Rocket League Season 7 out now: New Limited Time Modes, Patch notes, Rocket Pass, Tournament Rewards & more

Since it was released in 2015 and pioneered a new genre, Rocket League has been the gift that keeps on giving. Over the last few months, Psyonix has teamed up with NASCAR, Formula 1, and Nissan to bring licensed content to the popular car football game.

In addition, regular season updates have helped retain a loyal fanbase, with limited-time modes adding new twists to familiar game types.

Season 7 kicks off today, bringing with it a new Rocket Pass, a new arena, and more. Let's dive in and see what's in-store in Rocket League Season 7.

Season 7 Rocket Pass

With Season 7 comes a new Rocket Pass with a luxury theme giving players ā€œa taste of the finer things in life.ā€ The new Rocket Pass introduces new cosmetic items such as Sushi Roller Wheels, an animated Aquarium Player Banner, Carat Cutter Wheels, a Marble Floor Decal, and a Kinda Big Deal Player Title.
