News/Updates etc.
Firstly, you are in the right place, all news/updates related to Rocket League will be posted here on the official subreddit in which you will find a large number of passionate Rocket League fans discussing the topics. You may also wish to stay tuned over at https://www.rocketleague.com for the news there too and can join the official Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RocketLeague
Getting Started
After I had drafted this post /u/markednl came out with an excellent illustrated post for beginners getting started on their Rocket League journey so we highly encourage you to check out his post at the link below: https://reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/iy707k/welcome_to_rocket_league_lets_get_started_a/
As a new player, when you first launch the game, you’ll be greeted with an interactive intro to show you the basic controls, however, there is also a Tutorial in the Training menu (Play>Training>Tutorial) and this is something that is highly recommended that you complete prior to your first games.
The game was developed with a controller in-mind so it is recommended that you use one, however, it is not an essential, it is entirely possible to reach the top level of the game using Keyboard/Mouse as well.
There is an option to play the game Single-Player vs AI but the game is at its most fun when played online.
There are various modes you can play online and we would encourage you to try all of these modes out.

Cosmetic Items
There are a few ways to obtain cosmetic items in-game, all of these items are purely cosmetic and provide no mechanical advantage over others. You can obtain these items in the shop, through Rocket Pass, blueprints, tournament credits and events
The game has its own in-game currency called “Credits” which you can use to purchase items either in the shop or by crafting blueprints, purchase “Rocket Pass” (Rocket League’s progressive rewards) or you can trade these credits with other players for items (more info on trading further down the post).
- The Item Shop is a rotating shop which refreshes every 24 hours with new items. There is also an Esports shop which contains Esports team items that works in the same way
- Blueprints are post-game drop items which you can craft by spending credits
- Rocket Pass is a progression system which gives you a new item every time you rank up, after Tier 70, you start to get painted/special edition variants of items
- Tournament Credits you can obtain Tournament Credits by participating in official Rocket League tournaments and these can be redeemed to unlock RANDOM items from the Tournament prizes.
- Occasionally, we have official Rocket League Events in which you are awarded a new in-game currency that drops after matches and you can use these to redeem cosmetic items too.
Battlecars
There are various cars to choose from in the game, all the cars fit within a certain hitbox preset. Information on these presets can be found at the links below:
Mechanics
The list of in-game mechanics in the game is an ever-expanding list that would be far too long to list here so thankfully, someone else has done this for us. See this link for a full list of mechanics with descriptions and tutorials
Matchmaking and Ranking System
Rocket League uses a numerical value called MMR to determine your rank, this increases/decreases with wins/losses. You can find more information on MMR/Ranking System at the links below.

Trading
There is a very booming trading community in this game and we would encourage you to check out the /r/RocketLeagueExchange subreddit for all things trading related. There are price-checking threads available there too to see what the market value is.
Be very careful when trading as there are people who will try to steal your items It is always recommended that you use a middleman for high value trades for extra security.
While on the topic of scammers, be sure to NEVER enter your Steam/Xbox/PS4/Switch/Epic credentials in any links you are sent by other people. This is a common phishing technique used to steal your items. Check out this link for more information on the scams
Esports
This game has an absolutely excellent Esport that is probably the most entertaining Esport to watch for a non-playing viewer due to the nature of how easy the concept of the game is to grasp.
We highly recommend checking out /r/RocketLeagueEsports for a wonderful community of fans of the Esport.
Many of the Esport events, including the flagship RLCS event, allow you to obtain Fan Rewards which you can get by clicking that link and linking your in-game account to your Twitch account. Then you just need to be watching the streams at https://twitch.tv/rocketleague and you will receive the drops at random.
