Rocket League – Season 16

Drift into the Woods

It's time to head to the great outdoors! Wait, did we say great? We meant to say foreboding. The Drift Woods Arena is in a forest for those who drifted in the wrong, very wrong direction. But don't worry — stay focused on the goal and you'll soon find your way out of the darkness towards victory. ⁠⁠You know what else can light up the dusk? Music. Season 16's new theme song "Lie" is full of weird and wild electronic melodies curated by Monstercat artists Mr. Bill & Culprate. You'll hear it on the Rocket League X Monstercat 2024 Playlist on Rocket League Radio, and it'll be appearing in the Featured Shop as a Player Anthem!

⁠A New Perspective on Demolition

One moment, you're zooming towards the goal, and the next, BOOM! You've been demolished and are respawning who knows where. In Season 16, the post-demolition camera is improved, tracking the journey from where your vehicle was destroyed to your respawn point. Drift Woods is mysterious, so that your respawn point doesn't have to be!

⁠Rocket Pass Premium

Whether it's monsters, ghouls, or witches — get ready to transform your vehicle into a mystical motor that brings an otherworldly aura wherever you drive. ⁠Who says that looking out of this world has to come from myths and legends? The BMW 1 Series Car Body and BMW 1 Series RLE Car Body look so slick on the pitch you'd be forgiven for thinking that magical forces were involved in their making. Each car's engine roars like the real thing too! Later this Season, all Rocket Pass Premium owners will receive a Decal for BMW 1 Series based on the winning entry from our Rocket League x BMW Decal Contest.
