Rocket League is almost three years old now - although not on Switch, of course - and to celebrate, developer Psyonix is hosting an in-game anniversary event featuring a whole lot of fun.
The event will run from 9th July to 23rd July and is actually a combined celebration of Rocket League's third anniversary, and Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars' tenth anniversary (the game's predecessor). It will allow players to obtain a whole bunch of new customisation items by redeeming SARPBC-themed ‘Balloons’ that can be earned by playing matches online. This includes items such as the little cake hat seen above and more.
Perhaps the most interesting inclusion, however, is the addition of ‘Throwback Stadium’, inspired by SARPBC. As you can see, the goal layout is completely different to how it is usually found in Rocket League, with a path running behind the goal and, crucially, no giant wall to help guide the ball into the net. The ball's weight will also be adjusted on this particular stage to recreate the play-style of Rocket League's older brother.
If you want to jump in and get involved with the celebrations, here are all the times you need:
- Anniversary Event Start Time: Monday, 9th July, 10am PDT (1pm EDT, 7pm CEST)
- Anniversary Event End Time: Monday, 23rd July, 5pm PDT (8pm EDT, 2am CEST on 24th July)
- Anniversary Event ‘Balloons’ Expire: Monday, 23rd July, 5pm PDT (8pm EDT, 2am CEST on 24th July)
Will you be giving the new stadium layout a try? Let us know if you like to play a game or two of Rocket League in the comments below.

I think rocket league is fantastic on the switch being able to play on the go. I'll def be playing this event. the arena looks awesome
Can i eat that cake ?
Haven't played in a few weeks. This should bring me back.
I'll definitley be giving it a go, hopefully anyway. Rocket League has gone from my most played game on Switch by far to one I haven't touched in a couple of month. Since moving back to Thailand it's really difficult to find an opponent with the recommended settings. Playing anyone from outside my region makes it an unplayable lag fest. Gutted as I love the game and have spent a fortune on loot crates.
@Anti-Matter The cake is a lie.
Rocket league is a game that when I first played I was incredibly luke warm about...then I decided to give it more of a shot and play for a few hours...and now It’s my most played game even topping BOTW
Can't wait!
Yet another multiplayer game that made me realize how bad I am at multiplayer games.
@guamyankee Being bad at RL is half the fun. Until one day your realize... you aren't bad anymore, and that's even more fun.
@pinta_vodki
That's actually a really good way of looking at it, thank you!
