The Rocket League Pontiac Firebird is one of the biggest highlights of RL Season 20. Psyonix has brought this classic muscle car into the game. Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is, why it matters, and how you can unlock it.

Rocket League Pontiac Firebird overview

The Rocket League Pontiac Firebird is a special car body added in Season 20 of Rocket League. It’s designed after the classic Pontiac Firebird muscle car and uses the Breakout hitbox (which affects how it hits the ball).

Here are all the details:

3 things you should know about the Pontiac Firebird in RL

1. Because it uses the Breakout hitbox, if you're already good with Breakout cars (aerials, dribbling off edges, speed vs turning trade-offs), you’ll feel right at home. If you usually use different hitboxes (like Octane, Dominus), there might be a learning curve.
2. Since it's unlocked immediately with Premium at Tier 1, you don’t have to grind tiers or complete extra challenges first. That gives good value if you plan to play enough during Season 20.
3. The variety of painted versions and decals means you can customize its look a lot to match your style or other items.

How to get Rocket League Pontiac Firebird

Unlocking the Firebird in RL is simple:

1. Buy the Rocket Pass Premium for Season 20.
2. Once purchased, the Firebird unlocks immediately at Tier 1.
3. No additional challenges or tier grinding is required.

This means any player who owns the Premium Pass will have the Firebird in their garage right away.

How much does the RL Battle Pass cost

The Premium Rocket Pass in Rocket League costs 1,000 Credits (which is about USD $9.99 or equivalent in other regions).

Is Rocket League Pontiac Firebird worth it?

If you often buy Rocket Pass Premium, like Breakout-hitbox cars, or enjoy customizing your Rocket League car, then yes — the Rocket League Pontiac Firebird is likely worth it. It’s a good value for both style and functionality.

If you don’t care much about cosmetic items, already own many Breakout bodies, or avoid premium purchases, then maybe less so — you might get more value from other things in Rocket Pass or skip this one.

For me, the Rocket League Pontiac Firebird is a must-have for fans of muscle cars and Breakout hitbox users.
