The game concept

In Rocket League you try to score the most goals, or more than the opponent, within five minutes. For this purpose, the player has cars at his disposal. The game is played in 1-vs.-1, 2-vs.-2, 3-vs.-3 or 4-vs.-4 mode. Here, further game mode specifications can be set. Foremost and most commonly played are the Ranked mode ("Ranked") and a normal mode ("Casual""). Until the Rocket Pass update on September 5, 2018, there was also a "Rocket Labs" mode (experimental arenas), a "Snow Free" mode (with a puck instead of a ball), a "Baskets" mode (inspired by basketball), a "Rumble" mode (with various power-ups), and a "Dropshot" mode (scoring by shooting the ball through holes in the ground), all exclusively in the "Casual" variant. The "Rocket Labs" mode has been scrapped (experimental arenas are still playable in Rumble and private modes, though), and the remaining game types are only available as ranked matches.
