Hey folks! Starting right now, a new US Central server region is live in Rocket League! We know this has been a longtime ask from North American players, and we’re excited to bring the new region online.
Servers for Online Matches: Servers in US Central are located in Illinois, Iowa, and Texas. With the new region online, Illinois and Texas servers originally located in US East are now part of US Central. To check out the new server region, open the Casual or Competitive Cards in the Play Menu, select Regions, and choose US Central on the list.
Tournament Servers: With the new region coming online, the location of Tournament servers is not changing – US Tournament servers will continue to be hosted in Illinois, Iowa, and Texas as they’ve always been.
You can ensure you're seeing the correct Tournament schedule by going to Settings > Gameplay > Tournament Schedule Region. From there, players in North America should select US East, US Central, or US West to see the Tournament schedule best for them. After choosing one of the three US regions, the region listed on the Tournament Details page should appear as “US-Central.”
Thanks everyone, and let us know what you think of the new region once you have a chance to check it out!

A CITY OF CHALLENGES
Wear your favorite team’s colors with pride! There are ten different Season Mode-themed Decals you can unlock by completing City Slam Challenges.
Octane drivers, look explosive with the Bombers Decal, show off your fast driving with the Express Decal, bear your teeth with the Kodiaks Decal, or brandish your tusks with the Mammoths Decal.
If you prefer to step into a Merc, rule over the pitch with the Dragons Decal or defend your party’s honor with the Guardians Decal. Meanwhile, Dominus drivers can demonstrate their nobility with the Knights Decal, look ghoulish with the Phantoms Decal, or set their goal on obliteration with the Destroyers Decal. And we’re not forgetting Breakout, which becomes part of the pack with the Wolves Decal!
Challenges are even better with trophies. For taking down one of City Slam’s toughest Challenges (Play 20 Online Matches), you’ll earn a Golden Cup you can open in your inventory to unlock items from the Accelerator, Turbo, or Triumph Series. You can complete this Challenge up to five times, so clear your trophy case for five shining Golden Cups 🏆
For you extra competitive Soccar players, there’s also an unlimited Win 10 Online Matches Challenge that rewards a suspension-busting 20,000 XP each time.

CITY SLAM FOR A SPIN
When a team can be defeated, things get heated! Head to the City Slam tab of the Item Shop to browse Decals showing the Season Mode teams’ fiery passion for victory—an inferno of neon flames that light up even the darkest Soccar pitch. All the Decals below are animated!
The Wolves (City Slam) Dingo Decal is the perfect example, with fearsome fangs at the front and a blue blaze at the rear. Matching its primal energy is the Kodiaks (City Slam) Dominus Decal, which roars into the arena with all the ferocity you’d expect from a flaming bear. If you really want to feel the heat, check out the Dragons (City Slam) Fennec Decal which sports a bright blue blaze that perfectly matches its mythological origins. The only thing that can go toe to toe is the Guardians (City Slam) Fennec Decal, which covers your Car Body in flowing lava. If you’re after a paint job that won’t have you reaching for the air con, then look no further than the Bombers (City Slam) Octane Decal which trades fierce flames for shocking sparks. Equally shocking is the Mammoths (City Slam) Dingo Decal that’ll electrif-eye around the pitch. You may also want to consider the Express (City Slam) Octane Decal, which dials down the temperature but still dons animated smoke. Your rivals will want to hit the brakes once they spot the Phantoms (City Slam) Dominus Decal’s sinister skull and the Destroyers (City Slam) Dominus Decal’s ominous glow. The Knights (City Slam) Dominus Decal isn’t for the faint of heart either, with an axe-wielding armored warrior that will help you “chop” your way to victory.
And remember, a team is nothing without its fanbase to cheer them on, so show your love with the “Need You” Player Anthem by Nostalgix.
Not sure who to support? Be every team’s biggest fan by picking up the City Slam Mega Bundle, which contains all the Item Shop City Slam Decals.
If you’re looking for Car Bodies to use the Decals on, roll on up to the Car Show tab in the Item Shop! -- Hit the pitch like you’re hittin’ the town. City Slam runs from March 26 to April 9.

