Rocket League’s recent transition to freeware has resulted in a huge increase in daily player numbers. New people are trying out the game, while others who previously purchased it on Steam are now enjoying free DLC packs and in-game goodies for their purchase after the transition. Either way, Rocket League looks set to reach new heights with its competitive gameplay style and quirky graphics.

If you’ve recently started playing Rocket League, you may have noticed that there’s no easy way to chat with your friends and teammates, especially if you’re using a controller. You get a set of pre-determined messages, but that’s about all the in-game text chat will do. This is why many people prefer voice chat in Rocket League, but finding the option to enable it is notoriously difficult. Let’s take a look at how to enable voice chat in Rocket League.

The default key for voice chat in Rocket League is "F". By holding down the F key, you can voice chat with your friends. Although you can hear your friends normally, you must hold the "F" button if you want to talk to them. Your audio will stop streaming to other players once you release the "F" key.
