Thank you! Thank you very much!

We’re extremely excited about the success of Rocket League since its launch in PlayStation Plus on July 7th — we couldn’t have done it without you! For those of you who haven’t played Rocket League, it’s still available for free on PlayStation Plus until August 4th so join in on the fun!

We thought we’d bring you a complete rundown of what to expect in our upcoming “Supersonic Fury” DLC Pack.

As we mentioned in our launch post earlier this month, the Supersonic Fury DLC Pack includes two brand new Battle-Cars: the over-the-top American muscle car Dominus, and the souped-up Japanese street racer Takumi. Both of these vehicles offer six different Decals for Garage customization (12 total) and are only available for play in the DLC.

Besides the new Battle-Cars, the DLC Pack also includes two all-new Rocket Boosts (“Nitrous” and “Burnout”), two new Wheel sets (the soccer ball-themed “Cristiano” and the very-cool “Spinner” set), five all-new Paint Types (“Brushed Metal,” “Carbon Fiber,” “Metallic Pearl,” “Pearlescent,” and “Wood”), and a handful of new Trophies. This entire collection will be available in early August for $3.99.

In addition to the Supersonic Fury DLC, we will also release a free game update that offers an assortment of new content, including our first new map, Utopia Coliseum, and more than 70 new country flags. The long-awaited “Spectator Mode” will be in there too, allowing viewers to watch live games in real-time from any angle in the arena. Spectator controls are very similar to that of our existing “Replay Viewer’s,” so start practicing now and get ready for the drop!

Further enhancements, like updated Goal explosions and Demolitions, are planned for the free update as well, along with the brand new song, “Firework,” from the critically-acclaimed electronica group, Hollywood Principle.

It is our sincere hope that this mix of paid DLC and free add-on content is what Rocket League fans have been waiting for, and it’s just the beginning of what is plenty more to come. Thanks once again for your continued support and we’ll see you again very, very soon.

I would say the DLC seems kind of lacking in content, but it's actually priced pretty reasonably for what it is. If the price translates properly and they don't add a non-US tax then I might get it

But but but you get new trophies with the DLC!!! Those alone are worth a billion moneys.

No, the price is crazy. They're probably losing like 10 dollars on every download with so much value.

Wood paint type? Great, cut content as paid DLC! 3:15 in the linked video, he has the Wood paint type. It didn't make it in the final game, but it's in paid DLC 1 month after release. I love the game, but the fact that they showed Wood, cut it and now ask money for it can't be excused.

Maybe they felt it wasn't finished for the game at launch and finalized it just now. The whole game is very unfinished and will be completed in the coming months. But they wanted to get it out of the gate as early as possible. So I really doubt they held back a lot intentionally.

Not to hold them at a higher moral standard but I see no reason or financial gain to hold back just one part of a bigger DLC pack.

Great game, love it, but I simply cannot pay money for cosmetics. Not in this game or any other.
Surely there will be plenty of people that will, though. Heck, if only 1% of downloaders buys it, they made $200K.

Well they already earned 4€ from me. I need Takumi in my life!

I do like the combination of free and paid DLC implemented in this update. Of course we're waiting on being able to join ranked 3v3 matches with your own team, but Psyonix is working on it and it will be added as soon as possible. I do not see the paid DLC worth $3.99, but I may get it after I see what they roll out next to gauge if it is worth the money.

I've never paid for cosmetics, even for F2P games. However, I love this game so much and appreciate the developers that I would be inclined to spend some money for a game I downloaded via PS+
