Rocket League Season 17 Extended, Season 18 Teased for March 2025

CHICAGO, Ill. — Psyonix has announced an extension for Rocket League‘s Season 17, now concluding on March 14, 2025. This adjustment postpones the highly anticipated Season 18, originally set to start on March 5, by nine days. The announcement was accompanied by a teaser hinting at new content featuring a ‘crossbar ping.’

Season 17 commenced on December 4, 2024, introducing players to new features including the Shokunin vehicle and a Neo Tokyo Arena variant. Alongside seasonal events such as the Free Play Party and Frosty Fest 2024, gamers have enjoyed various arcade-themed updates that embody a vibrant and nostalgic aesthetic.

While the reason for the delay was not elaborated, the teaser highlighted the phrase ‘crossbar ping,’ which has ignited discussions among the community. Fans speculate whether this suggests an audio effect when the ball hits the crossbar or potential changes to correct the occasional buggy physics associated with it. As of now, no detailed information about Season 18 has been disclosed.

Psyonix typically provides announcements regarding new seasons roughly ten days in advance. Prior to this decision, the expectation was to unveil new content toward the end of February. Now, an official update concerning Season 18 is likely to be shared on or around March 4.

According to industry standards, Season 18 is expected to introduce a unique theme, a new car body, fresh cosmetics, limited-time modes, and additional features. The consistency of these updates has maintained player interest and excitement. However, frustration has also surged within the community, particularly among Xbox players, regarding ongoing game issues and the necessity for fixes before the rollout of the new season.

Although controversy surrounds the current state of the game, players are still able to earn rewards during the extended Season 17. Eventually, gamers will have the chance to explore what Season 18 holds.
