Rocket League has seen plenty of success since the game's release in 2015 combined fast cars and soccer into high-flying turbocharged action. The long-running sports game from Psyonix has seen consistent updates over the last six and a half years with plenty of new cars, modes, and ways for players to compete with one another. Now, as the game moves into the last month of its fifth competitive season, it ushers in its newest event bringing plenty of new cosmetics and some key bug fixes.
Recently, Rocket League revealed the newest event coming to the game titled "Neon Nights", featuring flashy colors and an out-of-this-world thematic. The event will celebrate the music of Rocket League and features a collaboration with Canadian musician Grimes, who will have music from her newest album featured as player anthems during the event. The newest update will not only kick off the event but add plenty of new content for fans of the game's esports scene.
Rocket League's version 2.10 will officially kick off the game's Neon Nights event adding in a plethora of flashy neon cosmetics for players to deck out their cars. These cosmetics will be unlockable through a variety of challenges such as recording 15 shots on goal or getting 5 assists in online matches. The event will also feature the introduction of the Heatseeker Ricochet limited-time game mode, a new spin on the game's popular Heatseeker mode with goal-seeking balls. Players will be able to dive into the new event soon as Neon Nights is set to officially begin today.
The newest update also features several new kits from Rocket League's competitive circuit to the game's Esports Shop, introducing Away Kits for all the featured teams as well as adding home and away kits for North America's Complexity and Europe's Misfits Gaming. The patch also introduces several bug fixes into the game with Psyonix looking to address issues related to player-to-player trading, reporting from the Friends List, and fixing the appearance of some of the game's cosmetics.
Rocket League has placed a major focus in recent years on making the fast-paced action available and accessible to as many players as possible. After five years on the market, the game transitioned into a free-to-play model in 2020 and, last year, Psyonix released Rocket League Sideswipe as a mobile-optimized version of the popular sports game. Rocket League has also been praised for its accessibility for players with disabilities, partnering with major charity AbleGamers to demonstrate adaptive video game equipment.
Rocket League is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
