Rocket League Neon Nights return in 2023 with a superstar collaboration with Platinum recording artist, Cochise.

The nights of Rocket League are once again bright with the return of Neon Nights for a 2023 edition. This is the second year Rocket League will celebrate the energetic event and we'll be enjoying the musical nights from Jan. 25 to Feb. 7. As usual, we will be seeing new items and Player Anthems together with two of our favorite Limited Time Modes.

Last year, Psyonix has worked with the visionary pop star, Grimes in creating memorable Neon Nights for 2022 and this year will be no different. In the announcement, Psyonix revealed a special collaboration with the Platinum recording artist, Cochise. The Florida rapper is the main star of the event, presenting us with a new single called Long Way which is written specifically for Rocket League. His song, Turn It Up from his album The Inspection, and Pocket Rocket, from his album Pocket Rocket, will also be available as Player Anthems.

  • Duration: Feb. 1 to Feb. 7
  • Description: Everything is super fast-paced in this mode, where the boost is unlimited with double the power. The ball will be larger but has less bounciness. Demolitions will be the way to go for you to defeat your opponent as it is demolitions on touch with only a one-second respawn timer. The goal is to score in the chaos of the explosive field.
