolution: 1920 x 1080 16:9 (or 2560 x 1440 if your monitor supports that resolution)
• Display Mode: Fullscreen
• Vertical Sync: Off
• Anti-Aliasing: Off
• Render Quality: High Quality
• Render Detail: Custom
• Frames per Second: Choose the number that matches your primary monitor’s refresh rate (60, 75, 144, etc.)
• Texture Detail: High Performance
• World Detail: Performance
• Particle Detail: Performance
• Effect Intensity: Low Intensity
• High Quality Shaders: Off
• Ambient Occlusion: Off
• Depth of Field: Off
• Bloom: Off
• Light Shafts: Off
• Lens Flares: Off
• Dynamic Shadows: Off
• Motion Blur: Off
• Weather Effects: Off

Basically, with the video settings in Rocket League, you want to turn everything down so you can achieve the highest frames per second possible. Unless you want your game to look as beautiful as possible, turning down the graphics will result in a higher FPS, which in turn, can give you an edge when playing against an opponent.

Speaking of FPS, though, you want to lock your Frames per Second to your monitor’s refresh rate. If you go beyond your monitor’s refresh rate, you’ll lose performance but gain no extra benefit, as your monitor can only display frames at its highest refresh rate.

That does it for all of the best settings you can use in Rocket League. If you’re interested in checking out the other hot soccer game on the market, Rematch, we also published a guide going over the best settings in that game as well.
