Credits are Rocket League's only currency: they buy item-shop cosmetics, build blueprints, and unlock the premium Rocket Pass. Since player-to-player trading was removed in late 2023, the ways to get credits are fewer — so it's worth knowing exactly what each one costs.
The official prices
Straight from the in-game store (prices at the time of writing):
- 500 credits — $4.99 / £4.34
- 1,100 credits — $9.99
- 3,000 credits — $24.99
- 6,500 credits — $49.99
For scale: most item-shop cars and goal explosions run 800–2,000 credits, decal sets 300–800, and the premium Rocket Pass costs 1,000.
The Rocket Pass partially pays you back
Buy the premium Rocket Pass (1,000 credits) and the tier rewards include credits — grind enough tiers in a season and you recover a large chunk of what you paid, plus dozens of cosmetics. If you play regularly, premium passes are easily the best credits-per-pound in the official ecosystem: pay once, then roll the returned credits into the next season's pass.
"Free" credits — the honest version
- Rocket Pass free track: occasionally drops small amounts.
- Tournaments: pay out Tournament Credits — a separate currency for tournament item cups, not shop credits. Don't confuse the two.
- Credit generator sites and giveaways promising thousands: scams, every single time. There is no legitimate free-credits faucet.
Trading is gone — what that means
Epic removed player-to-player trading in December 2023, which killed the old "trade up cheap items for credits" economy. Item values that used to float on the player market are now fixed by the item shop's rotation, so credits themselves are the whole game — which makes how much you pay per credit the only lever you control.
Paying less per credit
That's where we come in: our Rocket League top-ups deliver credits to your platform for less than the in-game store. Pick your amount, check out through Stripe, follow the short delivery steps, and the credits typically land the same day — backed by our warranty and 24/7 support.
Quick answers
Are Rocket League credits cross-platform? Credits are granted on the platform where they were purchased, but items you buy travel with your Epic account under cross-save.
Can I still trade items with friends? No — player-to-player trading was removed in December 2023.
What's the cheapest way to get credits if I play every season? Premium Rocket Pass plus a discounted top-up for the initial 1,000 — the pass's credit returns compound from there.
