The event will roll out in three different celebrations. With new content available during each phase. Like past in-game events, players can earn ‘Cassettes’. Simply by playing Online Matches that can be redeemed. So you can choose from various items of the beloved ‘80s franchises. Also a nice new update for the game. But Psyonix should have done this sooner.
