Players who missed out on the 570S will be able to get the new McLaren 570S Pack, complete with the 570S, Silver Decal, and more. Plus, players who already have the McLaren 570S in their garage can get this new pack without the car for fewer Credits. This option will only be available to those who already own the McLaren 570S. Here's everything included in both offerings.

How to get Formula 1 cars in Rocket League

Rocket League's hotly anticipated collaboration with Formula 1 will kick off tomorrow as a part of a "multi-year partnership" that sees F1 cars and their iconic team liveries added to the game. Developer Psyonix also promises to revisit the Formula 1 event in future, perhaps to coincide with the iconic Silverstone Grand Prix, or when the winner of the 2021 World Championship is crowned.

The partnership comes in the wake of a successful Nascar promotion, in which Psyonix added a new body type and corresponding decals. This time around, all ten Formula 1 teams will be represented in-game, with skins ranging from the iconic red of Ferrari, the cool green of Aston Martin, to the winning colours of Mercedes and many more besides.

Whether you've always fancied yourself as a bit of a Lewis Hamilton, or you just want to see what happens when you take a painstakingly-designed vehicle into an arena of goals, explosions, and carnage, the Formula 1 Fan Pack offers something for everyone. Alternatively, it's a good way to flex while climbing the Rocket League ranks. Whatever your motivation, we've covered exactly how to get Formula 1 cars in Rocket League right here.

Premium DLC Will Be Cross-Platform Starting May 24

Starting May 24, all of your favorite Premium DLC items that were purchased prior to the launch of Free To Play will be cross-platform in Rocket League!

Whether you’re aiming for 88-mph goals with the DeLorean Time Machine from Back To The Future, or it’s all about family and the Fast & Furious cars, players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox will be able to use Premium DLC Packs that were purchased prior to the launch of Free To Play across platforms.

Accessing licensed content across platforms requires two steps:

You will need to link your different platform accounts if you haven’t done so already. If your accounts are already linked, you can skip this step.
Once your platform accounts are linked up, you will need to log into the platform where you own the licensed items once this feature is live on May 24. You only need to do this once. It’s a necessary step so PsyNet can link which DLC your platform account owns to your other accounts.

Some content cannot make the cross-platform journey, including:

Platform-Exclusive Items: e.g., Sweet Tooth, Hogsticker, Armadillo, Mario and Luigi NSR, and Samus' Gunship
Ultimate Edition On-Disc DLC: Batman/DC Superheroes Pack

For our players on Nintendo Switch™, we are not able to fully support cross-platform Premium DLC on the console at this time. You will be able to use Premium DLC owned on other platforms, but items owned on your Nintendo Switch™ cannot be used elsewhere. This is something we are still pursuing with Nintendo, as we want players to be able to use licensed cars and items across every platform.