It’s almost time to brave the depths as we jet underwater for the launch of Rocket League Season 14! This Season makes its splash March 6.
In Season 14, explore a new edition of the AquaDome Arena. There’s plenty of customization options in the sea—dive into the driving seats of two new sports cars as you ride the slipstream in this Season’s Rocket Pass Premium!
Upon purchase of Rocket Pass Premium, you’ll net yourself the Admiral Car Body. Make your way through the Tiers to unlock the Mako Car Body and other items like the Snorkel Mask Topper, Scale-Veil Decal, and the Atlantis Goal Explosion. (There’s a lot to get lost in.)
NOTE: Admiral uses the Dominus hitbox, and Mako uses the Breakout hitbox. These Car Bodies will soon be eligible for cross-game ownership between Rocket League and Fortnite!

This Season, the deeper you dive, the more you’ll find. Ready to hear what else is waiting for you? Let’s jump in!

LESS SHARKS, MORE VIBES – STEER INTO SALTY SHALLOWS
A new location of the AquaDome Arena was found near the coast of Salty Shores! Welcome to AquaDome (Salty Shallows), where you’ll be much closer to the surface of the sea.
With the shallower water, this different AquaDome environment certainly feels more relaxed with fewer apex predators circling the stadium. The new lighting in and around the stadium reflects this level of serenity, as does a carefully curated playlist of Lofi house tunes including this Season’s theme song “Ghost” by Monstercat artist, Direct. You’ll also hear new music from zensei ゼンセ, rshand, Angara, Bound to Divide, Skybreak, and Dani Demand!
ROCKET PASS PREMIUM
Get ready for watery raves and jamming with the clams. By going up the Rocket Pass Premium Tiers, you can submerge yourself in a treasure chest of aquatic-themed items: Keep it reel with the Admiral Car Body and make a fuss with the Mako Car Body, two sports cars so slick they’ll leave your opponents gasping for air. Angling for a new aesthetic? Swim alongside the shoals with the Fishscale Paint Finish and Kelp Antenna.
If you fancy a title change, you can rock the Cool Captain Title or hang loose with the Swag Surfer Title. Keep AquaDome’s lofi feel going with the Gulf Stream Groove Player Anthem!
To really start the party, spin up the Tidal Rave Goal Explosion or immerse the Arena with the takeover Atlantis Goal Explosion.
All the rewards mentioned above are just some of the rewards you can unlock. With 70+ Tiers of rewards across free and Premium, the treasure is bountiful!

TOURNEY REWARDS: NOW WITH MORE LASERS
The sea keeps things cool, but you know what else is cool? Lasers. And you’ll find plenty of them among Season 14’s Tournament Rewards.
Unlock a laser ball Goal Explosion. Laser beam Boost. A laser Trail too. Light up the AquaDome with laser-focused items and more rewards! Rocket League Season 14 runs from March 6 to June 5. Turn the tides (...and your wheels) towards victory! -- Blog Link with Trailer
As we wrap up a nostalgia filled season on grassy Farmstead, Wasteland, and Mannfield Arenas, we have some fresh Season 13 Competitive Rewards for you. For the first time players have the opportunity to earn Beat-Synced Decals as Season Rewards. These Decals react to whatever track you’re jamming to in-game, so pump it up and enjoy!
Quick reminder, if you’re not quite sure how Season Rewards work - Make sure you complete your ten placement matches to be placed in a rank, and then fulfill your appropriate Season Reward Level at that rank (10 wins for each rank beginning with Bronze).
Like past seasons, Season 13 Rewards will also grant Titles for players at the Grand Champion and Supersonic Legend Rank. Here's the complete Season Rewards Breakdown:
SEASON 13 REWARDS
Bronze I or higher: S13 – Bronze Beat-Synced Decal
Silver I or higher: S13 – Silver Beat-Synced Decal + lower rewards
Gold I or higher: S13 – Gold Beat-Synced Decal + lower rewards
Platinum I or higher: S13 – Platinum Beat-Synced Decal + lower rewards
Diamond I or higher: S13 – Diamond Beat-Synced Decal + lower rewards
Champion I or higher: S13 – Champion Beat-Synced Decal + lower rewards
Grand Champion I: S13 – Grand Champion Beat-Synced Decal + lower rewards
Following the release of the Arcade Playlists, we saw a lot of feedback about the desire to more meaningfully influence the Extra Modes in these slots. And while we understand some players want their favorite modes in the game permanently, it’s important that we balance the number of active modes to ensure high quality matches and reasonable matchmaking times.
Today we’re excited to introduce the new Dueling Arcade Playlist system to help address the above feedback. This new system allows the community to keep a favorite mode in the game almost indefinitely! Like before, there are two Arcade Playlists that rotate through existing Extra Modes. With the new system, the most popular mode after a week will remain available the next week, while the less popular one will cycle out and return at a later date.
If the two Extra Modes are generally unpopular on a given week, we’ll replace both the next week with Extra Modes we expect will be more exciting to the community.
What if there’s an LTM active? The LTM will replace one of the Arcade Playlist slots and the dueling Arcade Playlists system will be paused.
The first two Extra Modes in this new system are Speed Demon and Rocket Labs Medley. We hope this system helps you get more play time with your favorite modes!

