Modes of May: Feel the boom in Boomer Ball!

Here comes the BOOM! Boomer Ball is live all weekend as part of Rocket League's Modes of May!

Popularized by the Rocket League community, Boomer Ball has fun with mutators and puts a high-flying, lightning-fast twist on 3v3 soccar. Boost amount is unlimited and is now 1.5x stronger than typical boost. That means it launches you farther and faster than the standard boost you're used to. The ball speed is set to super fast, bounciness is increased to super high, and ball physics are super light. Touch the ball and see just how far and fast you can launch it!

Enjoy Boomer Ball until Monday, May 18 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). Find it in the Boomer Ball tab in the Play Online menu. Check back next week when the Modes of May wraps up with Heatseeker! Have fun with Boomer Ball!

Modes of May: Prepare for Boomer Ball on Thursday!

Get ready for the BOOM! Boomer Ball is going live as the third Limited Time Mode featured during the Modes of May. Before it goes live on Thursday, here's everything you need to know about Rocket League's newest mode.

Boomer Ball plays with mutators to put a high-flying, lightning-fast twist on 3v3 soccar. Boost amount is unlimited and is now 1.5x stronger than typical boost. That means it launches you farther and faster than the standard boost you're used to. The ball speed is set to super fast, bounciness is increased to super high, and ball physics are super light. Touch the ball and see just how far and fast you can launch it! Other than that, standard soccar rules apply.

Boomer Ball was popularized by Rocket League's creative community, so we're excited to add it as a casual Online Playlist this weekend. Look out for it starting Thursday at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC) until Monday at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). We hope you enjoy this frantic Limited Time Mode throughout the weekend!

Salty Shores Is Open For Beach Ball!

Who's up for some fun in the sun? Beach Ball is live in Rocket League now until Monday, May 11 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). It's the second Limited Time Mode featured during the Modes of May!

Hit the beaches of Salty Shores in this feelgood, 2v2 mode. The typical Rocket League ball has been transformed into a beach ball, making it lighter and causing hits to curve. The curves can be difficult to predict, so be ready!

You can find the unranked mode in the Play Online menu under the Beach Ball tab. Matches played will grant the same amount of XP as other modes, so you'll still Tier Up your Rocket Pass at the same speed as other Playlists.

Different Limited Time Modes will be featured each weekend throughout the Modes of May. Be sure to play later this month when Boomer Ball and Heatseeker arrive! Good luck, and have fun!

Modes of May is live featuring Dropshot Rumble!

Two fan-favorites collide to kick off the Modes of May in Rocket League! Check out a different Limited Time Mode featured each weekend throughout the month! First up: Dropshot Rumble!

Just like the name suggests, the two Extra Modes have collided for the action of Dropshot enhanced by the zany power-ups from Rumble. Enjoy the Limited Time Mode all weekend long! The mode is live now and will be playable until Monday, May 4 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC).

Like other Limited Time Modes, each mode will be Unranked and found in a separate tab in the Play Online menu. They will also grant the same amount of XP as all other Online Playlists, so you'll still Tier Up your Rocket Pass 6 level as usual. Good luck out there!
