Rocket League to get a tournament mode with a beta next month and more

In their recent news post, the developers Psyonix have put out their plans for Rocket League changes covering many months. There's quite a lot to look forward to and I'm certainly getting excited by it all.

Firstly, sometime this month they will put up a beta on Steam that includes their upcoming Tournaments Feature. This month they will also be adding in a new Crate, new RLCS fan rewards and the competitive Season 6 will end with Season 7 beginning. This should be due around February 7th.

In March, they will also be releasing a new "Licensed Premium DLC" along with a new seasonal event for Spring. It will be interesting to see what tie-in they have this time for the DLC, with previous licenses from Hot Wheels, Fast & Furious and more. I'm much more interested in the seasonal event, to see if they add any fun new items and maps to play with.

The tournaments feature will leave beta sometime in March/April along with the "Spring Feature Update". This update is a bigger one, with quality of life updates that includes item stacking, better item filtering and plenty more.

Lastly, April and beyond will see Cross-Platform Parties, so you can party up with people on other platforms, which is a really awesome idea, for those playing on Linux to team up with your less enlightened (a joke, don't hurt me) console friends. They will also attempt to make XP relevant again and allow you to earn Decryptors through playing the game. They're also teasing new arenas and other unnamed features.

You can see their new roadmap of what's to come here. There's a lot to look forward to for Rocket League fans, sounds like a good year ahead!
