Legendary monsters have been sighted on the field, but are they real or just an illusion? Turn up those headlamps and shine a light on the myths (and moths) of Rocket League Season 16 starting September 4! In Season 16, wade into the worrisome wilderness and compete in an all-new Arena, Drift Woods. And if things get too eerie, take comfort behind the wheel of Rocket Leagues latest cars. When you purchase Season 16s Rocket Pass Premium, youll automatically unlock the BMW 1 Series Car Body. Venture up the Tiers to unlock the BMW 1 Series RLE Car Body, as well as folklore-inspired frights like the Chupacabra Topper, Sasquatch Print Wheels, and Mothman Decal! The woods await.
BMW1 Series NOTE: The BMW 1 Series and BMW 1 Series RLE Car Bodies use the Octane hitbox. Theyll be eligible for cross-game ownership between Rocket League and Fortnite at a later date!

Drift into the Woods

Its 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 dont worry stay focused on the goal and youll soon find your way out of the darkness towards victory.
You know what else can light up the dusk? Music. Season 16s new theme song Lie is full of weird and wild electronic melodies curated by Monstercat artists Mr. Bill & Culprate. Youll hear it on the Rocket League X Monstercat 2024 Playlist on Rocket League Radio, and itll be appearing in the Featured Shop as a Player Anthem!

A New Perspective on Demolition

One moment, youre zooming towards the goal, and the next, BOOM! Youve 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 doesnt have to be!

Rocket Pass Premium

Whether its monsters, ghouls, or witches get ready to transform your vehicle into a mystical motor that brings an otherworldly aura wherever you drive. Here are supernatural surprises that lurk in Season 16s Rocket Pass Premium Tiers:


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 youd be forgiven for thinking that magical forces were involved in their making. Each cars 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. Let opponents know youre watching them and they are watching them with the Creepshow Dominus Decal. Speaking of eyes, forget keeping your eyes on the goal. Have the goal keep eyes on the entire Arena with the takeover Eyescore Goal Explosion. Like moths to a flame is Mothman to a light pole. Give Mothman a ride on a dying light with the Mothman Antenna! Or, show your affinity for the darkness with the gloom-oozing Darker Disc Wheels and Chupacabra Topper. Its not good to move the goalpost about what looks better in the light, but the Ghoulpost Antenna may be preferable to the Mothman Antenna if you prefer ghosts over bugs. The post it haunts is a city streetlight, so its no stranger to rocketing cars. All the rewards mentioned above are just some of the rewards you can unlock. This Seasons Rocket Pass is crawling with rewards, with 70+ Tiers of rewards across free and Premium. Be a Happy Camper in Drift Woods!

Tournament Rewards from the Underworld

Season 16s Tournament Rewards are delivered straight from the dark depths. If your performance on the pitch isnt enough to give your rivals nightmares, show them an eyeball with wings (and a halo?) by equipping the Bateye Topper. Let em know you have bite with the Gnawd Wheels and conjure up something fierce with the Rocketmancer Goal Explosion.
These arent all the Tournament Rewards, so get ready to make the pitch your haunt.
