From the studio that brought you Rocket League, Psyonix proudly presents Season 6, an all-new adventure featuring our beloved cast of cars. This season introduces an animation-themed Rocket Pass featuring the new Nomad van, along with a never-before-seen Neo Tokyo (Comic) Variant Arena. As the season continues, we’ll release items from the Fornax Series, uncage the legendary Black Fennec, and introduce a smashing Mid-Season Event that showcases a New Game Mode.
Coming soon to own on Wednesday, March 9 at 8 a.m. PST (4 p.m. UTC) and DVD.
COMING UP NEXT
This Season’s Rocket Pass is packed tighter than a clown car. Fans of the Merc Hitbox rejoice! We’re going cross country with the bouncing Nomad van, complete with road trip stickers on the Well Traveled Decal.
Be careful while channel surfing—the mysterious Nomster has been spreading rapidly through the game. We’re not exactly sure WHAT he is yet, but he’s showing up in new Wheels, a Goal Explosion, even a new Antenna that somehow devours the grille of the Nomad! Not cool Nomster, not cool!
BONUS FEATURES
The fun doesn’t stop with the Rocket Pass; we’ve got the Fornax Series coming into play as Blueprints shortly after the Season begins. Featuring the stylish Mamba Car, this series mixes new and old with some totally re-imagined classics. Slip on a pair of Pixelated Shades: Multichrome or get holographic with the new Troika: Roasted Wheels. We’ve also got a new Shade Raid Goal Explosion that transforms every match into the pages of a comic book.
Arenas are undergoing a bit of a transformation as well, as the new Neo Tokyo (Comic) Variant comes into the game.
A new batch of Tournament Rewards is rolling in, and it’s a whole bag of tricks. Toilet paper rolls, heavy dumbbells, and wheels full of teeth all mix together to make some of our zaniest rewards yet.
Don’t touch that dial! Season 6 has another surprise in store. Later this Season, a new Limited Time Event will debut, releasing an entirely new Mode that’s sure to be a smash hit. Details to come, but for now, we’ll just say we hope you like bumping!
AVAILABLE IN THE ITEM SHOP
It looks like the devs used permanent marker on this one. That’s right, the much anticipated Black Fennec is coming to the Item Shop in Season 6, so get your credits ready. This instant classic will pair perfectly with your favorite Esports Decals and Titanium White Wheels.
We’re also bringing in new Starter and Standard Bundles packed full of classic items like the Jäger 619, Toon-Hydro Trail, Toon Goal Explosion (Titanium White), and more!
Season 6 kicks off Wednesday, March 9 following a game update on March 8 at 4 p.m PST.
I COULD DEFEAT YOU… BUT INSTEAD, I WILL SIMPLY…. DEMO YOU.
In the dark tunnels below Wayne Manor, a masked man sits alone in contemplative silence. Taking advantage of the momentary lull in crime, he reaches towards his dual-monitor control center, quickly booting up his favorite rocket-powered car soccer game. Little does our hero realize that this respite shall be short-lived, for on March 2 Gotham City will come face-to-face with villains of supersonic ability...
THE BATMAN BUNDLE
The Bat-Signal shines high over Beckwith Park, signifying the nightly prowl of the Caped Crusader. Locals have seen him cruising in a whole new ride for 2022, designed in secret by Wayne Industries. This updated Batmobile seems to feature an American-muscle-inspired body, screen-accurate Paint Finishes, and a Goal Explosion utilizing the Dark Knight’s newest symbol. A secret informer we’ll call Alfredyay Ennyworthpay leaked the specs for the newest vehicle:

GOTHAM CITY RUMBLE LTM
With the gates of Arkham Asylum unlocked, madness has spilled onto the Rocket League Arenas once again, transforming this noble game into the deadly Gotham City Rumble.
Power-ups in this LTM work the same as Rumble but are themed after the many villains of Batman’s past. Rack up easy clears with The Joker’s Boxing Glove, grapple through the air with Poison Ivy’s Vines, or slingshot the ball behind you with the Bat-Grapel. Just don’t let Clayface Spikes slip past you for a goal.
Will you become the hero Rocket League needs? Batman is back on March 2.
The Batman Bundle and Gotham City Rumble will be available Wednesday, March 2 at 9 a.m. PST (5 p.m. UTC) to Tuesday, March 8 at 6 p.m. PST (March 9 at 2 a.m. UTC)

SUPER BOWL LVI IS ALMOST HERE, BUT DON’T WORRY. THERE’S STILL A LOT OF FOOTBALL LEFT.
Pull up to the tailgate, swing by the cooler, and get grilling, ‘cause Rocket League is laying out this year’s Super Bowl game plan.

