Rocket League Is Celebrating Fifth Anniversary with In-Game Event, Starts Tomorrow

Here's to another five

by Stephen Tailby Mon 29th Jun 2020

Rocket League married arcade driving to physics-based footie nearly five years ago on PlayStation 4, and it took the community by storm. The rest is history, and the game is still going strong as ever thanks to excellent post-launch support. To help celebrate the game's upcoming milestone, developer Psyonix is holding a special fifth anniversary event in the game, starting tomorrow, 30th June.

The event will go on for two weeks and will of course introduce a raft of new cosmetic items to earn. With balloons collected from playing matches, you can redeem these in the store for new bits and pieces inspired by Psyonix and Rocket League itself.

In addition, two limited time modes will be introduced. Spike Rush, which sees the ball stick to the spikes on all cars, and 2v2 Heatseeker, which turns Rocket League into more a game of Pong than soccer, will be available in playlists during the two-week period.

Will you be joining the festivities in Rocket League? Are you still playing after five years? Score an own goal in the comments section below.

For me Rocket League is my game of this generation. I've put more hours into the PS4 & Switch than any other game in nearly 20 years. I'm alright most of the time but can turn up with a worldy one minute and awful the next.
Simple, addictive and at the time FREE. Yeah the store and credit system if naff but at least its all cosmetic and gives no advantage.

Got all fingers crossed for the UE6 upgrade for PS5.
