What a year 2019 has been! Rocket League celebrated its fourth birthday! We introduced full Cross-Platform play so friends can play together on all platforms. Radical Summer celebrated the ‘80s with our biggest in-game event ever. Countless glamour shots were taken with the new ReplayFX feature. Eight new cars entered the ever-expanding variety of vehicles. Plus, the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) held its eighth season and crowned a new World Champion just last weekend. And that just scratches the surface of everything that arrived this year.

Hopefully you spent some training time on the pitch and elevated your competitive game. Competitive Season 13 just kicked off, which means there’s plenty of time to hit the custom training packs, and get to that elusive Champion Rank, or even Grand Champion! To close out the year, we compiled the top played Custom Training Packs of 2019. These packs have been played collectively more than 10 million times! 

Check out the full list of Custom Training Packs below. Whether you’ve made training packs of your own, or prefer to improve your game on the fly in competitive games, thanks for being a part of the Rocket League community and helping make the game what it is today! Here’s to another great year. We’ll see you in 2020! 

‘Tis the season to be frosty! Rocket League’s annual winter event, Frosty Fest, is returning for the most wonderful time of the year, and it’s bringing plenty of holiday-themed, in-game goodies for everyone.

Enjoy the snowy variants of Rocket League Arenas throughout Frosty Fest. After earning Snowflakes by playing Online Matches, get out of the cold and into the Event Store. You’ll find plenty of new in-game items for your car to make it extra festive for the season. Plus, Golden Gifts are back, and will contain items from the Zephyr, Impact, and Overdrive Blueprint Series. As always, Golden Gifts are free to open! Take a look at the new items in the carousel below.

Log into Rocket League any time during Frosty Fest and get the Xmas Lights Trail for free! And, be sure to check out the Item Shop during Frosty Fest. You just might find items from Frosty Fests of old!

Frosty Fest begins December 16 at 10:00 a.m. PST (6 p.m. UTC) and runs until January 6. So, grab some cocoa, throw some logs on the fire, and stay warm all throughout Frosty Fest!

Since the Blueprint Update release last week, we have pored over all of your comments on Discord, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. We have heard your feedback that Item Shop and Blueprint pricing did not meet community expectations. After carefully reviewing all the data available to us, we're making the following changes, starting today:

Reduced the base price ranges of Item Rarities (before attributes like Paint) to the following values:

• Rare: 50-100 Credits
  
• Very Rare: 100-200 Credits
  
• Import: 300-500 Credits
  
• Exotic: 700-800 Credits

[/list]
Paint and Special Editions now add less cost across the board, based on rarity:

• Most Paint Colors: 50-200 additional Credits
  
• Burnt Sienna: 0 additional Credits
  
• Titanium White: 100-500 additional Credits
  
• Special Editions: 200-400 additional Credits

[/list]

Occasionally, special items will have custom pricing that varies from the above guidelines.

For in-game purchases made between December 4 and December 11 (today) at 12:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m. UTC) we will add Credits equal to any difference in price directly to your account. For example, purchasers of Crimson Fennec will receive 500 Credits back today, as a Crimson Fennec now costs 700 instead of 1200 Credits. This price adjustment is a one-time only event, and only applies to purchases made between December 4 and December 11.

These Credit returns will be complete within the next few hours. There will be no in-game display explaining this change. Players with any questions or concerns about recent purchases may contact our Customer Care team.
We always take feedback from our passionate community seriously, and we hope that this change in pricing reflects that. As always, thank you for being part of what makes Rocket League what it is today.

To see what else is included in today’s update, check out the patch notes here.

Every hero has a journey. Yours begins in Rocket Pass 5 on December 4 following the Blueprint Update! Prepare to find your inner strength and climb to the Pro Tiers to be the best like no one ever was.

Upgrade to Rocket Pass Premium and wield the power of the newest car, Chikara. This anime-inspired supercar will be unlocked immediately, and the Chikara GTX will be waiting for you at Tier 70. Rocket Pass 5 features 70 Tiers of new items including Holosphere Wheels, Metallograph Animated Decal, and three new Goal Explosions! But the journey doesn't end there. Unlock the Pro Tiers beyond Tier 70 and get Painted and Special Edition versions of select Rocket Pass 5 items!

Your challenge awaits. Rocket Pass 5 has brand new Weekly Challenges in both the free and Rocket Pass Premium tracks. You'll be able to complete Weekly Challenges from previous weeks throughout Rocket Pass 5 to get to the Pro Tiers even faster, just like in Rocket Pass 4.

Upgrade to Rocket Pass Premium for 1000 Credits, or get a headstart on your journey with the Premium Bundle and a 12-Tier Boost for 2000 Credits. Since Credits are replacing Keys on December 4, Credits have been added to Rocket Pass. You can now earn up to 1000 Credits in Rocket Pass Premium.

Rocket Pass 4 ends on December 3 (the day before the Blueprint Update), so there's still time to get the Pro Tiers if you haven't yet. Rocket Pass 5 will begin on December 4 following the update. So, stay focused, train hard, and get ready for your Rocket Pass 5 journey!