Rocket League is celebrating Black History Month all month long with new FREE Player Anthems in the Item Shop! These new Player Anthems, which feature historic artists and songs that have influenced hundreds of hits throughout the years, will be available all month long for free in the "Behind The Samples" tab in-game.
This new collection of songs called "Behind The Samples" includes famous funk groups Detroit Emeralds, Ohio Players, and The Winstons. Even if you haven't heard their original hits (and we highly recommend you listen to them ASAP), you've probably heard popular songs that have borrowed the beat or melody.
The Detroit Emeralds were active in the '60s and '70s and made several hits that reached the R&B Top 10 as well as the pop charts at the time. Their songs live on today through samples used by Kendrick Lamar, Common, Nas, and many others.
The Winstons are a Grammy-winning group out of Washington, D.C. The group is best known for their drum solos, especially the famous “Amen Break” sample. This 6-second section is the most sampled piece of music of all time and was a key ingredient in creating the Drum and Bass and Jungle genres.
The Ohio Players formed in Dayton, Ohio, and are members of the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame. The group has had nearly a dozen albums hit the top 100 U.S. Pop Chart, including 1974's "Fire" that reached number 1.
Here are the three songs included in the collection:
Claim these Player Anthems now through the end of the month. We hope you enjoy hearing these classics as we honor these legendary musicians that changed music forever.
And that's not all! We're partnering up with Rocket League community members Dazerin, TBates, Roll Dizz, and Jayski to run special events and to make awesome content all month long. For starters, First Touch will feature special Black History Month content pieces throughout all shows in February. Stay tuned to the First Touch podcast on Wednesdays to hear more about plans and events throughout the month!
We hope you enjoy these events and content all throughout Black History Month!
Cars have always been the main event in Rocket League, but a strong second is the game’s musical legacy. To celebrate our ever-evolving soundtrack, we’re introducing a new in-game event called Neon Nights that includes exciting Challenges, Golden Moons, a chaotic LTM, and unlockable Items featuring the immortal space princess GRIMES.
In collaboration with GRIMES' upcoming space opera, a super-intelligent deep space AI will begin transmitting Challenges directly into your life-sim, allowing you to unlock GRIMES-themed items. If our calculations are correct, they should arrive on Earth Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 9 a.m. PST (5 p.m. UTC)!
You’ll be ready to join the machines with the Gravitator and Space Queen Toppers, Braided Trail, GRIMES Decal, GRIMES Wheels, and GRIMES Player Banner. We’re also remixing some old favorites with the Fireworks (Multichrome) Universal Decal and Uncanny Boost. The future has arrived in force, but you’ll have a chance to showcase your humanity and unlock two new Player Anthems from GRIMES' upcoming album: "Player of Games" and "Shinigami Eyes."
And speaking of AI, it seems that aimbots have taken over the Rocket Labs Arenas! Jump into a wild match of Heatseeker Ricochet and go head-to-head in this chaotic LTM.
Throughout Neon Nights, you’ll also get a chance to earn Golden Moons, which unlock a mix of classic items from the Impact, Nitro, and Overdrive Item Series. Golden Moons work just like Golden Gifts from Frosty Fest. Complete the Challenge up to five times to earn Golden Moons, then open them in your Inventory to unlock items!
And finally, in celebration of Lunar New Year, the Rocket League team wishes everyone a 2022 filled with happiness, prosperity, and longevity. We’re also offering the Year of the Tiger Free Bundle in the Item Shop featuring the fearless Tiny Tiger Topper and Tyger Decal. Neon Nights will be bumping from Jan. 26 to Feb. 8, so sit back, buckle up, and pre-save “Shinigami Eyes” HERE!
