Rocket League News

[p]Looking for somewhere to meet up with your friends? You can’t beat hanging out at the Boostfield Mall! This new Arena will be open all-hours during Rocket League Season 20 launching September 17.[/p][p]If you’re going for a day out at the mall, you probably want something fashionable to wear. There’s something to suit all styles in Season 20’s Rocket Pass Premium, from the macabre Goth Trail to the comically cheery Yes! Goal Explosion.[/p][p]The Pass also features two American classics that are always in vogue. Automatically unlock the Pontiac Firebird Car Body when you purchase Season 20’s Rocket Pass Premium. Later in the Premium Tiers, unlock the Chevrolet Astro Car Body![/p][p]Additionally, you’ll unlock the Mad Rad Wheels just for logging into Rocket League during Season 20. If it looks like these were made out of a mall arcade’s carpet, you may be onto something.[/p][p][/p][h2]Let’s Go to the Arena… Today![/h2][p]Shop ‘til you drop? More like boost ‘til you break! Make Friday nights unforgettable by going on a soccar spree at the Boostfield Mall Arena with your BFFs. Anyone wanna catch a movie after the match? Or maybe we can just watch the replay.[/p][p][/p][h2]4v4 Gets an Upgrade[/h2][p]We’re dialing down the disarray in 4v4 and turning up the strategy. This mode will feature two larger arenas that‘ll better accommodate eight players. The number of boost pads will increase and the layout of them will change to improve the flow of matches. [/p][p]This mode will have a Competitive version for the duration of Season 20, marking Rocket League’s first new Competitive Playlist in almost seven years! The upgraded 4v4 will also be available as a Casual Playlist.[/p][p][/p][h2]Revamped Rocket Pass Progression[/h2][p]We want your Rocket Pass progress to be as seamless as an all-in-one shopping complex, so we’re making some changes in Season 20:[/p]

• [p]Drops from Challenges will be replaced by XP.[/p]
• [p]There will no longer be Premium Challenges. All Challenges will be available whether you’ve bought Rocket Pass Premium or not.[/p]
• [p]You’ll earn twice the amount of XP per second from Online Matches, and you’ll be able to earn XP in Private Matches.[/p]
• [p]For Weekly and Seasonal Challenges, the average XP per Challenge will increase. Total XP across each week’s Weekly Challenges will stay the same. Total XP across each Seasonal Challenge Stage will decrease.[/p]

[h2]Change to Competitive Playlist Access[/h2][p]To access Competitive Playlists, new accounts will have to complete New Driver Challenges instead of reaching Level 20. These Challenges will measure player’s skill, placing them in an appropriate starting rank when they unlock access to Competitive Playlists. This should help new players get into Competitive Playlists sooner. It should also reduce instances of smurfing to help ensure fair and fun matches! [/p][p]There’s still more work to do to combat smurfing, but we’ll keep you updated along the way.[/p][h2]Tournament Reward Preview[/h2][p]Speaking of competitive play, Season 20 features a fresh slate of tournament rewards! Here’s a peek at some of ‘em:[/p][p][/p][h2]Rocket Pass Premium[/h2][p]Rollerblading down the street. That awkward goth phase. Dippin’ nuggies without a worry in the world. Season 20’s Rocket Pass Premium is a road trip through your deepest but most cherished memories! Crank up that analog stereo and joyride through the Premium Tiers.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Some cars never stop looking good, and Pontiac Firebird is a perfect example. This timeless American automotive legend will be unlocked automatically when you purchase Season 20’s Rocket Pass Premium! And get in, we’re late for soccar practice. Chevrolet Astro is also in Rocket Pass Premium![/p][p]⁠NOTE: Pontiac Firebird uses the Breakout hitbox, and Chevrolet Astro uses the Merc hitbox.[/p][p][/p][p]Someone call security, people are driving crazy in Boostfield Mall! Get things back in order with the Mall Cop (Pontiac Firebird) and Mall Cop (Chevrolet Astro) Decals. A classic fixture of the mall is the arcade. Show you’re a veteran at blocking a ball with the Pinball Wheels! [/p][p]Soccar can sure work up an appetite. Take your food court order to-go with the Corn Dog Antenna and Nuggy Goal Explosion! If that’s the flavor blast you needed, go for a color blast next with the Color Rush Boost. All that color make you shudder? Try the aforementioned Goth Trail instead.[/p][p]Battle-Cars and retro game consoles have one thing in common: they both run on blast processing. A certain chili dog loving speedster is runnin’ fast in the Rocket Pass, with rewards including the Sonic Sidescroller Player Banner and Sonic Looper Wheels! Look out for even more Sonic the Hedgehog later in Season 20 — this’ll be here before you know it.[/p][p]If you still got the retro gaming itch, celebrate your goal with pixelin’ slitherin’ by having the Snake Score Goal Explosion equipped![/p][p]All the rewards mentioned above are just SOME of what’s in the Season 20 Rocket Pass, which has 70 Tiers of rewards across free and Premium. [/p][h2]Community Spotlight: Lethamyr[/h2][p][/p][p]With 1.4+ million YouTube subscribers, Lethamyr is one of Rocket League’s most renowned content creators and professional players. To celebrate his contributions to the Rocket League community, the CARTOGRAPHER Player Title will be in the Item Shop for free at the start of Season 20![/p][p]Don’t settle for memory lane. Feel the now-stalgia in Rocket League Season 20 from September 17 to December 3.

