Rocket League <\/em>provided more details for the\u00a0Rocket Pass<\/a> today, a limited-time\u00a0progression system available to players starting September 5 and running through November 26.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as Psyonix\u00a0mentioned last month<\/a> that it would be retooling Rocket League’s\u00a0<\/em>progression system through the introduction of the limited-time passes.<\/p>\n

The new business model\u00a0is likely\u00a0a response to the Battle Pass<\/a> popularized by games like Fortnite\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0PlayerUnknown’s\u00a0Battlegrounds, <\/em>but it’s always interesting to see how different devs approach earning revenue.<\/p>\n

As detailed on\u00a0Rocket League’s\u00a0<\/em>website,<\/a>\u00a0tier progression begins\u00a0by playing\u00a0matches\u00a0online to earn free rewards, with an\u00a0option to purchase the premium pass for extra rewards and cosmetic upgrades for every tier.<\/p>\n

While there isn’t any mention of how much the premium pass will cost, it’s worth noting that players will get more rewards if they choose to\u00a0pay for it.<\/p>\n

After Rocket Pass ends, players will be able to keep their free and premium rewards they\u2019ve earned. When the next Rocket Pass begins, all players start back at tier 1.<\/p>\n
