With Rocket Pass 3 just around the corner, we wanted to let you know what to expect on April 17. Along with an entirely new line of Free and Premium items unique to this Rocket Pass, Weekly Challenges are also being added to the mix. These Challenges will allow players to Tier Up even faster. Before you eagerly take the field on day one, here is everything you need to know about Rocket Pass 3 and Weekly Challenges.

ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

Weekly Challenges will go live on the first day of Rocket Pass 3, and will add a new way to climb Tiers. Specifically, Tiers are now gained with a new Rocket League reward system, known as "Tier Points." Tier Points are earned by completing Challenges but they're also earned by gaining XP after Online Matches, similar to how it worked in Rocket Pass 1 and 2.

How does it work together now? Well, in Rocket Pass 3, each Tier requires 10 Tier Points to advance to the next Tier. Challenges will be worth three, five, and eight Tier Points depending on the difficulty of the Challenge. In addition to the Tier Points you gain from completing Weekly Challenges, you can also Tier-Up from XP as mentioned above. Every time you gain an XP level, you'll receive 10 Tier Points.

Weekly Challenges must be completed during the week in which they are active. They will expire once new Challenges become active during the following week. Rocket Pass 3 will still track your progress for Premium Weekly Challenges even if you have not purchased Rocket Pass Premium, but you will only receive the Tier Points from Premium Challenges once Rocket Pass Premium has been purchased. If you purchase Rocket Pass Premium late into Rocket Pass 3, you will receive the Tier Points from completed Premium Challenges in expired weeks. However, you will not be able to complete uncompleted Challenges once they expire.

The Challenge list will refresh each Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. UTC) throughout Rocket Pass 3. Check out a sneak peek at the Challenge Menu and the Weekly Challenges from Week 1 in the screenshot below.

Challenges Menu

ALL NEW ITEMS

Rocket Pass 3 will feature 20+ items in the Free track, and 50+ additional items in the Rocket Pass Premium Track, including the all-new Guardian Battle-Car. Plus, there are Decryptors to earn on the Free track and a total of 10 Keys in Rocket Pass Premium.

The Pro Tiers are back! Pro Tiers (i.e. past Tier 70) will grant Painted items from Rocket Pass 3, and will have a chance of being Certified or Special Edition. As always, rewards earned from the Pro Tiers in Rocket Pass 3 are tradable.

ROCKET PASS 3 AND CHALLENGES AT A GLANCE

If you prefer bullet points, here's the TL;DR version of Rocket Pass 3 and Weekly Challenges:

  • Rocket Pass Premium for Rocket Pass 3 is the same price as previous Rocket Passes (10 Keys).
  • Rocket Pass 3 will have both Free and Premium Tiers, just like Rocket Pass 1 and 2.
  • Rocket Pass 3 will have Weekly Challenges for both Free and Premium tracks.
  • The Free track will have three Weekly Challenges and those with Rocket Pass Premium will get three additional Weekly Challenges.
  • Challenges expire each Wednesday at 10 a.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. UTC) during Rocket Pass 3, and new challenges will become active at that time.
  • Weekly Challenges must be completed within their active week.
  • You cannot go back and complete expired challenges once their week has passed.
  • If you purchase Rocket Pass Premium in a later week during the Rocket Pass 3, you will receive Tier Points for completed Challenges from previous weeks.

For a full list of FAQs, be sure to check out the Rocket Pass 3 website. We hope you enjoy taking on the new Weekly Challenges in Rocket Pass 3. Good luck, have fun, and see you on April 17!

All I really want from this update is the ability to invite the party to the game, not having to add people to my friends list to trade (seriously who thought that was a good idea?), and the cert bug fixed. There are quite a few more but those three are all I really want.

If these are not in the update can you at least confirm it's not going to be 6 months to a year before this is fixed?

It's coming in this update. You'll be able to invite to party without a Friends List add on PS4 and Xbox again. After you create a party, you'll see a pop-up window that lists folks on your Friends List, and in the corner of that pop-up is a "Search" button that will bring up your platform UI.

This looks great! I like that there will be challenges for using different cars. I hope there are challenges for playing different playlists, too.

My concern is that, at first glance, these challenges look extremely easy. I could probably knock all of those out in a couple hours max. I think most of those would be more appropriate as daily challenges. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the other challenges are...

It's a balancing act -- we don't want any of these Challenges to continuously disrupt normal play during a match.

Keeping weekly wins as well or will challenges replace that? And is it the same amount of xp to level up?

Weekly Wins are still here, yes.

Since it doesn't seem like tier 1-70 items will be tradeable once again, any word on when that simple "Hide item" feature will be coming out? I am sadly most likely going to be skipping out on the rocket pass until that comes out as I really don't want 100+ items just sitting and clogging up my inventory... I'd love for this to come out already.

EDIT: why is this getting downvoted? O.o u/Psyonix_Devin mentioned they were working on this feature and I'm just curious when it'll be rolled out

It's not in this update, unsure when it's coming.

I was confused by this comment. Is there/will there be game chat available using mics cross platform? That’s the biggest feature for me. I have a nice gaming PC (not the best) but I like how it feels so much more than PS4 and all my friends play on PS4. It is more important to me to be able to play with friends and chat with them than have a smoother experience on PC on my own.

Cross-platform voice chat is not possible right now due to platform restrictions, so there is no ETA for adding it to RL.

I think challenges wold be more balanced if they were not the same for everyone every week.
Like, give them randomly every week to every player knowing that they can repeat and that must be two challenges of diferent value (3,5,8)

Thanks for the suggestion! I think we want the balance to come from the types of challenges we're offering first and foremost. Looking forward to everyone trying them out next week!
