Radical Summer was an in-game event, kicking off on June 10, 2019. The 9-week event featured free items, new Premium Licensed DLCs, limited-time game modes, and more.
The event was split into three celebrations of the 1980s: Blockbusters, Culture, and Television. Each phase lasted three weeks. Similar to previous events, players could complete online matches to earn ‘Cassettes’ and redeem them for in-game '80s-themed items. Radical Summer's Event Store changed for each phase, bringing in new items each time. At the end of the event, the "redemption period" gave players a week to redeem Cassettes for any items they missed.[1][2]
