Psyonix unveils Rocket League's new monetisation system ahead of loot boxes' December removal
Back in August, Psyonix revealed that it would be removing paid, randomised loot boxes from its hugely popular four-wheeled football game Rocket League, and now the developer has shared first details of the monetisation system that will replace them.
In a new blog post, Psyonix explains that Rocket League's current Crates (as its loot boxes are called) will soon make way for Blueprints and a new cash store, both working in tandem with a new premium currency. Blueprints have a chance to drop at the end of a match, and can be turned into an item - either immediately or at a later point - by spending Credits. Unlike blind loot boxes, players can see exactly which item a Blueprint can be crafted into beforehand.
Credits will also be required to purchase Rocket League's premium Rocket Pass tier, and to acquire items from the game's new rotating item shop. The latter, says Psyonix, will feature both new items and legacy Crate content that players might have missed previously.
