The NFL and Rocket League are getting ready for the big game next week with the NFL Super Bowl LV Celebration! It's a Rocket League event that's bringing the brand new game mode, Gridiron, Event Challenges, and the return of the NFL Fan Pack. It all starts February 2 and will be live until February 8.



Champions Field has been transformed for this new LTM, complete with hash marks and the NFL logo at the 50-yard line. [WHISTLE BLOWS] Now huddle up! It's time to learn the rules of Gridiron mode:

• Gridiron is 4 on 4.
  
  
• The standard Rocket League ball has been replaced with an American football.
  
  
• Touching the ball attaches it to the roof of your car. In Spike Rush, the ball would attach to wherever your car made contact, but in Gridiron it will always attach to your roof.
  
  
• If any player touches the ball, that player becomes the ball carrier, setting up the opportunity for hand-offs to teammates or steals by the other team.
  
  
• The carrier can single jump, but double jumping drops the ball. You can also pass the ball by dodging.
  
  
• Each goal is 3 or 7 points: 7 points are awarded if the ball is attached to a player when entering the opponent's goal, and 3 points are awarded if the ball is passed in or if the ball is loose. All own-goals are worth 3 points whether the ball is attached or it's loose.
  
  
• Demos require Supersonic speed just like in standard modes.
  
  
• Stay in bounds! You'll fumble the ball if you cross the line marked on the Arena wall.

Now throw on your pads, get out there, and have some fun! Plus, we're adding three Event Challenges that can be completed to unlock the Gridiron Guru Player Title, NFL Wheels, and 20,000 XP! These Challenges and the Gridiron LTM Playlist are live from February 2 through February 8.


Don't worry if you missed out on the NFL Fan Pack the first time it was available. It will return to the Item Shop during the NFL Super Bowl LV Celebration from February 2 through February 8. Be sure to check it out in-game! Equip your favorite team's Decal, hit the Gridiron, and be sure to share some of your wild highlights! Mention @RocketLeague on Twitter using the hashtag #RLGridiron. HUT HUT HIKE!

The next game update for Rocket League is set to arrive on all platforms on February 1 (pending first-party certification). It's bringing some new content and a few QOL improvements. First up, we're happy to announce the arrival of an item that's been requested for a long time: Fennec Decals in the Esports Shop!

Once the update goes live, players will be able to get Fennec Decals for all teams featured in the Esports Shop! Each Fennec Decal will be available for 300 Esports Tokens. Check them out in all their glory in the images below. Don't forget, the Esports Shop no longer rotates, so you can browse and buy all items for all available teams.

Based on recent player feedback, we've become aware that the effects and lighting in Neon Fields can negatively impact the game experience for some players. To ensure that Rocket League remains enjoyable for all players, we're adding a new settings option called "Effect Intensity" that adjusts the intensity and motion of visuals for this Arena. Following the update, players will be able to change this setting to "Default" or "Low." The "Low" setting makes the following changes:

• Disables all pulsing effects
  
  
• Disables all flashing lights
  
  
• Reduces or disables moving FX/lights/background visuals
  
  
• Reduces brightness or intensity of background lights

Be on the lookout for the next game update on February 1 at 4 p.m. PST (February 2 at 12 a.m. UTC).

Introducing Rocket Labs, the latest series of Limited Time Modes that's available to check out right now! Veterans of Rocket League may remember Rocket Lab Arenas from years past. Now, it's back as an LTM playlist. For new players, Rocket Labs are experimental Arenas that can drastically change the playing field by adding obstacles or changing the shape of the field entirely.

The Rocket Labs playlist will come and go as an LTM in the future, bringing new types of Arenas and modes. First up this weekend is Soccar on Galleon—a throwback to an Arena originally found in Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. The original Galleon, which resembled a pirate ship, has been reimagined for Rocket League. The mast from the original has been removed, but players can still hit the raised decks behind both goals. Be sure to check it out in the LTM playlist all weekend long!

The Galleon Rocket Labs LTM Playlist will be available until Monday, January 18 at 6 p.m. PST (2 a.m UTC January 19). You can expect Rocket Labs to return as an LTM in the future with new twists on arenas, even throwing mutators into the mix. Enjoy rocking the boat on Galleon this weekend!
