Rocket League“Rocket Pass”

Alongside the XP and leveling updates, Psyonix also been working on a new system to give you new ways to earn items and make progress while playing Rocket League.

The “Rocket Pass” system consists of multiple Tiers of earnable content.  You increase your Tier by leveling up normally and you’ll unlock new, unique content as you go.  Each “Rocket Pass” will last for a few months before it’s retired and a new Pass will take its place with new content to unlock.

The “Rocket Pass” has both Free and Premium tracks so everybody has something to work for.  The Free track contains new cosmetic items as well as Decryptors and exclusive in-game Titles, while the Premium track will have a flat cost to unlock. You will be able to preview Premium track content before you buy the unlock to access it.

Psyonix is still developing the “Rocket Pass” system and they’ll have more details to share as we get closer to launch!

Keep in mind that more information on these items will become available closer to their launch, and we’ll be sure to share any patch notes that become available during those times. For now, though, this roadmap will give players a good idea of what to expect out of the game’s future. If you want info specifically regarding Rocket League trading, you can head RocketPrices.Com.