[p][/p][p]There’s not long to go until the Rocket League World Championship begins September 10, but here’s something that’ll make those final few days of waiting zoom by — the return of Champions Road! This year’s Champions Road runs September 4 at 9 AM PT until the end of Season 19.
⁠
⁠Join us in celebrating Rocket League’s biggest competition by taking part in everything Champions Road 2025 has to offer. Get some serious airtime by hopping into the new Limited Time Mode Jump Jam, complete Challenges to unlock rewards worthy of a champion like the Superstar Wheels and Champ Helix Trail, plus earn double XP from Online Matches!
⁠
⁠⁠To the champ go the Challenge rewards… and then some. In the spirit of competition, learn about Rocket League Season 19’s Competitive Rewards! These will be granted when the next Season of Rocket League begins. As for now, Part 3 of Season 19 reaches its thrilling conclusion with Champions Road and the Rocket League World Championship ⚽🚗[/p][h2]New LTM: Head High in Jump Jam![/h2][p][/p][p]⁠Imagine soccar, but with a lot (and we mean a lot) more jumping. Jump Jam is a new 3v3 LTM that takes the core Rocket League mode you know and love to the skies by giving all players unlimited jumps and dodges. It’ll be available until Champs Road ends, so be sure to leap in before it springs out of rotation![/p][h2]Challenge Rewards of Champions[/h2][p][/p][p]Every champion has had to overcome obstacles on their journey to the top, so it’s only fitting that Champions Road has a few Challenges of its own. Specifically, there are 13 this year — nine of which reward new items for your Garage!
⁠
⁠Show you’re ready for game time, all the time. Score at least 200 points in 10 Online Matches and you’ll unlock the regal Game Time Wheels. But sometimes all you need is a simple stripe to look spectacular. Get that champion-level elegance with the Splitacular Decal, unlocked by winning 3 Online Matches in a row.
⁠
⁠You know what screams superstar? Rollin’ with the stars! If you’ve got what it takes to accrue 4000 total points in Online Matches, you’ll unlock the Superstar Wheels. And if you want to be such a big star that you’re a household name in the Wild West, there’s also the Champ Hat Topper unlockable by getting 50 clears or centers in Online Matches!
⁠
⁠These are just some of the items up for grabs. If you’re looking to turbo-charge your Rocket Pass progress, there are two one-time Challenges and two repeatable Challenges that award a Level Up! And don’t forget, all Online Matches during Champions Road give double XP. If this seems a lot like Season Rush, that’s because Champions Road is also the Season Rush for Season 19.[/p][h2]Champions Road / World Championship Twitch Drops[/h2][p][/p][p]⁠Earn Twitch Drops during Champions Road and the Rocket League World Championship!
