Rocket League Season 3 Patch Notes Revealed, Update Live

by

Rocket League Season 3 won’t be fully live and active in the hit video game until tomorrow, but prior to release, the major update itself will be available on the various platforms the game can be played on. A new car will be added when the Rocket Pass goes live, but before that, this update specifically adds a brand new trade-in system that should make it easier and more rewarding to get rid of unwanted inventory items.

Apart from this update is not of extreme importance. It comes with other new additions, new music, bug fixes, and more, but it doesn’t really change the game, nor will it really improve the overall experience of the game. That said, measured by the length of the patch notes, this is certainly one of the bigger updates in weeks.

Below you can check out the full patch notes of the update, courtesy of Psyonix:
