Keys were items and currency in Rocket League that could be bought from a player's specific platform marketplace. They were used to unlock crates and make other purchases. They came in sets of 1, 5, 10, and 20. They could also be traded with other players and were commonly used as currency.
When bought, keys were untradable for 7 days. If a key that couldn't be traded was used to open a crate then the item from the crate was not tradable for the remaining period of that 7 days.
On December 2, 2019, Psyonix announced the keys-to-credits conversion change.[1] Two days later, Keys were retired and replaced with a new premium currency, Credits, as part of the Patch v1.70 update.[2] Keys that were still in players' inventory on the day of the update were converted to Credits. Each Key converted to 100 Credits that can be used in the Item Shop, to build items from Blueprints, or upgrade to Rocket Pass Premium.[3]
Over a year later, on February 22, 2021, Psyonix announced that any player who had purchased keys to open crates before they were retired, would be given 1000 Credits as a "class action settlement."[4]

2016 Price update[]
On September 23, 2016, Psyonix announced that international key prices for Steam users would be brought inline with USD key prices:[5]
This alignment is necessary because Keys are part of Rocket League's active economy. Some price adjustments are more dramatic than others, but are necessary to reflect the appropriate and approximate value of the keys regardless of your country of purchase. 
Prices for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users would also be updated at a later date.
