It's that time of year again where the majority of community-driven video games are celebrating the spooky season. Rocket League is once again joining in on the fun with the return of the Haunted Hallows event. This is technically the first time Rocket League players on Switch will be able to participate in the Halloween scares, as the game was originally released on Nintendo's hybrid system in November 2017.
From the start of 15th October, you'll be able to earn special 'Candy Corn' whenever you play and compete in online Rocket League matches. In exchange for these candies, you can obtain limited edition decals, toppers, wheels and more. There'll also be 'Golden Pumpkin' doubling as loot crates - which contain one special customisation item from the nitro, turbo or player's choice crates. It's also noted how no key or decryptor is required to redeem Candy Corn or a Golden Pumpkin. When the event ends on 5th November, there'll be an additional three days to redeem any leftover Candy Corn.
On a related note, this weekend through to next Monday, Psyonix is hosting its first-ever Double XP Weekend in Rocket League. This is to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the original 2008 PlayStation 3 game, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. Here are the details:
Base XP that's earned in Online Matches will double via a "+100% Special Event” multiplier we’ve been saving for a special occasion. All additional bonuses and multipliers will be operating normally.
Take a look at the trailer above and tell us in the comments if you're up for some spooky or Double XP fun in Rocket League.

I need to pick this game up eventually. I have a habit of getting super absorbed into one game at a time though and I just know this one would keep me busy for a while.
I made the extremely tough decision of deleting this from my Switch. Not because I grew bored of it, far from it but since coming back to Thailand it's been really difficult to find a game and when you do, half the time it's a lagfest. It's obviously not taken off in this region.I'd have thought there would be enough Japanese playing it to keep the lobbies full but it appears not.I have no problems finding opponents in Nintendo games,Splatoon is unbelievably quick and smooth as can be. Even with that though, I still kept it on my system until the other day when I went to play it and it said I needed to clear 8.9gb to install an update. That was the final straw. I'll download it again when I'm back in the UK next year.
They're also running a double xp event ths weekend to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Super Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars.
I also noticed the donut wheels from the Spring Fever event in that clip.
@Dizzy_Boy I've added this information to the post.
The last time I played I was bored with the game but kept playing because it was a event. Still don't want to play it.....and with a Halloween event going on, oof.
hell yeah!
@Liam_Doolan Oh, nice. Thanks for doing that.
I love this game. It's just fun enough to keep me coming back to it. It's a bit strange that I loved Botw waaaay more but my hours playing rocket league are more than double.
Best sports game ever! The updates keep it fresh, and I'm totally addicted. I've been a Rocket League fan since it first came out on PS4
Love this game, first time playing was with the switch... I've had to send my joycons off to Nintendo today for drifting again! 😔So who knows when I'll get them back to get in on the Halloween action.
Has there been any updates on cross platform parties?
