Rocket League Celebrates Super Bowl With New Gridiron Game Mode

Psyonix

Which says “American football” more than a bunch of cars playing, uh, the other type of football? Don’t think too much about it, but Rocket League is launching (heh) a brand new game mode to celebrate NFL Super Bowl LV.

Starting February 2 and ending February 8, a new game mode called Gridiron will be available. The field will be modified to resemble an American football field, with hash marks and the NFL logo on the 50 yard line.

The game is 4v4, and the ball is now pigskin. Touching the ball attaches it to the roof of your car (just like real American football), and the carrier can jump singles, but not doubles, which drops the ball.

Passing the ball involves either dodging or letting another player touch the ball. Each goal is 3 or 7 points – 3 points if the ball crosses the goal line, but 7 points if a player carries it in himself. Own goals are three points, regardless of which way the ball enters.

Along with Gridiron, players will also be able to take on new event challenges to unlock the ‘Gridiron Guru’ title, NFL wheels, and 20,000 XP. There will also be an NFL Fan Pack, which costs 800 credits and gives you the octane decals of all 32 NFL teams, so you can support your favorite. Bortleeeees !!!
