James Bond Infiltrates Rocket League

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The name's League... Rocket League.

Get ready to jump into the driver's seat of the iconic car driven by James Bond himself! The Rocket League pitch will be shaken, maybe even stirred, by the arrival of the famous 1963 Aston Martin DB5 on July 29.

Q has been hard at work in the lab developing the perfect vehicle for Soccar. The Aston Martin DB5 has been outfitted with rocket boost and an Octane hitbox, and is now ready to go airborne and score goals. 007’s Aston Martin DB5 comes with the signature Silver Birch Paint Finish that resembles the original color of the Aston Martin, one-of-a-kind Engine Audio, 007's Aston Martin DB5 Wheels, and a Reel Life Decal.

*Note: The items included in the bundle can only be equipped by the Aston Martin DB5. The Aston Martin DB5 cannot be customized with all item types.

Get 007’s Aston Martin DB5 in the Item Shop for 1100 Credits for a limited time before it's gone. Bond will declassify more of his garage later this year, so stay tuned for more mission briefings!

Introducing Season 3 Rewards

Rocket League Season 3 is quickly approaching the finish line! The season comes to a close on August 11, and that means it's time to reveal the Competitive Season 3 Rewards. Without further ado, the Competitive Season 3 Rewards will be...universal animated Decals! Take a sneak peek at the new decals in the image above and video below before they arrive when Season 4 begins!

Rocket League needs to fix its biggest problem - its players

Rocket League has been a mainstay of my online play since it first released back in July 2015. I've turned to the game nearly every day for the last six years when I'm bored, need something to play for half an hour, or need a bit of a comforting pick-me-up. No game, before or since, has quite managed to feel like an actual sport to the same level of Psyonix's simple-yet-complicated rocket-powered soccar game. We can all agree that it's a fantastic game, but there's one thing that lets it down - its players.

Rocket League is full of the most toxic, aggressive, and downright offensive players I've had the displeasure to spend time online with. It's worse than any other videogame I've played in 20 years. There's something about it that brings out the worst in people and it has to stop. Fortunately, I can think of a couple of ways to fix Rocket League's player problem.

Before you argue that I need to 'get good'; I've spent over 700 hours in-game, dabbling in the top tiers of Rocket League ranked across Standard, Doubles, and Duel in the process. Sure, I put in terrible performances from time to time, but that's part of the fun. Just like in real sports, even the best can have terrible days on the pitch and people need to get over that. There's simply no need for ugly and hate-filled language when players make honest mistakes.
