Rocket League keeps the free updates coming to keep its bustling community happy

Ice hockey and more is coming to Rocket League, and this should help developer Psyonix keep its fans playing.

Rocket League got a handful of paid downloadable content in October, but now the studio responsible for the car-soccer game is looking ahead to some free patches that could drastically change the way people play it. The first update, called Mutators, will introduce a number of options to mess with the game’s gravity, car behaviors, and ball shape/size in November. For example, you can turn the ball into a cube, which completely alters the way it bounces and moves. Then in December, Rocket League will get a free ice-hockey Mutator mode, which turns the field into a patch of ice and the ball into a puck. Considering Rocket League already has a lot in common with that sport, this seems like a great fit.
