Credits in Rocket League can be used to get your hands on some of the sickest-looking cosmetics in the game, as well as upgrade the Rocket Pass or unlock blueprints in the game. If you’re a little short on Credits and are looking for a legitimate way to earn some freebies, dive in as we explain all the methods in detail.
Best Ways To Get Credits in Rocket League
There are a handful of ways you can get Credits in Rocket League, although some of them may require you to spend a small amount of money in the game. Since Credits are a premium currency of the game, it’s hard to obtain them without spending money at all unless the devs want you to. Below we’ll elaborate on all of these methods, so you don’t have to worry about scouring the internet for bits and pieces of information.
Rocket League Trading
The Rocket League trading has by far been the oldest way to get Credits in the game. You won’t need to spend a dime when you’re trading; however, to unlock this feature, you will need to purchase 500 Credits or spend $5 in the game. If you bought the game before it became free-to-play, then you’ll already have this option unlocked.

You can find players to trade with either in the Rocket League Garage or their official Discord channel. Once you’ve found someone, go inside the game and call them to your lobby. Then click on their name, and you’ll see an invite to trade option. Wait for them to accept, and then select an item from the trading panel.
You can also trade items for Credits. What this means is that if you get your hands on a pretty rare item from a drop, you can give it to another player for credit. Once both parties are satisfied with the items they want to trade, just click the accept trade option. Note that trading doesn’t happen cross-platform.
Rocket Pass
You can consider investing in the Rocket Pass to earn some free Credits in the game. While the Rocket Pass is a way for the devs to monetize the game and doesn’t seem like a way to get free Credits, it actually is.

By taking on the challenges of Rocket Pass, not only will you earn XP Boost, premium battle cars, premium Player Banners, titles, and much more, but you will also be able to receive some free Credits.
The Rocket Pass operates on a tier and progression system, where each tier includes exclusive rewards that are automatically unlocked by simply playing Rocket League and completing the designated challenges By doing so, you can obtain 1000 credits, which is equivalent to the amount you would spend on Rocket Pass. Essentially, it is similar to receiving cash back, and you will not be at a loss.
Exclusive Events
The Rocket League devs also keep on releasing events such as the Birthday Ball Event which come with pretty easy-to-do tasks that reward you with Credits in the game. So make sure you keep track of these as you don’t want to be missing out on some freebies.
