The Rocket League Season 3 update is going live on April 6

The Rocket League Season 3 update is going live on April 6 via the PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, and a day later the season will begin on April 7. After revealing the Rocket League Items highlights of Season 3-- which include several new cars -- and the Rocket Pass for the new season, Psyonix and Epic Games have relayed additional details about the update, which will include a long-awaited and very handy feature.

More specifically, today the pair went into detail about how the update -- which will go live on April 6 at 4 p.m. PDT -- will improve the trade-in system. And to this end, the update will introduce the "Trade-In" menu.

As most of you will know, you can trade in five items of the same rarity for a single item of the rarity above it. This is the "trade-in" process, and it's necessary to manage bloated inventories. That said, the current trade-in system is quite tedious. Thankfully, Pysonix is aware of this and is fixing this.

With the update, a dedicated "trade-in" button is being added to the Garage Menu. Within this, you will be able to see your entire tradeable inventory organized into three different categories: Blueprints, Core Items, and Tournament Items. From here, each item is organized by rarity. Further, the menu will display how many trade-ins you have available. Combine all of this, and the result is a system Psyonix says is far quicker and far more efficient.

"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 Buy Rocket League Items an item of higher rarity," reads Pysonix's pitch of the system. "You can repeat this same process for your items earned from Competitive Tournaments, as well as Blueprints."
