It's hard to believe Rocket League is approaching its fifth birthday next month! With this major milestone on the horizon, we want to let our community know now that there's a lot to look forward to in the second half of 2020, including new and updated features coming to the game.

We're working on a big update to Rocket League later this summer, and while we're not quite ready to reveal everything coming to the game just yet, be on the lookout over the next few months. However, we are excited to announce that we'll be celebrating Rocket League's Fifth Anniversary with a two-week event starting at the end of this month with Limited Time Modes, and Rocket League- and Psyonix-themed items in the event store. These items and modes will be revealed in the next few weeks.

There will be a small game update going live tomorrow in preparation for the Fifth Anniversary event, plus a new Item Series that we'll reveal next week. The update will go live on all platforms tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. PDT (5 p.m. UTC).

We're very excited to talk about what we're working on as we get closer to the major update, so stay tuned this summer as we'll have plenty of info to share!

At last, the fan-favorite Limited Time Mode, Heatseeker, has returned for the final weekend of the Modes of May! And that's not all. 2XP Weekend will be live throughout the weekend too!

In case you missed it when it debuted in April, Heatseeker is a rapid 3v3 mode where the ball automatically seeks the net. Every time the ball is touched, or it hits the backboard, it increases speed, so be ready to send it back to your opponents. First to seven goals wins! You can find the Limited Time mode in the Play Online menu under the Heatseeker tab.

Heatseeker, along with all other Online Modes, will grant double the amount of base experience via the "+100% special event XP Bonus." This includes all Casual, Competitive, and Extra Mode Playlists.

Both Heatseeker and 2XP are live now and will last until Tuesday, May 26 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). Enjoy both before they're gone. Good luck and have fun!

Close out the Modes of May with an XP Boost! A 2XP Weekend will go live starting Thursday at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC), and will last an extra day through Memorial Day! 

It all starts at the same time Heatseeker, the fan-favorite Limited Time Mode, returns. Heatseeker, along with all other Online Modes, will grant double the amount of base experience via the "+100% special event XP Bonus." This includes all Casual, Competitive, and Extra Mode Playlists. 

Check out the official start and end times below, and enjoy Heatseeker and 2XP through the weekend!

• 2XP Start Time: Thursday, May 21 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC)
  
• 2XP End Time: Tuesday, May 26 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC)

 

Here comes the BOOM! Boomer Ball is live all weekend as part of Rocket League's Modes of May!

Popularized by the Rocket League community, Boomer Ball has fun with mutators and puts a high-flying, lightning-fast twist on 3v3 soccar. Boost amount is unlimited and is now 1.5x stronger than typical boost. That means it launches you farther and faster than the standard boost you're used to. The ball speed is set to super fast, bounciness is increased to super high, and ball physics are super light. Touch the ball and see just how far and fast you can launch it!

Enjoy Boomer Ball until Monday, May 18 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). Find it in the Boomer Ball tab in the Play Online menu. Check back next week when the Modes of May wraps up with Heatseeker! Have fun with Boomer Ball!

Get ready for the BOOM! Boomer Ball is going live as the third Limited Time Mode featured during the Modes of May. Before it goes live on Thursday, here's everything you need to know about Rocket League's newest mode.

Boomer Ball plays with mutators to put a high-flying, lightning-fast twist on 3v3 soccar. Boost amount is unlimited and is now 1.5x stronger than typical boost. That means it launches you farther and faster than the standard boost you're used to. The ball speed is set to super fast, bounciness is increased to super high, and ball physics are super light. Touch the ball and see just how far and fast you can launch it! Other than that, standard soccar rules apply.

Boomer Ball was popularized by Rocket League's creative community, so we're excited to add it as a casual Online Playlist this weekend. Look out for it starting Thursday at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC) until Monday at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). We hope you enjoy this frantic Limited Time Mode throughout the weekend!

Who's up for some fun in the sun? Beach Ball is live in Rocket League now until Monday, May 11 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC). It's the second Limited Time Mode featured during the Modes of May!

Hit the beaches of Salty Shores in this feelgood, 2v2 mode. The typical Rocket League ball has been transformed into a beach ball, making it lighter and causing hits to curve. The curves can be difficult to predict, so be ready!

You can find the unranked mode in the Play Online menu under the Beach Ball tab. Matches played will grant the same amount of XP as other modes, so you'll still Tier Up your Rocket Pass at the same speed as other Playlists.

Different Limited Time Modes will be featured each weekend throughout the Modes of May. Be sure to play later this month when Boomer Ball and Heatseeker arrive! Good luck, and have fun!

Two fan-favorites collide to kick off the Modes of May in Rocket League! Check out a different Limited Time Mode featured each weekend throughout the month! First up: Dropshot Rumble!

Just like the name suggests, the two Extra Modes have collided for the action of Dropshot enhanced by the zany power-ups from Rumble. Enjoy the Limited Time Mode all weekend long! The mode is live now and will be playable until Monday, May 4 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC).

Like other Limited Time Modes, each mode will be Unranked and found in a separate tab in the Play Online menu. They will also grant the same amount of XP as all other Online Playlists, so you'll still Tier Up your Rocket Pass 6 level as usual. Good luck out there!

May is just around the corner, and we're celebrating by introducing the Modes of May! Starting May 1, you'll find different Limited Time Modes (LTM) in Rocket League each weekend throughout the month.

It all starts this Friday with Dropshot Rumble. Just like the name suggests, the two Extra Modes have collided for the action of Dropshot enhanced by the zany power-ups from Rumble. Enjoy the Limited Time Mode all weekend long!

Then, look out for Beach Ball mode on May 7. If you missed it during Radical Summer last year, Beach Ball Mode features 2v2 fun in the sun where the ball floats and curves just like a beach ball. May 14 unveils the community favorite Boomer Ball (more on that as we get closer), and the month comes to a close with the return of Heatseeker on May 21.

Each mode will begin at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC) on their respective launch days, and will end at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC) on their end dates. Like other Limited Time Modes, each mode will be Unranked and found in a separate tab in the Play Online menu. They will also grant the same amount of XP as all other Online Playlists, so you'll still Tier Up your Rocket Pass 6 level as usual.

Take a look below for the schedule during the Modes of May:

• May 1 - May 4: Dropshot Rumble
  
• May 7 - May 11: Beach Ball
  
• May 14 - May 18: Boomer Ball
  
• May 21 - May 26: Heatseeker

Get ready for this collection of new and returning Limited Time Modes in the Modes of May!

Rocket League's brand new Limited Time Mode called Heatseeker is locked and loaded! Jump into this ballistic, 3v3 mode all weekend long!

The ball automatically seeks the opposing net when it's hit. But, make sure you don't miss the goal! If it hits the backboard, it will fire back toward your own goal. Think fast, because the ball gains speed every time it's touched by a player or a backboard. First team to seven goals wins!

And that's not all. Log into Rocket League any time Heatseeker is live and receive the Hypnoteks Player Banner for free! Check out the official start and end times below. Matches played in Heatseeker will grant the same amount of XP as Casual, Competitive, or Extra Mode playlists, so you'll still unlock your Rocket Pass 6 Tiers as you normally would. Good luck, have fun!

• Heatseeker Starts: Thursday, April 16 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC)
  
• Heatseeker Ends: Monday, April 20 at 9 a.m. PDT (4 p.m. UTC)
