Rocket Rush Adds Type Royale: A 100-Pilot Typing Battle Royale Mode
Rocket Rush has received a major content update introducing Type Royale, a typing-powered Battle Royale mode in which players race to climb higher by typing faster, while errors damage and slow their ship.
What changed
Type Royale mode is now live, drawing text from NASA missions, space facts, lunar transmissions, and a story collection called Ashlee's adventures. Text is revealed sentence by sentence as players advance.
The Type Royale Hub offers Solo Practice, Quick Match, Host Friends, and dedicated leaderboards. Quick Match seeks real pilots first, then fills the 100-pilot field with bots after 60 seconds.
Live match feedback includes rival tracking, placement and overtake readouts, character-gap displays, rocket ascent animation, visible ship damage, and a scrolling space-flight background.
Separate Keyboard and Controller Letterboard divisions have been added for leaderboard fairness, with dedicated Steam leaderboards for each input type.
Scoring behavior updated: Steam only synchronizes a result when it beats an all-time personal best; lower attempts remain in local history without overwriting the Steam record. Endurance mode also changes — explosions and timeouts now bank progress rather than invalidating a run.
Audio and visual additions include rocket engine sounds, speed-responsive audio, damage alerts, explosions, and the full gameplay music playlist.
Split-screen and controller support has been improved for two-player configurations across Xbox, PlayStation, mixed controllers, and keyboard-and-controller combinations.
Steam achievement support has been added and expanded.
For players invested in leaderboard standings, the personal-best synchronization model means only peak performances reach Steam — a design choice that keeps rankings clean while preserving the full local history of every attempt.
