Bot Launcher Setup guide

Play Rocket League against CP Bot.

A small Windows app that starts an offline match in a few clicks. Play against CP Bot, or sit back and watch it play other bots.

Download for Windows

BotLauncher.exe, about 13 MB. One file, no installer.
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.

The Bot Launcher window: a Bots pool, a Blue team with Human, an Orange team with CP Bot, match settings and a green Launch button.

Pick who plays

Matches are offline and local, run through RLBot.

Set up in three steps

  1. Download and open it

    Get BotLauncher.exe and double-click it. It isn't code-signed yet, so your PC may ask you to confirm:

    • Windows SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway.
    • Your browser says the file isn't commonly downloaded: choose Keep.
  2. Let it download the bots

    On first start the launcher downloads the bots and RLBot's server, about 1.25 GB. That takes a few minutes. The installed bots take about 4 GB.

  3. Pick teams and press Launch

    1. Drag a bot from Bots onto Blue or Orange, or pick "Add to … Team" and click a bot. Add Human for yourself.
    2. Pick the map, the length and Steam or Epic.
    3. Press Launch.

Good to know

You need

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
  • Rocket League on Steam or Epic
  • About 4 GB free
  • Internet for the first download

Stays up to date

After setup, updates are automatic and small. A new CP Bot version is about 16 MB, and updates never install during a match. The launcher updates itself too, and shows a Restart button when it's ready.
