Rocket League Season 6 is dropping, and that means a brand-new update. Let's take a look at what was introduced in the Update V2.12 Patch Notes.
The latest Rocket League Season looks to take its players to an "Animated" wonderland, fuelled by brand new cosmetic items, plenty of microtransactions, a chock-a-block full Item Shop and, of course, a brand new Update. Now, the big question here is simple: what's in the bloody thing? But what's the answer? Well, it's a little complicated, and we're not ready to dive in just yet.
So! Here's how this is going to work. We don't want to waste your time. We do want your eyes to stay stiffly peeled to this page for as long as humanly possible, though. Thus, once you're all done with this bad-boy, don't forget to check out our guide to. What's the rank distribution? Well, click on that darn link! How is Halo Infinite going at the moment? That seems a little bit irrelevant, but hey, Halo's a much better and much more relevant game than Rocket League, so we'll allow it! Let's get on with things.
Here you are, everything you could possibly want to know. We're going to take a look at what Season 6's Update 2.12 is bringing to Rocket League, we're going to reveal where you can download it and when, and then we're going to give you the full Patch Notes straight out of the arse of Psyonix themselves. Delicious. Enjoy.
What's in Rocket League Update 2.12?
Rocket League v2.12 prepares the game for Season 6 and introduces a variety of changes and updates, as well as a vast selection of bug fixes. In terms of the new season, this includes the introduction of the new Arena, new items and more. As the Patch Notes reveal, though, we're seeing a large assortment of bug fixes also bumped, with most of them focusing on fixing particular issues with specific cosmetic items. This is all very exciting for Rocket League fans, and is something that we've been waiting for ever since Rocket League Season 5 burst onto the scene back in November, boring us so thoroughly that we were ready to eat our own hats...
