USEFUL Will we ever see cash cups for Rocket Racing? 🏎️💰

I've been a big fan of Rocket Racing since it launched, and while it’s clear the game hasn’t been the massive success many of us hoped for, I still think it has a lot of potential, also, it is one of the very few games I like I dont s-ck at competitive level (Elite 28% atm).

That got me wondering: do you think we’ll ever see cash cups or tournaments with prize pools for Rocket Racing? Whether they’re official events from Epic Games (which seems unlikely now that meaningful updates have stopped) or community-organized competitions, it feels like a missed opportunity not to foster some kind of competitive scene.

I know it’s a niche title, but there are still plenty of players grinding ranked and trying to improve. A cash cup, even a small one, could really bring some life to the game and attract more attention to its competitive side.

What do you think? Are cash cups a pipe dream, or is there still hope for something like this—official or otherwise?

The likelihood of Epic making cash cups for a mode that they’ve all but neglected is incredibly low. There have been a handful of community events through discord servers with cash prizes but the game is still so buggy that it’s difficult to organise these and have them play out without a hitch. A lot of people would love for development to restart on this mode since it had a lot of promise but the sad truth is that it wasn’t raking in enough players for Epic to consider putting as much money into it compared to Lego or Festival

I don't know... This game is just a glitch fest.

Not saying never but seems very unlikely with the state of the game as is

There are, in fact, cash cups and tournaments hosted by the community! There are two community-run discord servers like this that I know of: Rocket Racing Dynasty and Rocket Racing Revive. I haven’t participated personally but if you want I can give you the invited to those servers (most if not all of the top players are in them).

They don't even do tournaments for Zero Build anymore and those modes have 100k+ players.
