A new sound cue adds to the gameplay experience, emitting a satisfying ping when players narrowly miss goals off the goalposts or crossbeam.

A variety of mutators have been introduced to modify game conditions in Exhibition Mode and private matches, with new additions and modifications to existing mutators from before Season 18. Players can dive into season-specific challenges and competitive matches, as well as participate in Season 18 tournaments, which offer their own unique rewards.

On the technical side, Season 18 adjusts the center of mass for several existing car bodies and refines the game's internal matchmaking processes within subregions. Numerous performance issues and bugs have been addressed, as detailed in the patch notes from Epic Games. To foster a safer and more sportsmanlike community, players can now utilize voice reporting to address toxic behavior post-match, in line with the game's community rules.
