What Rocket League playlist was added in 2016 for experimental maps?

Rocket Labs was the Rocket League playlist added in 2016 for experimental maps. It gave players a way to test unusual arenas while Psyonix measured feedback and interest.

The playlist was introduced in February 2016. Unlike the standard arenas, Rocket Labs maps could experiment with different layouts, shapes, and play spaces. This made the playlist a testing ground before maps were considered for broader inclusion in regular playlists.

Rocket Labs is easy to confuse with Chaos Run, which was a paid DLC pack, or Rocket Pass, which is the game’s seasonal reward track. Ranked Duel is a competitive playlist format, not the name of the experimental-map program. The playlist reflected Psyonix’s broader approach of using live updates and community response to develop Rocket League after launch.
