Event overview
Psyonix is riding Season 21’s momentum, highlighted by a peak of 1 million concurrent players on January 25, with the limited‑time Goalentines event. Play matches to earn Goalentines Gifts that appear in your inventory; open them for a guaranteed shot at a Special‑tier cosmetic, with rarer Deluxe and Import items dropping for the luckiest players.
How to earn and open Goalentines Gifts
• Earn by playing: Play matches during the event window to receive Goalentines Gifts that appear directly in your inventory.
• Open for cosmetics: Open gifts to reveal items across rarity tiers, with a guaranteed Special‑tier drop and occasional Deluxe or Import surprises.
• Time‑limited: Gifts and event rewards expire when Goalentines ends on February 16 at 9 AM PT, so collect and open them before the deadline to avoid missing out.
Challenges and featured rewards
Goalentines includes a set of event challenges that award themed cosmetics, including:
• Cupid’s Bullseye Goal Explosion: A flashy, heart‑filled explosion that punctuates your best shots with Valentine’s flair; perfect for dramatic match‑winning moments.
• Teddy Bear Topper: A cozy topper that adds a playful, collectible touch to your car and pairs well with softer cosmetic sets.
• Hearty Party Decal: A festive decal covered in hearts and confetti that gives your ride an unmistakably Goalentines look.
Complete the event challenges to unlock these cosmetics and assemble a full Valentine’s‑themed loadout. Challenges are straightforward and designed to be accessible across playstyles, so whether you’re chasing the goal explosion or collecting the whole set, you’ll have clear, repeatable objectives to work toward during the event.

Unlimited XP Challenge
A standout of Goalentines is an unlimited challenge that awards 20,000 XP each time you complete it, turning the event into a powerful progression opportunity. That repeatable payout makes Goalentines especially valuable for players chasing Season 21 ranks: grinders can reliably farm meaningful XP, while casuals can still benefit from a few runs.
Because the challenge is repeatable, it rewards time and consistency rather than luck, letting you accelerate Battle Pass progress or unlock seasonal rewards faster. Don’t forget the deadline: the XP loop runs until February 16 at 9 AM PT, so plan your sessions to squeeze the most value from the event.
Why it matters
Goalentines smartly pairs collectible cosmetics with a high‑value progression loop, making the event rewarding for every playstyle. Casual players get a tidy haul of themed items: goal explosions, toppers, and decals, that let them craft a festive look without grinding.
Competitive or progression‑focused players can exploit the repeatable 20,000 XP challenge to accelerate Battle Pass tiers and seasonal unlocks, turning short play sessions into meaningful progress.
Because rewards span both one‑off cosmetics and repeatable XP, Goalentines encourages mixed approaches: chase the cute drops between matches, then run the unlimited challenge when you want to push ranks. The limited window also adds urgency, stack gifts and XP before the event closes on February 16 at 9 AM PT to maximize value.

Final Takeaway
Goalentines is live now and runs through February 16 at 9 AM PT: jump into matches to collect Goalentines Gifts, complete challenges for themed cosmetics, and farm the repeatable 20,000 XP loop while the event lasts. Stack and open your gifts before the deadline to secure Special, Deluxe, or Import drops, chase the Cupid’s Bullseye and Teddy Bear Topper, and make the most of this short window to boost your Season 21 progress.
