In its promo video, Rocket League described "Hoops" as a dynamic basketball twist to the soccer-meets-driving concept. In addition to this new gameplay, the free update also includes a new arena called "Dunk House."

TechTimes adds that the basketball element will be part of the game's free update, which will let drivers play basketball with their cars. The previous version was inspired by a soccer game, but the new update will appeal more to basketball fans, especially with the in-game flags showing NBA team logos.

The "NBA Flag Pack" premium DLC will also be available, where players can set flags on their vehicles showing any of the 30 available NBA team logos. The paid content will be available at $1.99.

The new mode will also allow players to quick-save and rename replays. More features are expected to arrive with the new update when it releases.

Based on the video, gamers can play car basketball on the hardwood court. The two-versus-two game only features one arena, known as the Dunk House, where players attempt to hit a variety of acrobatic shots from long range or dunk the ball into the giant hoop to score points.

Venture Beat writes that "Rocket League" has over 14 million players across different platforms. Many gamers acquired the game when they availed of their PlayStation Plus subscription in summer 2015, although the game has sold well on the Xbox and PC as well. About 25 percent of games who already had their hands on "Rocket League" via Steam also availled of the paid update. 

The latest "Hoops" update is the game developer's latest effort to entice more gamers, as well as maintain their existing ones. Recently, "Rocket League" received several commendations at the BAFTA Games Awards, including Family Award, Best Sports Game award and Multiplayer award. The car game also received a nomination for Best Game.

The April 26 update will be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam. More updates and details on "Rocket League Hoops" are available soon.
