Rocket League challenges to receive overhaul when games goes free-to-play

Big changes are coming to Rocket League's Challenges when the game becomes free-to-play, the game's developers announced on Wednesday evening.

Writing on the official Rocket League blog, the brains behind the ever-loved game revealed that alongside the new free-to-play aspect, Challenges would also be receiving an overhaul of their own, with a complete restyle and revamp 'game-wide'. 

The exciting announcement read: "You'll have a whole new way to earn items when Rocket League goes free to play, and it all starts with revamped Challenges. Currently, Challenges are part of Rocket Pass but soon, Challenges will be game-wide, and each will grant a reward upon completion. Here's everything you can expect to see when you check out the new Challenge system for the first time."

"You'll be able to track your Challenge progress in the all-new Challenges widget being added to the right side of the main menu, as well as in the Challenge Menu. The Challenge Menu is where you'll track your Challenges and see the rewards you can receive. It's also where you'll claim your rewards on all your completed Challenges, which you'll have to do once you complete them. Rewards will include customization items, XP, or our new Drops."

The announcement goes on to confirm that every Wednesday, three new challenges will be added into the game - keeping the content as fresh as possible for the players. These challenges will need to be completed during the week that they are announced, and Rocket Pass Premium users will receive a further three challenges in addition to those not paying for the subscription.

Players picking up Rocket League for the first time ever will encounter New Driver Challenges, as well as a variety of free items that the game will allow players to obtain as the season progresses.
