The massively popular “Rocket League” gets a lot more exciting more than two years after its initial release in 2015. Thanks to a myriad of DLC packs and free updates, players continue to enjoy the vehicular soccer video game.
Starting next week, avid gamers of “Rocket League” will be able to get behind the wheels of two iconic cars that appeared in the hit “Fast & Furious” film franchise. The DLC pack that is themed around Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker’s car racing movie series will be launched on Wednesday, October 11.

Autumn Update available now
Last week, the game developer implemented the autumn update that introduced a host of free items, new arenas, and gameplay fixes.
Among the notable addition is the seasonal arena called Farmstead and as the name suggests, the matches are held in a field, with crops and farmland around it.
Gamers can also try out five standardized arenas, namely Starbase Arc, Wasteland, Champions Field (Day), Mannfield (Snowy), and DFH Stadium (Day). Then, they can also grab more than 90 free items to use on their vehicles such as a tiny bunny on top of the car, pinwheels, Taco Boost special effect, and more.

Meanwhile, the game is getting a Nintendo Switch demo, but it will only be limited to gamers who are located in New York. On Tuesday, Nintendo tweeted that the demo will be playable at Nintendo store situated at Rockefeller Center in New York from October 5 to October 8.
