'Rocket League' Season 10 Begins Later This Week, Adds New Rocket Pass, Volkswagen Golf II GTI, Arena Variant And More - Trailer

by Rainier on March 6, 2023 @ 1:19 p.m. PST

Rocket League is a fast-paced action-sports game featuring amazing physics, crazy aerial action, and compelling multiplayer combat.

The sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League expands on its successful pedigree with improved graphics and physics systems, a robust new single-player campaign, considerable customization options, and a fully-charged multiplayer game geared for a next-generation action-sports experience.

Rocket League is a futuristic action-sports game where players pilot rocket-powered vehicles in an enhanced version of soccer by driving their vehicles into the ball and other players in a variety of arenas. Rocket League uses an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions between cars and the ball, where mass and momentum determine how hard balls and cars hit each other, creating a unique and visceral playing experience.

Lost long ago in the shifting sands of Deadeye Canyon sat a secret treasure, undisturbed by the passing of time… until recently. Shocked explorers stumbled upon this unspoiled sanctuary, marveling at a time capsule of exotic wildlife and botanical wonders. Woken by an ancient spell, it appears the desert's heart has begun to beat once more.

Season 10 invites you to shift into neutral while you rest, relax, and collect a bounty of Items! Enjoy a peaceful Rocket Pass, explore a new Oasis Arena Variant, and take the legendary Volkswagen Golf II GTI for a spin.

Season 10 starts Wednesday, March 8! 

GROW YOUR GARAGE WITH ROCKET PASS

A plentiful harvest has sprouted in the desert, and our top crop this season is the Volkswagen Golf GTI! A beloved classic with timeless popularity, the Golf GTI is brought to life in Rocket League with an Octane Hitbox. The base car is available immediately with Rocket Pass Premium, but players who work their way through the Tiers will also earn the tuned-up Volkswagen Golf GTI RLE! Both cars come with a realistic set of Wheels to complete the look.

Once you’ve settled into your new ride, you’ll need some Items to go along with it! 

Cast your roaring engines aside and soothe your weary teammates with the Tranquil and Serenity Engine Audios. However, if you’d rather feed the beast, you can always slide into the primal SpotDot Decal.

For players who keep everything in perfect balance, the realistic Whip Antenna is centered on the back of the car instead of the standard side mount. Channel energy into the Lotus Bloom Goal Explosion while you search for serenity, or leave a trail of fireflies behind you with the Glister Trail. Look, I caught one! 

With a wide variety of earthy Paint Finishes, colorful Wheels, and Decals inspired by the wonders of nature, the Season 10 Rocket Pass will give you and your friends good vibes all season long.

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

Deadeye Canyon isn’t looking quite so dead these days. With the sudden proliferation of flora and fauna, our once dusty desert has transformed into Deadeye Canyon (Oasis)

You’ll likely hear a new tune whistling through the gorge while you explore. That’s oasis by zensei ゼンセ, originally written for the Season 10 Gameplay Trailer up top! Listen to the full in-game track with Rocket League Radio, or pick it up as a Player Anthem a couple hours after the Season starts.

REWARDS ARE THEIR OWN REWARD

These new Tournament Rewards will soothe your spirit after a tough match. Equip the Scalescore Decal and slither your way to success, or stop for an organic snack with the Ramen Bowl Topper. This season might be all about relaxation, but don't space out too far! Grab hold of the floating Spaceman Antenna to keep your mind tethered whenever you start to drift. 

Feelin’ lucky? Roll a critical hit with this Season’s Black Market Rewards, including the eight-sided Polyhedral Goal Explosion.

As this new Season comes to life, your Tournament Credits from Season 9 will reset. Players who participated in Competitive Tournaments during Season 9 will receive an All-Star Cup reward. Unspent Tournament Credits will be converted to the highest level reward a player is eligible to earn based on their Tournament Rank and Tournament Credit amount. This conversion will happen automatically the first time you log into Season 10.

GET BACK IN THE GAME

A while back, we changed how playlist population was shown to “Good,” “Great,” or “Amazing.” Many of you felt this wasn't good, great, or amazing, so we’re happy to introduce our new Average Wait Time Counter! From now on, players will be able to see the estimated queue time it will take to find their next match. This timer will be visible in the "Searching for Match" screen after choosing your playlist.

Not seeing your timer? In certain situations, estimated queue times may not be available such as when new Limited Time Modes are released.

UNDER THE HOOD

Everyone's favorite behind-the-scenes video series is back with another installment! If you’ve ever wondered what goes into recording the Engine Audio you hear in Rocket League, our talented Psyonix audio team is here to show you how it all goes down. The episode drops March 9 on the official Rocket League YouTube Channel!

SPROUTS IN THE CITY

The regenerative powers of the oasis seem to be spreading beyond the edge of Deadeye Canyon. Garages around the world have reported an influx of cars where there were once barren lots. Hmm. Maybe a few weeks in the Psyonix meditation cavern will enlighten us.
