Hip-Hop History
Hip-Hop leaped over social hurdles and censorship over the past 50 years, slowly growing into the cultural colossus of today. Constructed from a supreme combination of DJs, MCs, dancers, and artists, Hip-Hop’s roots began deep in the Bronx.
It all started when talented turntablists began giving the neighborhood breakers a longer dance beat by looping a pair of records. With the crossfader in heavy use, these ‘70s block parties marked the nucleus of Hip-Hop’s creation.
Fast forward to the ‘80s, and Hip-Hop’s popularity echoed through the streets. Radio play, record deals, and tape trading gave backyard MCs an avenue toward fame and fortune. With the funky West Coast and booming South gaining their voice, heavy beats and historic verses were dropping on a daily basis. By the end of the ‘90s, we’d witness dozens of tracks hit number one on the charts.
As the millennia turned, Hip-Hop was no longer a question—it was an answer. Sprawling sub-genres covered too much ground to measure, yet artists found new ways to electrify the airwaves (and dominate the underground scene) with every release. By the time we reached our digital age of instant releases and endless access, Hip-Hop's influence had expanded beyond all borders of music and geography. Even into the Rocket League Arena.
Ready to spin the wheels of steel for yourself? The first release by Salt-N-Pepa is available now!
Race with NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary and IRL Rocket League Car
The smell of burning rubber fills the air while the stock cars of NASCAR round the final corner. As the checkered flag waves, the drivers suddenly find themselves facing a whole new type of challenge: Soccar! In celebration of NASCAR’s 75th anniversary, we welcome a new set of Team Decals (including an in-game Decal based on 23XI Racing’s IRL Rocket League livery,) the return of the 2022 Fan Pass lineup, and a new NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary decal!
Join the race from September 13 to September 26.
NASCAR Leads the Pack
Since the very first race day at Daytona Beach 75 years ago, NASCAR has thrilled millions with speed, drama, and incredible skill.
Fast forward to today, and you can bring that racing heritage to the Arena with the Next Gen Toyota Camry, Next Gen Ford Mustang, and Next Gen Chevy Camaro! We’re releasing a whole new set of team livery Decals this year, including a special NASCAR 75th Anniversary Decal. You’ll also have a chance to run laps around your opponent as DFH Stadium (Circuit) returns to the Arena rotation.
Already have the cars from last year? We’ll also have a bundle with decals only, so you can update your collection with all the newest NASCAR livery.
We’ve had NASCAR in Rocket League before, but on August 6th Rocket League hit the NASCAR track for the very first time! With Tyler Reddick at the wheel, 23XI’s Toyota TRD Pro ran the FireKeepers Casino 400 in Michigan in full Soccar livery.
We’ve brought that same custom livery into the game with the 23XI #45: RLE Decal so you can use the in-game real-life-inspired car based on the IRL game car… wait… well, the point is you can drive it in Rocket League!
*Note: The Team Decals and Goodyear NASCAR Wheels included in the NASCAR 75th Anniversary Bundle can only be equipped by the NASCAR Next Gen Ford Mustang, NASCAR Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro, and NASCAR Next Gen Toyota Camry. These cars cannot be customized with certain item types.
2022 NASCAR Fan Pass Returns
The 2022 Fan Pass is back for another lap! If you missed it last year, now’s your chance to get the full collection of Team Decals and Player Banners. You’ll also get specially designed NASCAR Decals that bring the thrills of stock racing to three fan-favorite cars: Octane, Dominus, and Fennec.
2022 Fan Pass (1100 Credits)
3 NASCAR Next Gen Cars
3 Rocket League Branded Decals
3 Next Gen Promo Decals
Next Gen Goodyear Racing Wheels
9 NASCAR Team Decals
9 NASCAR Team Player Banners

But fanged rumors lurk amongst the roots of these glittering towers. Notorious hacktivist Zero-Day has gained access to the city's digital infrastructure, and although their motives remain unclear, the city's underbelly buzzes with anticipation of what’s to come.
How will you survive this world of digital disruption? Override your Garage with the Porsche 911 Turbo, go incognito with Rocket Pass rewards, and play Soccar in Zero-Day’s corrupted vision of Neo Tokyo.
Season 12 begins on September 6, no password required!