THAT’S NOT ALL - SEASON 13 SEASON RUSH STARTS SOON!
The next Rocket League Season quickly draws closer, but there’s still time to level up in Season 13! To help you out, Season 13 Season Rush starts February 22 at 9 AM PT and ends 6 PM PT on March 4. Complete 12 Challenges that’ll automatically level you up after completing each one. Plus, double XP is in effect for all online matches for the whole Season Rush.
Get your last-minute blasts from the millennium past — Season 13 ends March 6 (instead of the previously communicated March 5). Stay tuned for details on the next Season!

CHANGES AND UPDATES
NEW MINIMUM LEVEL FOR COMPETITIVE PLAYLIST
To ensure that players are spending a reasonable amount of time acclimating to Rocket League before jumping into the ranked experience, we changed the minimum level requirement for the Competitive Playlist to Level 20 (up from the previous level requirement of 10).
In addition, we have changed the design that previously allowed players to play ranked if they were partied with an individual above the minimum level requirement. Now, no player below the level threshold (20) will be able to enter the ranked experience.
Party leaders with a member below the level threshold will see their playlist locked and will need to queue in the Casual Playlist.
Updated Minimum Level Messaging - To convey these new restrictions, players will see new messaging in Rocket League when queuing for the Competitive Playlist.
While solo (not in a party) the new messaging will read: “You must be Level 20 or higher.”
While in a party, the new messaging will read: “All party members must be Level 20 or higher.”
These messages will be displayed to any player who is below Level 20 / any party leader in a party with someone who is below Level 20.
DISABLING “LEAVE TOURNAMENT” BUTTON AT END OF MATCH
In order to prevent players from receiving negative consequences, such as temporary bans from tournaments/matchmaking, or losing earned tournament rewards, we will now grey out/disable the “Leave Tournament'' button at the 0:00 gameplay mark of Tournament matches.
This will ensure your rewards are earned and all data is properly populated so you can jump right into your next match.

Mandalorian Mayhem runs for two weeks starting February 7. We have spoken.
As we’re a full month into the New Year, it's time for Rocket League’s first game update of 2024 and a look at some of what’s coming! Tomorrow’s game update adds a new anti-smurfing measure: a higher Competitive Minimum Level Requirement. The update also refreshes the Esports Shop for the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) 2024 Season. Read on for more details! --
NEW MINIMUM LEVEL FOR THE COMPETITIVE PLAYLIST
We’ve seen a lot of community chatter lately around allowing players to bypass the minimum level required to play in the Competitive Playlist by partying up with other players. Smurfing is something that we know is frustrating, so we wanted to share a bit of the design philosophy behind that original decision and why we are making some changes in tomorrow’s update.
The Competitive Minimum Level Requirement was introduced when Rocket League became playable for free in 2020 and was meant to serve a couple of purposes. While we wanted to make it more difficult to smurf, one of the main goals was to make sure that new players were not blocked from playing with friends. The Casual experience back then was rife with early quitting and was considered by many as a less enjoyable experience.
We therefore made the decision to let players experience Rocket League in the best way possible at that time, with friends in the Competitive Playlist.
At that time we also started making changes to the Casual Playlist, with the goal of making it an equally enjoyable experience to Competitive play. We now feel we’ve reached that goal, and because of that, our thinking has changed around the need to allow players to bypass the Competitive Minimum Level Requirement.
In tomorrow’s update, the Competitive Minimum Level Requirement will be raised from Level 10 to Level 20, and now every player in a Party will need to be Level 20 or higher in order to queue for the Competitive Playlist. These changes are some of several gameplay improvements we are working on this year to minimize behavior that can lead to unfair matches. --
