Rally your Squad, Parties now available for Ranked Blacktop Hoops!

You asked and we listened, the highly requested Blacktop Hoops Party System is now here! Join ranked matches with your squad, add friends (and rivals) to your in-game friends list, and use teamwork to grind ranked matchmaking 2vs2 up to 4vs4.

Here are a few other things we've added too:

⚡️"Play Ranked" and "Play Casual" buttons have been added to the main menu. Get into a game fast!

📄Post-game stats are back in Private rooms and Causal lobbies.

👥Improvements to the ranked matchmaking system pairings. To prevent players from waiting in an empty queue, matchmaking timeout is now 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, you're removed from the queue and can select more game modes so you don't spend a long time waiting.

There’s also plenty to be excited about in the future! Are you ready for our upcoming three-point shooting and other training modes? Get a behind-the-scenes look at some upcoming features (campaign mode anyone?) on our TikTok!
