With Rocket League's massive free-to-play update coming at some point in September, Psyonix has lifted the lid on some of the changes that will be happening to the game's competitive mode.
For starters, Rocket Passes, competitive ranked seasons, and the all new tournaments that will arrive with the update are all going to be compressed into one simple season. This means all three will start and end on the same dates, making it easier for players to keep track of things and know how long they have left to grind or complete challenges. Once the update drops, Season 1 will begin and kickstart a new Rocket Pass, ranked season, and tournaments.
There are also some tweaks being made to the Rocket League ranks. Previously, players would battle their way to the top tier of the ranking system, Grand Champion. However, following the update, Grand Champion will be divided into three sub-tiers (similarly to the ranks that precede it) with a new top rank being introduced above it. While this is exciting enough for elite Rocket League players, the name of this new rank will definitely create some extra buzz: Supersonic Legend.
