Rocket League's Birthday Ball will reward players with Credits

Can you believe Rocket League is turning seven this year? It only seems like yesterday that the rocket-powered cars crashed the PlayStation Store for the first time, whipping people up into a frenzy. The game has changed quite a lot since then and to celebrate its innovation, Psyonix is introducing two party-themed limited-time events, a whole host of challenges, and rewards - which, for the first time, include the game's premium currency Credits.

The Birthday Ball will be kicked off a day earlier than the big anniversary on July 6 by the limited-time event 2v2 Heatseeker. This fan favourite sends the ball flying towards the enemy goal every time you hit it, making for a high-stakes game that'll keep you entertained from grinding the Rocket League ranks. This mode will only be available uyntil July 13, where it'll then be replaced by Knockout, a brutal game mode where there is no ball.

Both these modes will be supplemented by the Birthday Ball event challenges, which will allow players to earn up to 300 Credits as a reward. This is the first time Credits have been given away as rewards in-game and offers those who avoid the battle pass and the store to get their hands on some new cosmetics.

To celebrate Fall Guys going free on all major platforms, we’ve teamed up with Mediatonic to create Fall Guys Challenge Rewards.

[h2]Kudos to You![/h2]
Beating out 39 other players is a big ask. That’s why players earn rewards just for playing! Players will receive free Rocket League items after completing a set number of rounds in Fall Guys.

In honor of all the chatter, players can unlock the Colorful Canines Player Banner and Topper set. Next up are the anodized Med. Rare Wheels, cooked to juicy perfection. The Animated Cluster Buster Decal brings a bit of Fall Guys flair, while players who go all out and finish 100 rounds can earn the blazing Fallout Boost.

For each challenge you complete in Fall Guys, you’ll also earn Fall Guys premium currency known as Kudos! Use it to buy Costumes, Emotes, or Faceplates as you bumble your way to victory.

10 Rounds - Colorful Canines Player Banner
20 Rounds - Colorful Canines Topper
40 Rounds - Med. Rare Wheels
70 Rounds - Cluster Buster Decal

Well, whether you think that is right or not, Psyonix is introducing a new set of Goal Explosions to celebrate the upcoming start of the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Spring Major. From June 22, the RLCS 2021-22 Goal Explosions cosmetics set will introduce a total of 19 Goal Explosions based on current RLCS esports teams.

Whether you're a FaZe Clan fanatic or a Spacestation supporter, every single team that qualified for the RLCS Spring Major will be represented in the RLCS 2021-22 Goal Explosions cosmetics set. And, don't worry if your favourite team just missed out on a spot. Why? Well, there are a couple more Goal Explosions in the set for popular Rocket League esports teams that aren't competing this time around.

If you want to pick up one of the RLCS 2021-22 Goal Explosions, all you need to do is get your hands on some Esports Tokens. Each relevant cosmetic is going to set you back 500 of these bad boys, which will cost you just under $5 / £3.75. We've certainly seen worse-priced cosmetics.
