How to obtain new wheels in Rocket League and Fortnite for free

Freebies, but for two games.

Epic has announced a new set of freebies for Rocket League and Fortnite players, who can obtain Picture This Wheels and more between now and the first week of September. Like many cosmetics in the past, these wheels can be used simultaneously in both games and can be earned for free.

The latest set of freebies went live earlier on Aug. 21 to mark the commencement of the Champions Road Tournament for Rocket League. While the tournament is for the pros, you can make the most out of it with the help of the new cosmetics.

How to get the Picture This Wheels in Rocket League and Fortnite?

The latest wheels are just one aspect of the free cosmetics available to players as of Aug. 21. All the cosmetic rewards are part of the latest Twitch Drops programs. While some of these items are usable in both games, you must watch Rocket League streams on Twitch to unlock the rewards.

Here’s the complete list of all the available rewards.

  • Rival Wheels: 30 minutes
  • Aero Mage Wheels: 1 hour
  • Patriarch Pro Wheels: 2 hours
  • Big Splash Goal Explosion: 3 hours
  • Picture This Wheels: 4 hours

The rewards don’t stop there. You can keep earning more rewards once you go past the threshold of the first four hours. After watching the streams, you’ll get a random art style (apart from Patriarch Pro Wheels) every 30 minutes. This is allowed until you hit the maximum cap of 10 hours of watching the streams.

There’s one more cosmetic you can earn on Sept. 9, as Apex Wheels will be obtainable by watching an hour of Rocket League World Championships First Touch Live, which will be broadcast on Rocket League’s official Twitch channel on the above-mentioned date between 11am PT and 12:30pm PT.

The full Twitch drops campaign went live on Aug. 21 and will be available until Sept. 10. There’s plenty of time to notch up the required four hours to unlock all the wheels. If you have more time, you can keep watching the streams longer and unlock free paint palettes for your new wheels.

Once you have obtained the rewards in your Rocket League inventory, they will be automatically available in Fortnite (as long as applicable).
