A high-octane multiplayer game, Rocket League gives players control over a variety of vehicles that are used to play soccer and score goals with giant balls, unique tricks, and powerful boosts. Players are able to customize their vehicles to enhance gameplay and showcase personal esthetics, with new decals and celebrations considered to be welcome additions to the game.
Rocket League recently announced a massive new in-game bundle that will introduce the iconic Lightning McQueen from Disney and Pixar. The main protagonist of the animated Cars franchise, Lightning McQueen is known for his incredible speed, intense competitiveness, and "Ka-chow" catchphrase. Players have been asking for quite some time for the classic character to be added to Rocket League, particularly as memes have boosted Lightning McQueen's popularity in recent years.

The official Rocket League announcement page notes that some of the game's toppers, boosts, trails, and goal explosions can be customized with Lightning McQueen, but different antennas cannot be used. Players should note that other branded items have varying restrictions and may not be compatible with a Lightning McQueen build.
Fans have already begun celebrating the announcement, with many players commenting on how surprised they are to see that the Rocket League developers were able to negotiate a deal with Disney and Pixar. One fan in particular commented that they never expected Lightning McQueen to actually make it into the game in their lifetime, showcasing how exciting this new addition is for many players.
