Rocket League cover

Why Rocket League is rated “Should work”

Valve rates Rocket League “Verified” on Steam Deck, which usually means it starts without special settings. That is the main reason it is rated “Should work” here.

It uses DirectX 11, which Sommelier translates to Metal with its own graphics layer. That works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Online play uses Easy Anti-Cheat, and on a Mac it does not let you in. Play offline and you are fine.
