iam8bit announces giveaway for signed Rocket League x Monstercat vinyl

Boutique merchandise retailer iam8bit has announced a giveaway for a signed copy of the Rocket League x Monstercat: 10 Year Anniversary vinyl soundtrack. According to a post on the company's Bluesky account, the giveaway offers fans a chance to acquire the two-disc LP set, which commemorates the decade-long history of the electronic music label that defines the game's audio identity.

The giveaway is currently active via a digital entry form linked in the announcement. While the social media post opens with the onomatopoeic "skrrrt skrrrt" of tires screeching, the prize itself is a serious piece of memorabilia for collectors of video game physical media. The set features a selection of tracks that have become synonymous with the vehicular soccer hit, pressed on vinyl for high-fidelity playback.

The Soundtrack of Supersonic Acrobatics

For the uninitiated, the relationship between developer Psyonix and the independent record label Monstercat is one of the most enduring partnerships in modern gaming. When Rocket League launched in 2015, it needed a sonic identity that matched its frantic, high-speed gameplay. Psyonix found that identity in Monstercat's roster of high-energy electronic dance music. The music doesn't just sit in the background. It punctuates the menus, celebrates goals, and fills the silence of the post-game lobby.

Monstercat was founded in 2011, and this specific vinyl collection was originally produced to celebrate the label's tenth anniversary. It serves as a greatest hits compilation of sorts, featuring tracks that have rotated through Rocket League's in-game radio stations over the years. For a game that has transitioned to a free-to-play model with digital seasons, physical artifacts like this vinyl set are among the few tangible ways to preserve its history.

From Digital Fields to Analog Grooves

iam8bit has been operating in this specific niche since 2005. The company specializes in taking intangible digital properties and manifesting them as high-quality physical goods. They are well known in the retro and preservation communities for producing premium vinyl soundtracks, art books, and occasionally re-releasing physical cartridges for legacy systems like the SNES. Their releases often feature elaborate packaging and custom artwork, positioning them as display pieces as much as audio formats.

The giveaway highlights a signed copy of the 2xLP set. While the announcement does not explicitly list every signature on the jacket, these items typically feature autographs from the musical artists or the development team at Psyonix. Given that many iam8bit releases are limited runs that sell out quickly, a signed copy represents a significant find for preservationists or hardcore fans of the franchise.

A Decade of Boost

It is difficult to overstate how far Rocket League has come since its origins. The franchise began life as the clunkily named Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars on the PlayStation 3 in 2008. That original title had the physics and the concept, but it lacked the polish and the audience. Psyonix refined the formula for the 2015 release of Rocket League, which exploded in popularity due to its inclusion in PlayStation Plus and its incredibly high skill ceiling.

Today, the game is a staple of the esports scene, owned by Epic Games, and continues to receive updates. However, as with all live-service games, the fear of delisting or server shutdowns eventually looms. Merchandise like this vinyl soundtrack ensures that at least the musical component of the experience survives locally, independent of server status or licensing expirations. For those interested in adding this piece of history to their shelf, the giveaway is open now.