Rocket League isn't slowing down to end 2019. Blueprints, Rocket Pass 5, the new Item Shop, and more are all coming next month! Get ready for the Blueprint Update on December 4 (pending first-party certification) on all platforms.

Once the update goes live at 10 a.m. PST (5 p.m. UTC), Crates are out and Blueprints are in, and any Keys you have will convert to Credits. Here's everything you need to know to get ready for update day.


As soon as the update goes live, be sure to check your inventory. All items from Supersonic Fury, Revenge of the Battle-Cars, and Chaos Run DLC Packs will be added to all accounts on all platforms. Enjoy the extra cars and additional items!


Following the Blueprint Update, Blueprints will start to drop after select Online Matches. These new drops will show you a specific item that can then be built for Credits. You can build the item, trade it to a friend, or just keep it in your inventory.

Any unopened Crates you have in your inventory will be converted to unrevealed Blueprints of the same series, which you can reveal at no cost. You can find your revealed and unrevealed Blueprints in the new Blueprints tab in your inventory.

Keys that you own will automatically convert to our new in-game currency called Credits. Credits can be used to build Blueprints, buy items from the Item Shop, or upgrade to Rocket Pass Premium. One Key will convert to 100 Credits.

Since this is a major conversion of items, Crates will stop dropping and all purchases in Rocket League will be disabled for 25 hours leading up to the update beginning at 9 a.m. PST (5 p.m. UTC) on December 3. This includes the purchase of Keys and DLC Packs, player-to-player trades, trade-ins, and the ability to interact with any Crates you own. All Rocket League online playlists will still be up and running.

Trade-ins (trading five items for one item of a higher rarity) for items received from Crates will no longer be possible following the update. That means this is your last chance to trade in any duplicate Crate items before December 3. Free post-game drops will still be available for trade-in after the update.

With all new items hitting your inventories, you'll have a new place to put things you don't want to see. The update will bring the ability to archive your items. Archived items will be kept in the new Archive tab in your inventory.


The Item Shop is nearly open for business! Once the update goes live, you'll be able to check out this new storefront and browse in-game items that will rotate on a daily basis. Soon, you'll be able to see the exact price of an item and if it's Painted, Certified, or both! For more information on the Item Shop, check out our in-depth look.

The arrival of the Item Shop means the Showroom is leaving. This includes all current Premium DLC Packs. These items will no longer be available for purchase as packs. Items from Premium DLC Packs may return for individual sale in the Item Shop at a later date.


The Blueprint Update will start to draw the scene for Rocket Pass 5, which will begin the same day as the update. Stay tuned for Rocket Pass 5's full reveal next week.


Competitive Season 13 begins on the day of the update, which means Competitive Season 12 is coming to a close at 8 a.m. PST (2 p.m. UTC) on December 4.

The arrival of Season 13 means it's time to distribute Season 12 Rewards, which will be granted shortly after the update. You still have time to earn your Season 12 Decals. Just make sure you complete your placement matches in a Competitive Playlist and fulfill the appropriate Season Reward Level by December 4. Good luck out there!

We hope you're excited for our last big update of 2019. Make sure to finish the year strong and get ready for 2020!

We announced the arrival of the Item Shop when we first revealed Blueprints, and there's plenty to unveil prior to December's update. The Item Shop coming to Rocket League is an all-new way to browse in-game items to buy the exact item you've been looking for. Here's a rundown of important information you'll need to know...

To start, the Showroom is out and the Item Shop is in. The Item Shop will be accessible from the main menu. Here, you'll see Featured items on a 48-hour timer and Daily items on a 24-hour timer. Once the timer expires, new items will enter the Shop. The Item Shop will include all types of in-game items for Rocket League, like Painted Cars, Player Banners, Exotic Wheels, Goal Explosions and everything in between.

Each item will have a listed Credit value that will show how much the item costs to purchase. Prior to purchasing, you'll see if that item is a Painted, Certified, and/or Special Edition variant; which means, for example, you'll know you're getting a Titanium White car and what it costs before you buy it.

As we shared in our previous announcement, Keys that are still in your inventory on the day of the update will be converted to Credits. Each Key will convert to 100 Credits that can be used in the Item Shop, to build items from Blueprints, or upgrade to Rocket Pass Premium. You can buy packs of Credits just like you could Keys, plus you can earn them in Rocket Pass Premium. Here are the packs that will be available for purchase:

• 500 Credits - $4.99 USD or region equivalent
  
• 1100 Credits - $9.99 USD or regional equivalent
  
• 3000 Credits - $24.99 USD or regional equivalent
  
• 6500 Credits - $49.99 USD or regional equivalent

Following next month's update, all Premium DLC Packs will no longer be available for purchase. If you already own any items from the DLC Packs, you will still have those items in your inventory. Items from Premium DLC Packs may return for individual sale in the Item Shop at a later date. As for Esports Shop Items, those will still have their own space in the Esports Shop tab and will continue to be available for Esports Tokens.

Between Blueprints and the Item Shop, there's a lot of new content coming to Rocket League in the next month. We hope you've been keeping up with all the latest info and you're ready to take to the field in December and the new year!
