Rocket League Season 3 Is Now Live, Full Patch Notes Released

Rocket League's Season 3 has begun on all platforms, including both Steam and Epic Games Store as well as consoles, and it's available as a server-side update without a download on your part. Season 3 features the new Rocket Pass, a new arena, new tournaments, and new challenges to complete. You can see the full patch notes now.

As part of the Season 3 Rocket Pass, the new Tyranno vehicle will be available. It makes use of the Dominus hitbox, based on the vehicle released as DLC several years ago. The new arena DFH Stadium (Circuit) is available across free play, online playlists, and private matches, as well. The season will also feature Nascar and F1 content. The circuit design of the arena certainly fits the Nascar themes.

Pro tiers have been adjusted in order to remove "uncertainty from in-game purchases," according to Psyonix. This means consistent rewards for all players, and making those rewards visible before you unlock them.

The first challenges for Season 3 are live now, as have the competitive modes. Season 3 tournaments, including new rewards and titles, have been added, as well, and the scoreboard has been changed to make it easier to read.

Rocket League Season 3 is live on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The full patch notes are below:

Competitive

• Season 3 Competitive has begun
• Season 3 Changes

    • Adjusted MMR thresholds to address underpopulation in Diamond ranks and above. These ranks were significantly less populated than in previous seasons, so we are bringing their requirements into line for Season 3.
    • Each Tier from Champion I through Grand Champion III will have a slightly wider MMR range than in Season 2
    • Supersonic Legend is not affected by these changes

    • Each tier’s MMR range is now narrower to better reflect the skill distribution of these playlists. In practice, this means that Champion+ ranks are reachable at lower MMR numbers.

    • High-Tier players will not drop as much with this soft reset compared to previous Seasons
