Rocket League developer Psyonix has released the free Mutator DLC as part of the latest game update, which also introduces a number of new antennas, custom options, and tweaks to the gameplay experience.

As previously detailed, Mutators are designed to mix-up the Rocket League formula by throwing in twists such as low-gravity, altering the shape of the ball into a cube, or changing the length of matches–among other things. A tease of the various Mutators can be seen in the video above, while a full list of changes and new features introduced in patch 1.08 can be found below.

On Tuesday, Psyonix celebrated the release of Fallout 4 with a special Vault Boy antenna that players can decorate their vehicles with.
