Pride Month Ignites With The Free Shine Through Bundle


[h2]Supersonic Extravaganza[/h2]

At Psyonix, Pride Month is a time for joy. Many of our talented team are proud members of the community⁠—including the person writing this! While everyone has their own unique connections to Pride, you’re invited to join our Rocket League celebration with a Free Shine Through Bundle in the Item Shop!

In addition to a delicious Sequin Paint Finish and rainbow Tiara: Multichrome Topper, players can pick up four certified bangers sung by modern drag icons! The songs will be available both as free Player Anthems in the Item Shop and on Rocket League Radio in a playlist called Shine Through. The tunes and Bundle will be available June 15 through July 12.

[h2]INSIDE THE MUSIC[/h2]
Drag has been an important, inclusive method of self-expression during Pride going back to the event’s formative years. The art form has grown through the decades, with many modern queens reaching pop-star-level popularity. Let’s look at the majestic artists featured this month!

Trixie Mattel is one of the world’s premiere plasticine queens with a look as playful as her namesake. The multi-talented singer of “Hello, Hello” is best known for an electric personality both in and out of drag. Trixie’s upcoming album, “The Blonde & Pink Albums” comes out on June 24 and can be pre-saved here.

After appearing on American Idol, drag artist Adore Delano found further fame on Ru Paul’s Drag Race. A good-old-fashioned lip synch will never go out of style, but Adore’s performances have instead showcased their serious singing abilities.

Before the meteoric rise of drag in the late 2010s, Conchita Wurst made worldwide headlines for winning 2014’s Eurovision contest with her song “Rise Like a Phoenix.” Today this bearded diva sells out shows across the world.

After his appearance on American Idol, Todrick Hall’s dance hit “Lover Boy” certified him as a staple of any club’s playlist. An incredibly prolific singer, choreographer, and YouTuber, this Broadway star is the definition of a triple threat.

Season 7: Changes Coming To Custom Training

We are only a few days away from the start of Rocket League’s glamorous Season 7. Before we all strike a pose in the Gilded variant of Utopia Coliseum, we want to share some details on changes coming to Custom Training on June 14 alongside the game update.

We’ve read through a ton of your feedback when it comes to Custom Training, and with this week’s update we finally had a chance to bring some highly-requested quality of life adjustments to the system. Read on for a preview of what’s coming!



[h2]TRAINING PACK PROGRESSION[/h2]
With Season 7, we are changing up how you can navigate and progress through training packs:

Choose Your Path: Progress on packs no longer requires you to complete shots in a specific order. You’ll be able to jump around from shot to shot, and complete a pack however you see fit. Is that third shot giving you trouble? Skip over to the fourth shot, and circle back later. (We’ll explain more about this below.)

What a Save! We’re adding training pack progress to save data, so you can work on as many shots and as many packs as you want. Make some progress, take a break, and come back later without having to restart packs from zero.

Reset Button: Completed a pack that you want to take a fresh look at? No problem. Hit Pause, and you can reset progress on any training pack you’ve started or completed.


[h2]SHOT NAVIGATION AND SHOT MIRRORING[/h2]
We’ve taken note of what players want (especially those on PC), so we’re bringing a bunch of shot navigation changes into Rocket League. Controls for everything below will appear below the progress bar.

Next and Previous Shot: You can now move freely between shots in a training pack – no need to complete them in a specific order.

Select Shot: A simple press and hold will bring up a new drop-down menu that allows you to freely pick which shot in the pack you want to practice.

Shuffle Shots: Want to mix it up? Hit the Shuffle Shots button to randomize the shot order.

Shot Mirroring: With the press of a button, you can mirror a shot to the opposite side of an arena. Working on weak side strikes and saves has never been easier. Mirroring works on all Arenas available in Custom Training. This may not always be the case when new Arenas are introduced in the future, depending on shape, size, and other factors.



[h2]MENU AND INTERFACE CHANGES[/h2]
With all the new functionality, we’ve made a few adjustments to the menus and interfaces tied into Custom Training:

History Repeats Itself: In the Custom Training menu, a new “History” tab has been added next to the “Created” tab. We’ve had the functionality for the History tab turned on in the background for some time now, so your recent training pack history should be populated as soon as your game client is updated. You can also add any packs in the History tab to your favorites list.

