There's nothing else quite like Rocket League, the automobile soccer game in which fast-driving, gravity-defying cars hit a ball around a futuristic field. Now, ahead of the game's third season, Rocket League is getting a few updates, most notably to its trade-in system.
A trailer for Rocket League's upcoming Season 3 was released a few days ago and reveals a new vehicle and new upgrades, but news of the reworked trade-in system comes from a tweet Rocket League's official Twitter account sent out earlier today. The tweet promises that Rocket League's trade-in process will be made easier than ever, and the information in the link provided seems to confirm that this is indeed the case.
On April 6, a day before Season 3 goes live, a dedicated trade-in button will be added to the garage menu. From there, items will be divided into the categories of Blueprints, Tournament Items, and Core Items, with each subsection organized in order of rarity. The new menu system will also display how many trade-ins the player has available, an update that should streamline the trade-in process. Rocket League also recently added bundle purchases to the shop, so streamlining the UI seems to be a priority for the dev team.
Once the update goes live players will be able to mix different families of blueprints from different series when they trade them in. Doing this will change the player's chances of getting a blueprint from a specific series in return, with the chances increasing when more blueprints from that same series are offered up. There's a definite learning curve when it comes to mastering car control in Rocket League, but now, thanks to the trade-in menu update and other previous, similar updates, Rocket League's menus are becoming easier and easier to navigate.
Rocket League is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
