So let's dive right into the Rocket League Season 3 patch notes below.

Trade In Update

• Trade Ins are now managed in their own section in the Garage
• All Trade In-eligible items fall into three categories:
  • Core Series Items
  • Tournament Items
  • Blueprints
• The Trade In menu displays how many eligible Trade Ins you have, sorted by category and rarity
• Trade Ins still operate the same way as before:
  • 5 Uncommon = 1 Rare
  • 5 Rare Items = 1 Very Rare
  • 5 Very Rare = 1 Import
  • 5 Imports = 1 Exotic
  • 5 Exotics = 1 Black Market
• Tournament Items and (revealed) Blueprints can now be traded in regardless of series. The Tournament Item or Blueprint you receive from a Trade In is directly tied to the series of the items you traded in.
  • For example, if you trade in three Ignition Series Blueprints and two Ferocity Series Blueprints, you'll have a 60% chance to receive an Ignition Series Blueprint and a 40% chance to receive an Ferocity Series Blueprint.

• Fixed a bug affecting the “Invite to party" option in Friends List if both players are playing through the Epic Games Store
• [Tournaments] Teams that have won two out of three matches should no longer see extra matches generated against the same opponent
  • This bug fix is dependent on PsyNet updates related to tournament access and matches that are happening in the coming weeks

We're not sure F1 cars were built with Rocket Boosts in mind, but you can check out the trailer of how they're going to look in-game below.

Both F1 and NASCAR crossover content is due to drop in May, around a month after Rocket League Season 3 kicks off on April 7th.

Trade-In Button

Season 3 will bring a Trade-In button to the garage, making it much easier to navigate.

"In the new Trade In menu, you'll see your tradable inventory organized into three categories: Core Items, Tournament Items, and Blueprints. Your items in each of these categories are organized by rarity. This new menu displays how many Trade Ins you have available, making it much easier to trade your items in quickly and efficiently.

Simply select the rarity of the item you would like to receive from the Trade In. Then, you can select your items and trade them in for an item of higher rarity. You can repeat this same process for your items earned from Competitive Tournaments, as well as Blueprints."