Pause Menu Changes: From here, you can reset progress on a training pack, and you can also hit “End Training” to see the progress made on the pack.

End Training: From here, you can jump back into the pack, change to a different game mode, change the training pack, or go back to the main menu.

Finally, two really important reminders:

  • With new functionality comes new controls! Want to change up the inputs for Shuffle Shots, Mirroring, and beyond?
    • Load into a Custom Training pack
    • Go to Settings -> Controls -> View/Change Bindings
    • Scroll to the very bottom, and you will see the new inputs right below controls for Knockout
  • Have you created Custom Training packs in Rocket League? No need to worry! All existing packs can take advantage of all the new controls and changes, no adjustments necessary.



We’re really excited about all the changes coming to Custom Training, and we can’t wait to see you all in game at the start of Season 7. Let us know what you think of the Custom Training changes on our subreddit, and in the official Rocket League Discord server. Thanks, everyone!

You’re Invited To The Season 7 Premiere!

It’s Time To Find Your Fortune!


As the sun sets, the spotlights shine brightly into the sky, beckoning racers new and old to assemble at Utopia Coliseum. The flash of cameras illuminates a velvet red carpet, marble floors, and cars decked out in their finest Black Market Decals. Welcome to Season 7!

…Well, actually the season starts June 15, but our Very Important Players will get a sneak peek at what’s to come. A glamorous Rocket Pass will bring a touch of class to your garage, while new Tournament Rewards add a bit of fun. Arenas get a makeover as well, with the new Utopia Coliseum (Gilded) variant. A couple of special features will come to the game later in the season, so make sure to stay till the end!



[h2]Season 7 Rocket Pass[/h2]

The Season 7 Rocket Pass will give players a taste of the finer things in life. Dine on succulent Sushi Roller Wheels while you enjoy the illustrious atmosphere of the animated Aquarium Player Banner. Need an outfit for the occasion? Dress for success with the diamond-laden Carat Cutter Wheels and Gatsby-Esque Marble Floor Decal while showing off your new Kinda Big Deal Player Title.

Tired of missing open nets? Well, now you can pay someone to make those shots for you! Introducing Maestro, the ritziest car on the block. Dripping with panache, this stately sedan looks right at home cruising through Beverly Hills or carefully aiming redirects with its Dominus Hitbox.



[h2]Golden Gods[/h2]

The best players deserve the best rewards, that’s why Season 7 is introducing Golden Painted Items. These super rare showpieces can be found in Rocket Pass Pro Tiers, which occur once you’ve reached tier 70. Some of these flashy rewards will require players to reach Tiers as high as 150!



[h2]Bonus Features[/h2]

Aurora borealis at this time of year? No, that’s just the new Utopia Coliseum (Gilded) Arena! With glorious pillars and marbled floors, this is the perfect place to host your next event, as long as that event is Soccar.

Not everything needs to be elegant, though. Take a break from the glitz and glamour to earn new Tournament Rewards! Get old-school with the arcade cabinet-themed Got Next Player Banner, or feel the burn with the flaming Nunya: Roasted Wheels. Fortunate players might even unlock the Black Market Dunker Goal Explosion, a burst of glazed donuts that are guaranteed to start a sugar rush!



Finally, test your fortune with the Select Favorites 2 Series which will begin dropping as Blueprints on June 16, the day after the season begins. Enjoy hand-picked classics including the Dueling Dragons Goal Explosion, hypnotic Zomba Wheels, and the galactic Interstellar Decal.

[h2]Coming Up Next[/h2]

Feel like you’ve reached your skill peak? No need to worry; the upcoming Custom Training Pack Updates will have you reaching levels of cracked-ness never seen before! More details are on their way next week.

Lastly, clear your schedules for this year’s Summer Anniversary LTE celebrating 7 years of Rocket League. Players will have to wait a bit to hear more, but it’s guaranteed to be a showstopper!
