Psyonix has deployed a new patch for Rocket League this week that adds the new Cartman’s Crash Out Limited-Time Event, as well as expanded preset slots. You can read the full Rocket League update 2.64 patch notes below for more details.
Rocket League originally launched in 2015 as a follow-up to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, and sees up to eight players duking it out using rocket-powered vehicles to whack the a ball into their opponents goal. The game has seen a huge amount of support post-launch since its original release, and by 2018 had reached 40 million players and sold 10 million units.
Psyonix announced that Rocket League would be transitioning to a free-to-play model across all formats in September 2020, with Cross-Progression also implemented for all cosmetic items players earned, as well as additional competitive tournaments at each rank.
