'Rocket League' Limited Time Drive Days Event Planned For Next Week

by Rainier on April 20, 2023 @ 10:16 p.m. PDT

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.

Psyonix is announcing Drive Days, a new Limited Time Event in Rocket League that begins on April 26! Drive Days will include an opportunity for players to earn a brand-new Car, Redline, through Event Challenges, a Car Show section of the Item Shop featuring different cars each week, and two Limited Time Modes. 

LET'S FIND YOUR RIDE 

Rev your engines and buckle up tight: a brand-new Rocket League Event is coming to town. Drive Days is our biggest car-stravaganza of all time, and you can even earn the new Redline Car for FREE by completing in-game challenges! But that's not all—browse a full lineup of cars in the Item Shop’s Car Show tab. With a wide collection of vehicles on display, it’s the perfect time to pick up a crossover SUV, track-ready speedster, or maybe even your next main. 

Come on down to Drive Days from April 26 to May 10!

REV UP TO REDLINE

Lookin’ for something new? You’ve come to the right place. Players who complete Drive Days Challenges will be rewarded with the Redline Car (Breakout Hitbox). You’ll also unlock Items like the Spacerocker and Buffstuff Wheels, plus a couple of decals to customize your Redline.

Throughout the Event, players can also earn up to five Golden Toolkits that unlock Items from the NitroImpact, and Accelerator Item Series’. Golden Toolkits work the same way as previous Golden rewards⁠—complete the Challenge up to five times to earn Golden Toolkits, then open them in your Inventory to unlock items!

CAR SHOW

Step right up, and don’t be shy. We’ve got dozens of Cars waiting to come home to your Garage! Painted cars? Got ‘em. Titanium White, Black, Forest Green—we even have some Gold cars in the back! The first lineup of cars will arrive in the Item Shop on April 26 as part of the Car Show tab, but the fun doesn’t end there. On May 3, we’ll release a whole new lineup of cars, so don’t miss out!

COMMUNITY CONTEST

With new cars comes new inspiration, and that’s where the Rocket League Drive Days Community Contest comes in! For this fanart contest, we’re seeking artwork based on the many cars of Drive Days! Whether you wanna see Twinzer in space, sculpt a wild 3D Peregrine TT, or paint a sick Diestro mural, all art is welcome. 

And what about those fabulous prizes? Four winners will be chosen to receive a contest-exclusive Player Title and Avatar Border, plus a code for Rocket Pass Premium

Players can submit their art by posting it to the Drive Days Contest channel within the Rocket League Discord with the hashtag #DriveDaysContest.

View the complete rules HERE.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Fanart must be of a car featured in the Drive Days Car Show tab, or Redline
    • We’ll be excluding OctaneFennec, and Dominus from this competition to let other vehicles shine
  • Add the hashtag #DriveDaysContest when you submit in the#drive-days-contest Discord channel.
DATES
  • May 10: Deadline to submit by 10:00 a.m. PDT
  • May 17: Winners will be announced! 

LIMITED TIME MODES

From April 26 to May 3, players can chase the heat in Heatseeker! In this LTM, the ball only needs a slight tap before it begins homing in on your opponent's goal. Since the goals are quick and defense is difficult, this Mode is won by whichever team can reach seven goals first.

Next players can jump into Spike Rush from May 3  to May 10. This pointed mode gives players a neverending Spikes power-up. Drive into the ball to stick it, then dodge to launch the ball forward! A bit of warning: whoever carries the ball can’t boost, and they’ll quickly become a juicy target for demolition.

Ready to find your ride? Drive Days is in town from April 26 to May 10!
