“Snow Day” Coming to Rocket League

Psyonic announced today that its sports-action game Rocket League is serving up its own brand of Christmas cheer with new items ans additions.

Starting December 14th, the previously-announced hockey-inspired Mutator Mode, renamed “Snow Day,” will officially join the “Mutator Mashup” online playlist. Boasting an iced-over field and a heavy, disc-shaped hockey puck, “Snow Day” brings a new twist to Rocket League’s soccer-style gameplay.

In addition to the “Snow Day” Mutator, the update also brings seven new holiday-themed Garage items, including an “Xmas” Rocket Trail, “Christmas Tree” Topper, “Candy Cane” Antenna, and several more. Though the chances of getting “Winter Games” items are lower than that of a standard drop, players have a chance to find one following the completion of any match, win or lose, and will permanently keep the item once found. Fail to collect all holiday items before January 4th, however, and you’ll have to wait until next year to find them again.

Both the Snow Day update and the Winter Games items are absolutely FREE on PlayStation®4 and Steam PC.

For players interested in a darker, post-apocalyptic Rocket League, the game’s newest DLC add-on, “Chaos Run” will be available on both PlayStation Network and Steam for $3.99 starting December 1st.
