The highlight of *Rocket League* Season 18 is the introduction of the new Futura Garden arena, along with two new car bodies: the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and the Azura. The Daytona is immediately available upon purchasing the Season 18 premium Rocket Pass and features the Dominus-style hitbox. The Azura, available in the higher tiers of the premium Rocket Pass, comes with the Breakout style hitbox. Both car bodies are compatible with *Fortnite* once unlocked. Additionally, a new sound cue has been added to enhance the gameplay experience, providing a satisfying ping when the ball narrowly misses the goal.

Season 18 also introduces a variety of mutators that can alter game conditions in Exhibition Mode and private matches. Some existing mutators have been tweaked, while new ones have been added. Players can engage in season-specific challenges and competitive matches, as well as participate in Season 18 tournaments, which come with their own set of rewards. Any unspent points from Season 17 will be automatically converted into rewards.

On the technical side, Season 18 brings slight adjustments to the center of mass for several car bodies and refines the game's internal matchmaking processes within subregions. Numerous performance issues and bugs have been addressed, as detailed in the patch notes from Epic Games. To promote a safe and sportsmanlike community, players can now use voice reporting to report toxic behavior post-match, in line with the game's community rules.
