Smash Through A Winter Wonderland In Rocket League's Newest DLC
It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but Rocket League developer Psyonix is already bringing the winter holiday cheer in a newly announced event. Players can expect to get a few slapshots in with the “Winter Games” event and “Snow Day" Mutator.
As part of the free event, Psyonix is replacing the mutator mashup playlist (which triggered random gameplay twists like low gravity, altering the shape of the ball into a cube) with the hockey-inspired Mutator Mode, which lets players battle for control of an oversized puck on an iced-over field. Players are also getting seven new holiday-themed garage items, including Santa hats, present box stream trails, and deer antlers. Items can be acquired permanently after wins or losses, but players will only be able to collect them from the event’s start date of December 14 to January 4 when it ends. Check out the screens below for a better look.
In a twist of moods, Psyonix also recently announced the post-apocalyptic “Chaos Run” pack for $3.99, available December 1. Check out the Mad Max-inspired trailer here.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
