Rocket League Season 2 is live on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch alongside a new update complete with patch notes. With Season 2, there's also now a new Rocket Pass that features the new R3MX car, which is said to use the "Hybrid" hitbox. On top of this, Season 1 Competitive Rewards have been dished out, a new arena dubbed Neon Fields has been added, and Player Anthems are now available as well.

With Player Anthems, players can customize their goal celebrations with any song pulled from the game's library. That said, if you're not interested in hearing Monstercat with every goal, you don't have to. Not only is the feature optional, but you can turn it off completely, which means you won't hear other player's music either.

As for whether or not the update requires a download, is unclear. And because this is unclear, it's also unclear what the file size is if there's a required download. That said, what we do have are the patch notes, which you can check out below:
