Rocket League Anniversary Event start July 9th(no crates)

Can you believe Rocket League is nearly THREE years old and Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars is about to turn TEN? Oh, how time flies! To celebrate both milestones, we're throwing an in-game birthday bash Event and you're all invited!

Our Anniversary Event will run from July 9 to July 23 (timing details below) and will work a bit differently than our previous in-game Events. For starters, we're adding an all-new 3v3 'Anniversary' Playlist to the Casual Playlists page, featuring an inspired 'Throwback Stadium' that veteran SARPBC players may recognize! The goal layout, in particular, is a departure from the modern goal positions seen in the rest of Rocket League's Arenas, but it does harken back to the old-school days of Battle-Cars, which should tickle the old nostalgia feels quite nicely.

We're changing up how you earn Customization Items during the Anniversary Event as well. There will be no Event Crates this time around, with all of the new items available by redeeming SARPBC10th Anniversary-themed 'Balloons,' which are earned by playing matches online. Check out screenshots of some of the items below!

Along with new items up for grabs, you'll also be able to redeem Balloons for a new type of Anniversary surprise! These 'Golden Eggs' do not require a Key or Decryptor to unlock, so just crack up to ten of 'em open to find one of over 60 possible Customization Items from our retired Champions Series Crates.

Anniversary Event Start Time: Monday, July 9, 10am PDT (1pm EDT, 7pm CEST)
Anniversary Event End Time: Monday, July 23, 5pm PDT (8pm EDT, 2am CEST on July 24)
Anniversary Event 'Balloons' Expire: Monday, July 23, 5pm PDT (8pm EDT, 2am CEST on July 24)
- The Anniversary Event 'Balloons' expire as soon as the Event concludes. There is no one-week redemption grace period.

We hope to see you at the in-game party next month, and THANK YOU to our amazing community for sticking with Rocket League and SARPBC throughout the last decade. We wouldn't be here without your dedication, your passion and your feedback. Here's to the next ten years!

FAQ
Will I be able to redeem Anniversary Event 'Balloons' after the Event ends on July 23?

No, Balloons expire as soon as the Event concludes at 5pm PDT on July 23.

Can I trade in items I get from Golden Eggs?

Yes! Golden Egg items can be traded in with other Golden Egg items. The Golden Egg is its own series, so these items cannot be traded in with Crate items.

Rocket league is probably top of my list for games I love but don't play enough of, gotta jump back in for this.

OldSocksAndShoes · Jul 3, 2018

God damn I love this game so much.

Cess007 · Jul 3, 2018

3 years playing this game almost daily. OMG lol

Also, loving that goal position in the arena, it sure brings back so many memories!

Complicated · Jul 3, 2018

I've wanted that old map forever it seems like such an interesting twist on the standard map. Probably not good for game flow and overall smooth team play, but it'll be fun as hell to try it out!

PrintedCrayon · Jul 3, 2018

What a wonderful video game.

It seems like only yesterday that I was partaking in the beta, never would have imagined it would gain so much traction and be so revered. Long may it continue

CountAntonio · Jul 3, 2018

That new goal is perfect for snow day.

Bakercat · Jul 3, 2018

Good, fuck loot boxes.

This is good for people that joined the fanbase via the Switch. The crates retired before the Switch port was released, so they'll finally be able to get certain items.

Nice. I played SARPBC a bit back in the day, but never really got into it. Rocket League is amazing, though, and one of my favorite games ever. Play it almost every day.

TP-DK · Jul 3, 2018

This game and the developers are so awesome.

I convinced my boss to buy it for the ps at work, so we can play during breaks. Though most people stay on Fifa.

I hope this game never stops getting content and never loses its player base. Greatest game ever made.

Klobrille · Jul 3, 2018

Looks good.

I need that X patch though. It's pretty much the only non-enhanced game I play regularly and it's always so blurry for the eyes to return to it.

Mikoby · Jul 3, 2018

I love rocket league and can't stop playing even though I won't buy keys for lockboxes. Thanks summer event for 5 decryptors and nothing of note when opening them. Great game though!

J_Ark · Jul 3, 2018

I only lost one event while I was on my trip to Japan and I lost the rainbow trail T_______T

Let's see what this one brings but I'll never recover from that one XD

Pretty sure you can get one through trades pretty cheap. What platform are you on?

PC but I though event items couldn't be traded. To be honest I never tried trading, I just googled it and saw that in reddit. Maybe the ones that you buy with season points can't be traded but the ones from crates can?

Yeah you can trade for them. Cheap too. 1 key and under will get one for you. I'd help you out but I won't be at my PC a few days.

Whoa, I'll try it! Thanks for the advice!

One question. The keys that you can farm with points on events are valid when they demand keys? Or I should buy one with money and trade it?

If that's the case maybe I can trade some of my crates, I have plenty of them.

LordofPwn · Jul 3, 2018

I feel like i find out about these events on here before i see anything from them on twitter. completely missed the last event too cause i never saw anything from it. This event looks cool though, can't wait to try out that new map.

Only purchasable keys can be trafed. Though keep in mind when you buy them there is a 7 day trade ban where you can't trade them. You can try crates if you don't manage to find one I can help you out when I get back home Thursday.

Love that map! Was wanting that original arena with the goals having a behind-the-net area

Well, lets wait another 6 months or so...

Me too - and unfortunately I'm still not that great but I just love it so much. My favorite sports game of all time... easily!

Kayant · Jul 3, 2018

This map on snow day equals pinches for days. Shame it will only be added for private matches in the next major update.

SpartyCrunch · Jul 3, 2018

Looks awesome! Can't wait to sink another billion hours into this.

RandomExpletive · Jul 3, 2018

Was wondering when they'd throw the SARBC area into RL, should be fun to roll around

WillyFive · Jul 3, 2018

Good. May the crates never return.

I doubt they are gone forever but having this and the rocket pass coming up makes it feel like maybe they will be shifting away from them. Hopefully it does well.

ZeoVGM · Jul 3, 2018

That's so awesome that even the ball physics will be slightly different on the throwback arena.

Looks awesome, going to be grinding the hell out of this event.

Nah, Crates in this game are fine.

Looking forward to playing this.
