Here’s the release date for *Rocket League* Season 18 and what new features fans can expect with it.

Rocket League Season 18 Release Date

*Rocket League* Season 18 went live on Friday, March 14 at 12 pm EST across all its platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Players who log in during Season 18 can claim the exclusive Future Fashion player banner. Additionally, until 2:59 am EST on Friday, March 21, players can grab the Breathe player anthem from the item shop at no cost, as part of the season's launch incentives.

Season 18 is set to run until Wednesday, June 18, giving players ample time to complete Rocket Passes and other seasonal challenges to earn rewards. To maximize your experience, the new premium Rocket Pass offers access to exciting new car customizations, allowing players to score goals in style. With a fresh arena, new mutators, features, and car bodies, *Rocket League* continues to accelerate into new territory this season.

Rocket League Season 18 New Features

The standout additions to *Rocket League* in Season 18 include the new Futura Garden arena and two new car bodies: the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and the Azura. The Daytona, available immediately upon purchasing the Season 18 premium Rocket Pass, features the Dominus-style hitbox. The Azura, unlockable at higher tiers of the same pass, uses the Breakout style hitbox. Both car bodies can be used in *Fortnite* once unlocked. A new sound cue adds excitement, pinging satisfyingly when the ball narrowly misses the goal.

A variety of mutators can now tweak game conditions in Exhibition Mode and private matches, with new mutators introduced and some existing ones refined. Players can engage in Season-specific challenges and competitive matches, as well as participate in Season 18 tournaments, which come with their own set of rewards. Any unspent points from Season 17 will be automatically converted into rewards for Season 18 players.

On a technical front, Season 18 adjusts the center of mass for several existing car bodies and improves the game's internal matchmaking processes within subregions. Numerous performance issues and bugs have been addressed, as detailed in the patch notes from Epic Games. For player safety and to foster a sportsmanlike community, a new feature allows voice reporting of toxic behavior post-match, in line with the game's community rules.

That wraps up everything you need to know about *Rocket League* Season 18.
