Rocket League Private Match not working has been plaguing the game since the free-to-play update, but a simple fix should remedy the issue.

Rocket League finally went free to play with Wednesday's update. The new era of Rocket League provides bonus cosmetics for longtime players, along with potentially bringing in a slew of new ones. New events have already started, like this weekend's Llama-Rama Fortnite collab that will allow players to unlock the Battle Bus for use in Rocket League.

Of course, the new update hasn't come without its own batch of bugs and problems. Many players are encountering a new "Call Limit Reached" error. Other players are having problems getting Private Matches to work, but we've found a potential fix.

Rocket League Private Match Not Working: How to Fix

First of all, be mindful of Rocket League's server status if you're having problems getting Private Matches to work. Make sure other modes aren't also down and that your connection is stable.

If everything seems to be in order but Private Matches don't work try out the fix suggested by u/eman4ever in their thread about the issue. For those who are having a black screen when creating a private match, simply create it again with the same name. If that does not work add a 1 or another letter and if it goes black screen create it again with the same name and it should work the second time." Users in the thread have found this method to work.
