Rocket League Sideswipe Season 2 arrives today
Psyonix announced that Rocket League Sideswipe, the free-to-play mobile version of the hit racing game Rocket League, will see a new season of content release today, February 2nd, at 8:00 AM PST. With this new season, a new Rocket Pass, Season Challenges, and a brand new game mode will be available to play.
The new game mode, Volleyball Mode, is a 2v2 game mode that features a central net and no goals at all. In a large departure from the standard mode of play and even the previously featured Hoops Mode, which Volleyball will replace, the only way to score in Volleyball Mode is to hit a ball onto your opponent's side of the goal. These extra modes, like Volleyball or Hoops, will appear on a rotating basis throughout each season, so players can expect vastly different modes every few months to shake up the standard gameplay.
Alongside the patch planned for release today, a preparation update was also made available yesterday. This update implemented Casual Playlists into the playable modes, a playlist that will allow players to compete in matches that won't impact their ranks. Shortly after Season 2 launches, Season 1 rewards will be handed out, and those rewards specifically include titles and quick chat stickers. For more details on Season 2, check out the patch notes here.
