Rocket League is gearing up to release Season 17, which launches on December 4. It introduces Online Free Play, new a Neo Tokyo (Arcade) Arena, Split Shot mode, and a whole new Battle Pass.

That also means the end of the current Battle Pass, so make sure you finish that up before December 4. Psyonix wants to help you with that, and has introduced Season Rush to help you beat it.

Let’s take a look at everything new arriving with Season 17 of Rocket League.

Online Free Play and Party LTE

Rocket League is introducing Online Free Play along with Season 17. This allows you to play a chill match of Rocket League with your friends while searching for another game, or when you don’t fancy dealing with ranked.

Online Free Play supports Soccar, Hoops, Snow Day, and Dropshot modes, along with all of the current arenas. In essence, it features everything you can expect from offline Free Play, but online.

To celebrate the introduxction of Online Free Play, you can complete a series of challenges to unlock a new title: Power of Friendship.

There’s even a new Black Dieci Wheels cosmetic item.

Login Rewards and Other Freebies

Login between December 4 – March 5 and you get a free reward: Icebreak Banner.
