Psyonix to remove Crates from Rocket League
Developer announces its intention to remove crates later this year
Psyonix has annouced that it is removing loot boxes, aka crates, from its Rocket League game later this year.
In a statement online, the developer cites the reason as "creating the best possible experience for our players all over the world":
"Here at Psyonix, and Epic Games as a whole, we are dedicated to creating the best possible experience for our players all over the world. In pursuit of that goal, later this year we will remove all paid, randomized Crates from Rocket League, replacing them with a system that shows the exact items you're buying in advance. This is similar to changes implemented earlier this year by the Fortnite Save the World team.", the statement explains.
It also mentions that Rocket Pass Premium, DLC Cars, and Esports Shop items will continue to be offered for direct purchase alongside the new system.
