Combining all the best aspects of driving, soccer, and, well, rockets, Rocket League is one of the easiest games to get into that also has an incredibly high skill ceiling. Sure, the aim is just to put the ball in the goal, but the simple swap of kicking a ball to ramming it with jet-powered cars allows for a new level of strategy and tactics that make the game even more exciting. Being able to jump, boost, and flip through the air isn't quite rocket science, but can feel that way when starting off.

The speed flip is a tactic created in Rocket League that is one of the first steps in going from a novice player to an advanced one. It isn't super flashy, but a necessary move that should become second nature to anyone looking to take their game to the next level. It's a versatile move, useful in offensive and defensive situations, and well worth practicing until you can do it in your sleep. Before you get behind the wheel again, check out exactly how to pull off the speed flip in Rocket League.

How to speed flip in Rocket League

A speed flip is a movement tool that is the best way to not only gain speed, but also maintain momentum and reposition around the field much faster than simply boosting, doing a regular flip, and far faster than regular driving. However, it does require you to know how to do one other trick as well: the flip cancel. Here's how to pull it off.

Step 1: Once in a match, begin driving and make sure you have boost.

Step 2: Start by doing a flip cancel, which you begin by jumping.

Step 3: Once in the air, tap your left directional stick down to pull the nose of your car up.

Step 4: At the same time, hold the other directional stick directly up to make your car perform a front flip.

Step 5: As soon as you see your car begin to flip, pull and hold your left stick down again. This will cancel your flip animation, making your car remain facing forward throughout the duration of the "flip".

Step 6: The last component of the speed flip is the air roll.

Step 7: Doing all the above steps while holding down the air roll will result in your finished speed flip.

Want full Discord perks? Prepare to prove you’re an adult New teen-by-default rules start in March, gating age-restricted servers and stages.

If you’re used to hopping between gaming servers, sharing memes, or catching up with friends on Discord, be ready for a small twist in how the platform works. Starting March 2026, Discord will introduce a global age verification system that automatically places every user into a "teen-appropriate experience" until they prove they’re an adult. To fully unlock age-restricted content and certain features, users will need to verify their age via face-based AI estimation or a government-issued ID.

According to Discord’s official announcement, this change is part of a broader safety push to control access to adult or graphic material and comply with international safety expectations. But before you panic that Discord is turning into a DMV, it’s worth noting what changes and what stays the same, if you don’t verify right away.

Your next Xbox might not even be made by Microsoft A 2027 flagship plus partner-built devices could turn Xbox into a flexible, PC-style ecosystem.

The next generation of Xbox may not be just one console sitting under your TV. According to reports from Windows Central, Microsoft has locked in plans for a 2027 next-gen Xbox, but the bigger shift could be how it’s built and who builds it.

Instead of a single, fixed design, Microsoft is reportedly exploring a PC-style approach, where traditional partners (like ASUS and Lenovo) could release their own Xbox-branded hardware. Think of it as offerings in different sizes, power levels, and prices. One model might be compact or handheld, another a high-end performance beast, while Microsoft sets the platform rules and software layer. In other words, Xbox may start to look less like one console and more like an ecosystem.

Your next PlayStation could pack 30GB memory, if this PS6 rumor holds The same claim also points to a 24GB handheld, hinting at a shared game target.

A PlayStation 6 rumor is putting a surprisingly specific number on next-gen expectations. The claim from leaker KeplerL2 says Sony’s next console could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 memory, a jump designed to give modern games more room to breathe.

That same leak ties the console talk to a PlayStation handheld with 24GB, expected to use LPDDR5X instead of GDDR7. Two different devices, two different memory types, but a similar message, Sony may be aiming for fewer compromises when games scale across form factors.
