[p][/p][p]Plus, learn about the early Champs Road tourneys![/p][p]As you zoom around the arena, keep your eyes peeled for more than just the ball. Rocket League’s first-ever Echo Item, the Rave Roller Wheels, is up for grabs starting August 21! To nab it for yourself, all you’ve gotta do is bump into a driver in Echo Playlists who owns the Wheels.
⁠
⁠Plus, we’re almost at the starting line for 2025’s Champions Road! But before the whistle blows on September 4, the tournaments are starting ahead of time… Read on for all the dates! To celebrate Part 3 of Rocket League Season 19, there’s a trunk full of Twitch Drops just waiting to be unlocked like the Big Splash Goal Explosion. Part 3 of the Season starts August 21!
⁠[/p][h2]Echo Chase[/h2][p]See it, bump it, unlock it! We’ll be granting some of Rocket League’s developers and top players the Rave Roller Wheels — and you can get these fluorescent rims for yourself! Just hop into an eligible playlist and give another player a friendly (or, if they’re on the opposing team, not so friendly!) bump. If that player owns the Wheels, you will too.[/p][p][/p][p]⁠You’ll find the Wheels waiting in your Garage after the match. ⁠Wanna look extra flashy? There are also the Rave Roller (Gold) Wheels! Unlock these by bumping into any player who has the Rave Roller Wheels, right after a goal has been scored. You’ll know the player has the Wheels if they give off an Echo aura after someone scores a goal![/p][p][/p][p]If you unlock the Rave Roller (Gold) Wheels but don’t have the base version, you’ll also unlock the base version.[/p][p]⁠⁠Both versions of the Echo Item are unlockable August 21 at 9 AM PT ‘til September 3 at 11 PM PT in specific Casual Playlists (“Echo Playlists”). It’ll start out in Arcade and Chaos, but it may echo to other Casual Playlists as we get closer to September 3![/p][p][/p][h2]Champions Road Tournament Schedule[/h2][p]The ultimate celebration of Rocket League’s competitive scene is almost here: Champions Road.
