Rocket League takes a page from Fortnite with new limited-time Rocket Pass
<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/rocket-league-takes-a-page-from-fortnite-with-new-limited-time-rocket-pass.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p><em>Rocket League </em>provided more details for the <a href="https://www.rocketleague.com/game-info/rocketpass/rocket-pass-1/">Rocket Pass</a> today, a limited-time progression system available to players starting September 5 and running through November 26.</p>
<p>This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as Psyonix <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/322683/Psyonix_shares_Rocket_League_loot_box_drop_rates_ahead_of_progression_overhaul.php">mentioned last month</a> that it would be retooling <em>Rocket League’s </em>progression system through the introduction of the limited-time passes.</p>
<p>The new business model is likely a response to the <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/320420/PlayerUnknowns_Battlegrounds_introduces_a_paid_event_pass.php">Battle Pass</a> popularized by games like <em>Fortnite </em>and <em>PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, </em>but it’s always interesting to see how different devs approach earning revenue.</p>
<p>As detailed on <a href="https://www.rocketleague.com/game-info/rocketpass/rocket-pass-1/"><em>Rocket League’s </em>website,</a> tier progression begins by playing matches online to earn free rewards, with an option to purchase the premium pass for extra rewards and cosmetic upgrades for every tier.</p>
<p>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 pay for it.</p>
<p>After Rocket Pass ends, players will be able to keep their free and premium rewards they’ve earned. When the next Rocket Pass begins, all players start back at tier 1.</p>
