Rocket League Patch Kicks Off New Season with Victory Crate, Season Rewards

With the end of Rocket League's sixth competitive season, the next year of games is ready to begin with a new crate and rewards for the previous season's players.

Like other games that offer a ranked mode, Rocket League offers various prized depending on how high players climb in the rankings with the top-tier players receiving some flashy rewards. Everyone who participated in the ranked mode and completed their placement matches will get a special set of wheels to denote the highest rank achieved during season six, so even if you dropped down a few ranks during your climb, you'll still be awarded for the highest rank.

Along with the start of the new season comes a soft reset for players' ranks as well which will require more placement matches to find a new rank. Winning half of these will put you somewhere near your previous season ranking, so be sure not to slack on the placements if you want to get off to a good start.

Below are the full patch notes with every change coming to Rocket League in Patch 1.41.
