Rocket League gets Women's History Month tournaments and free items

Join Psyonix as Rocket League celebrates Women’s History Month with three FREE Items. But wait, they’re not just any Items. Each one was designed by one of the many magical women working at Psyonix! Psyonix is also happy to support two special Rocket League Tournaments: the WIRL $10K Cup March 11–12, and the Ally Women’s Open March 25–26!

The freebies kick off on March 8 as Psyonix releases the Pop Punk Octane Decal, illustrated by Psyonix’s Concept Art Intern Cameron Unson! This bat, bone, and bubble-filled design pops perfectly off a soft turquoise background.

Next up is a solar-powered Sun Chaser Dominus Decal created by Graphic Designer Kelly Lobascio! With high-contrast colors and bold body lining, this decal tells the story of a mythical wolf pursuing the sun across the sky. In the end, the wolf chases away the day, plunging the world into an inky night. Pick this one up for free in the Item Shop starting March 15.

Grab an animated set of Purple Moonpaw Wheels for the final drop, courtesy of Senior 3D Artist Lindsey Gunsallus! Psyonix previously released the original Wheels for 2021’s Women’s History Month in a different color, but this time they’ve been rebuilt from magic pine needles and moonlight. Equip them starting March 22, and you’ll be leading the pack in no time.

FREE ITEMS TIMELINE

• March 8 - Pop Punk Octane Decal
• March 15 - Sun Chaser Dominus Decal
• March 22 - Purple Moonpaw Wheels
