Our next Rocket League update arrives next week! Coming to all platforms on August 29, the Progression Update is focused on how and when you earn XP and how you play with your friends online.

Our overhaul of progression moves XP from Offline Matches to Online and will give first-time and Rocketeer players alike new ways to unlock FREE content. We've also removed the level 75 cap, added XP bonuses and created new in-game Titles you can earn over time. Be sure to catch up on new progression system details in our deep dive blog.

Joining the progression changes is Clubs, our newest in-game social feature. Clubs lets you and your friends organize and compete as a proper team within the Rocket League client. You'll be able to name your Club, create a custom Club Tag and have up to 20 players unified as one! We'll dive deeper into Clubs before the update goes live, so consider this a brief peek at what's to come.

What else is coming in the Progression Update?

  • Avatar Borders: A brand new Customization Item that lives alongside your platform's Avatar and your Player Banner!

  • Real-time filtering for text related to Clubs, Tournaments, and Party Chat

  • New Achievements and Trophies

  • A 'Particle Details' Video Option

  • Quality of Life (QoL) changes and bug fixes

  • ...and more!

What about Rocket Pass and RocketID? Rocket Pass will go live the week after the Progression Update is released -- be on the lookout for an in-game countdown once we're closer to the launch! As for RocketID and Cross-Platform Parties, we're still on track to release it before the end of September, as outlined in our latest Roadmap Update blog.

They've said that those who hit the cap but have more matches/time at 75 will be given more levels than those who just hit it but I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm not really sold on avatar borders yet considering there isn't much extra space on the current scoreboard.

I'm also pretty curious to see what they'll be offering for the customization rewards. They didn't mention how much more time we have in the current competitive season either so I guess this'll be a mid-season major change?

Edit: Just noticed that the example title for a level 1 player, in the Twinzer screenshot, is "Ball Chaser". Looking forward to the sense of humor in the rest of the progression update.

correct but will my level 59 convert to 59 or will it convert to 70 in this new system? if we could see our total xp earned in game it would probably be easier to see a conversion but judging by the post match screenshot i think they might be reducing in match xp by half so basically what you would earn in an offline/private game right now.


As long as the XP is flat per level (8k) it should only take about an hour at the longest to earn a level without the pass or other xp bonuses. this should also help keep people in matches till the end because that completion bonus is huge. always hated spawning into a game down 7 with 5 seconds left after waiting like 2 minutes to find a match. also hoping the consecutive match bonus is decent.

There has been some more clarification by Psyonix in the blog's reddit thread. They mention a few things about Clubs, Cross-Platform, and the ranked Sports Playlists. They also mentioned that the current competitive season is going to be extended past the progression update as well as after the launch of Rocket Pass.

Final word on the crossplay stuff in regards to console platforms and clubs (not that it really needs saying)

They are cross-platform, but the usual rules apply.
PS4 can't join clubs with Xbox and Switch. PC can join clubs with anyone, but once a console player joins, the Club is restricted to that crossplay "group" (PS4 or Xbox/Switch). This restriction lasts as long as those members are in the club.

Getting annoyed with these passes. Every damn game getting them and all of them take "about" 100 hours to complete. I ain't buying that shit on more than one game at most.

The thing that excites me about this one is I don't think it makes you do anything annoying. You just play the game normally. Fortnite's became unbearable because all of tedious stuff I had to do..

Hooray for more achievements!

I always like diving back in after an update to get the achievements but they haven't added any for a while.

Oh shit, clubs seems cool. And I can't wait for RocketID so I can get 4 and 6 player games set up in my household. It'd be nice for me to be able to play with my friends on PS and Xbox at the same time when we're not all together (I play on PC), but what can ya do?

This is one of my favorite 100% completed games Achievements wise so new ones means time to work to keep it again. Leggo!

Still gonna be grinding it out in Solo Standard, forever. I don't have any friends who can't absolutely lose their shit in rage when losing. Maybe with Clubs I can find people who don't do that.

Our previous blog took the wraps off of Clubs, a brand new in-game social feature that will unite you and your friends and make competing as a team in Rocket League easier than ever. If you're on the hunt for more details, you're in the right place!

Club Creation and Membership
First things first -- you can either create your own Club, or join one owned by a Party member! To create one from scratch, select 'Create Club' from the Play menu. From there, you, the Club Owner, can choose the name, tag, and preferred primary/secondary color set. Once it's up and running, you can…

  • Invite new members

  • Set Club News

  • Reset Club Colors

  • Change the Club Name or Tag

  • Disband the Club

  • Create or join Private Matches from the Club screen
Clubs_2.jpg


Want to queue up for a Casual or Competitive Playlist Match with some of your Club members? Then don't worry, you'll still party up and queue as you normally would. If your whole party is part of your Club and your opponents are all members of their own club, we activate a Club Match. In this mode, the stadium colors will change to each Club's Primary color, and the team names will update to reflect your Club names. If your colors are too similar, we'll randomly pick one team to use their Secondary color or a safe neutral option.

How does Club ownership work? Only current Club Owners can designate a new owner if they decide to leave or step down from the leadership position. Additionally, a Club Owner has to step down before they can fully leave a Club -- we don't want any leaderless Clubs roaming the Wasteland, now do we?

[Note: This may be the first place you run into our new real-time language filtering, as Rocket League and PsyNet will be actively filtering out some inappropriate Club Names and Tags during the creation phase.]

Looking to join a Club instead of starting your own? The Club Owner is the only person who can invite you in. To receive an invite, Party up with the Owner and you'll see a pop-up notification once it's sent. Clubs can have up to 20 members, Owner included.

Club Participation in Online Matches and Tournaments
When playing online in Casual or Competitive Matches or in Tournaments with your Clubmates, you'll Party up with them as you normally would and the Party Leader will queue your group up for matches. You can still play in every type of online match with players outside of your club as well, so you can mix and match away!

We're not tracking Club-level stats at this time, so shots, saves, wins, losses, and so on won't have any additional effect on your account or Club.

Verified Clubs
While anyone with a copy of Rocket League can create or join a Club, Verified Clubs will be reserved for Esports organizations in RLCS and Rivals Series, friends of Rocket League and Psyonix and notable community members and influencers. We'll be reaching out to these groups and individuals directly about verification in the coming weeks.

FAQ
Can I be in more than one Club at once?

Your account can only be in one Club at a time.

I don't want to own this Club anymore, what should I do?

No problem! You can transfer ownership to another member by selecting their name on the Club screen and selecting the transfer option from the drop-down menu.

How do I get my Club Verified?

At this time, we're reaching out to groups and individuals directly about verification.

My Club is Verified. What happens if I change the Club Name or Tag?

Changing the Name or Tag will cause the Club to lose its Verified status.

Where can Club Matches occur?

Club Matches can occur in Casual or Competitive Playlist matches. They do not occur in Private Matches or Tournaments.