Race Against the Machine
One of the most recognizable silhouettes in sports car history is coming to Rocket League: the Porsche 911 Turbo. This high-class powerhouse has both the style and the speed needed to create a legendary name for itself. Porsche celebrates their 75th anniversary this year, and the 911 is a timeless example of the automaker’s beloved designs.
You’ll instantly unlock the in-game Porsche 911 Turbo when you purchase Rocket Pass Premium, but once you’ve tiered up a little, you’ll also earn a version that can only be described as a wild, wide-bodied beast. The Porsche 911 Turbo RLE boasts super-sized fenders, an eye-catching lip splitter, and a stylish LED car logo on the rear. Even the turbo’s famous tea tray spoiler receives a mammoth upgrade! Whichever ride you choose, both cars use the Dominus Hitbox and will keep you cruising with a high-speed connection.
Augment Your Ride
With scavenging smugglers roaming the web, you’ll need to upgrade your car and ride out the night. Luckily, this Season’s Rocket Pass Premium has got you covered.
All your halo are belong to us! The Hacked Halo Topper adds a holographic vibe to your car without blocking much vis, perfect for sweaty circuit breakers on the move. You could also get your hands on some vintage tech with the CRT Avatar Border! No next-gen enhancements here, just analog electronics and old-school cool.
Already got your presets locked down? Try a new Paint Finish for Season 12! The Bubblewrap, Keyboard, and Pixel Paint Finishes will all give your ride a subtly different look without replacing the Items you love.
Transform the Arena into your personal computer paradise with Zero’s World—Rocket League’s newest takeover Goal Explosion. The effects of takeover Goal Explosions will cover the entire Arena whenever you score.
Sick and tired of living under our neuralwave sentinel overlords? Show your allegiance to all of car-kind with Zero-Day’s Badbeat Antenna, Zero-Day Player Banner, and Zero-Day Topper hologram. Grab an InfoSec Boost and you can start blasting corrupted data out into the Arena. Be careful though—your safety is null and void once you’ve accepted Zero-Day’s terms of service.
Seize the Circuit
For years, the name Zero-Day was spoken only in the deepest corners of the web. That all changed when a massive data flood hijacked the city's firewall matrix, plastering Zero-Day’s masked face across thousands of screens. These hijacked holograms have even transformed the local Soccar spot into Neo Tokyo (Hacked) Arena.
System Override
It’s one thing to break through a Hyper-Aether Digiwrath MKIV security system, but can you score on an open net? Prove your talent in the Arena by earning this Season’s Tournament Rewards!
Rep your last-legs gaming rig by rocking the Toasted Antenna, or doodle all over your car with the Doodled Octane Decal. Looking to mix clean with chrome? We’ve got you covered there too. The five-spoked Sabr-619 Wheels pair a metallic shine with slick treads and just a hint of color. The Sabr-619: Inverted Wheels will level up your look even further if you prefer to go full flashy flash.
If you’re really lucky, you might even land one of this Season’s Black Market items. The universal Hypno-Web Decal is an android's dream, wrapping your car in the newest encryption technology (aka an awesome-looking electric shield!) You could also land a Twisted Tornado Goal Explosion, perfect for blowing the competition away.
Data Drifters
You’re going to need the right ride in this city, and picking up an item pack is a great way to enhance your Garage. The Rookie Pack comes with a Purple Tygris Car, a futuristic set of Black Finny Wheels, and much more!
If you wanna boost your look even further, the Elite Pack offers up slick, color-coordinated gear. The Fennec Car, Quimby Wheels, and Blazer Trail all come in Forest Green, while the Neo Thermal Boost comes in Black. Also in Black, you'll get the animated Wet Paint Decal. This Black Market item is a universal Decal and can be applied to any unbranded car in your Garage.
Digital Noise
Neo Tokyo isn’t the only thing that’s been breached. Sprinkled throughout Zero-Day’s messages, a couple of clues have been decrypted by a nearby grey topper org. It appears as though one of Neo Tokyo’s most infamous tuner crews is planning to reopen the Aftermarket Item Shop Tab. There were also scattered hints suggesting this year’s Halloween celebrations will be something to remember. Keep your ear to the ground—we’ll be cracking more of Zero-Day’s code soon!
Take control of your reality as Season 12 begins September 6.
