How to Fill Your Playlist: Methods for Getting Player Anthems
1. The Item Shop: Your One-Stop Anthem Emporium
The Item Shop is your central hub for purchasing individual Player Anthems. Here’s what you need to know:
- Daily Rotations: The Item Shop features a rotating selection of items, including Player Anthems, that change daily or every few days. Keep an eye out for anthems you like, as they might not be available again for a while.
- Credits Required: Player Anthems in the Item Shop are purchased using Credits, Rocket League’s premium currency.
- Cost: Prices for Player Anthems typically range from 100 to 300 Credits, depending on the anthem’s rarity or popularity.
- Exclusive Anthems: Some Player Anthems, like the highly sought-after Kernkraft 400 (Sport Chant Stadium Anthem Mix), are only available through the Item Shop on rare occasions. Check the shop frequently if you’re after a specific limited-time anthem.
- Bundles: Sometimes, you’ll find Player Anthems bundled with other cosmetic items, offering a potentially cost-effective way to expand your inventory.
2. Rocket Pass: Progress and Playlist Potential
The Rocket Pass offers a tiered progression system with both free and Premium tracks, allowing you to unlock various items, including Player Anthems, as you level up.
- Free Track Rewards: The free track of the Rocket Pass often includes a few Player Anthems, rewarding you for simply playing the game and progressing through the tiers.
- Premium Track Rewards: The Premium track (purchased with Credits) offers a significantly larger selection of rewards, including multiple Player Anthems that are exclusive to the Premium Pass.
- Leveling Up: To unlock rewards, you need to earn XP by playing matches and completing challenges. The more you play, the faster you’ll progress through the Rocket Pass tiers and unlock those sweet anthems.
- Time-Limited: Each Rocket Pass is only available for a limited time, usually a few months. Make sure to complete as many tiers as possible before the pass expires to claim all the rewards.
- Good Value: The Premium Rocket Pass is usually considered a great value for players who play Rocket League regularly, as it offers a wealth of cosmetic items, including multiple Player Anthems, for a relatively low price.

Challenges are another avenue for acquiring Player Anthems. These challenges vary in difficulty and can range from winning a certain number of online matches to performing specific in-game actions.
