Rocket League Season 7 is set to arrive, and it is going to bring one of the biggest changes to the game ever seen. Though many will be unaware of the need for that change, which came after a noted freestyler discovered that the ball moves quicker up some corners than others.
There are, of course, plenty of expected changes heading socCar players’ ways, with Season 7 expected to bring a brand new Rocket Pass packed full of challenges and rewards.
If you want to know more, including Season 7’s release date, then you have come to the right place as we break down everything you need to know about the new season.
When Does Rocket League Season 7 Come Out?
We are currently entering the latter stages of Rocket League Season 6 which started all the way back in March. The season’s expected end date is June 15 which is the same day that Rocket League Season 7 is expected to launch.
As we come near the season’s end, remember, that there is a limited time to earn the Season 6 Rewards and complete your Rocket Pass.
Rocket League Season 7 – Rocket Pass
At the time of writing, there are currently no details about the Season 7 Rocket Pass though there are some things that never change.
With both a free and a premium track, the latter of which costs 1000 Credits ($10 / £8), there will be over 70 tiers of rewards to unlock including the new car for the season. Players can also expect cosmetic items like wheels, goal celebrations, decals, and more.
The premium Rocket Pass also includes three more weekly challenges which, along with XP that helps unlock tiers of the Rocket Pass, also include items as a reward.
Rocket League Season 7 – Rewards
The rewards for Season 7 have yet to be revealed. We will update this section with more information as it becomes available.
Rocket League Season 7 – Wall Changes
A major change is coming to Rocket League Season 7, after a freestyler did the maths and discovered that the ball rolls at different speeds on the wall of the game’s maps. This was suspected but never proven with one player putting together a video back in October of last year highlighting the problem.

And as we gear up for Season 7, the developers have confirmed that it is a bug and not a feature and that they are aiming to fix it in time for Season 7’s release.
A freestyler sparked a ton of chatter on Twitter and Reddit about ball speed on different Arena walls. We definitely want uniformity in how fast the ball moves in corners, and we’re hoping to have this fixed in time for Season 7. While we use automated testing throughout Rocket League, this was a blind spot for us that we’re going to address moving forward.

It goes without saying that the changes will change the way the game is played and might force a period of adjustment as you retune your muscle memory.
