Seasons are Jailbreak events that offer limited-time vehicles, customization items, and other prizes for leveling up and collecting XP. There have been two distinct formats used over the years, with the original season system used from the 2018 Winter Update to the 2020 Winter Update, and the revamped system following that and currently ongoing. It is unknown if, or when seasons will completely end.

Current season system
In the 2020 Winter Update, seasons were overhauled. Now, players progress by completing a daily list of police and criminal Contracts for XP, which feeds into a unified level system. There is a reward at each level from 2-10, which typically consist of one vehicle texture, one weapon texture, a grand prize vehicle at level 10, and any combination of rims, spoilers, and furniture items.

For 399, players can buy the Season Pass. This allows them to complete up to two more contracts per cycle, and gain access to 4 exclusive rewards, all for the current season only. There are exclusive rewards for what percent you get. Every season it is a different percent.

In the final days of every new-gen season, the developers double XP gain from contracts to give players a last-minute boost. There is no consistent time at which this happens, as the number of days is different each season.

Season 1: New Beginnings
Season 1: New Beginnings was the very first new-gen season, and had no specific theme. It was also the shortest, starting on December 20th, 2020, and ending on January 31st, 2021; a total of only 42 days.

Changes

 * Introduced brand new season system.

Level Bar

Season 2: Out of this World
Season 2: Out of this World was a space-themed season that ran from February 6th, 2021 to March 21st, 2021. It introduced new contracts and adjusted season difficulty based on community feedback.

Changes

Season 3: Looking Back
Season 3: Looking Back lasted from April 3rd, 2021 to May 25th, 2021, and used a nostalgia theme to coincide with Jailbreak's 4-year anniversary on April 21st, 2021. Items were mostly based on celebration or iconic things in Jailbreak culture.

Changes

 * Introduced furniture as a mainstay in season rewards.
 * At the end of the season, all rewards were offered with limited-time Robux prices for players that failed to obtain them by leveling up. This move was very controversial in the Jailbreak community, with many complaining about ruined item exclusivity and wasted effort for grinding the season. It has not happened again since.

Season 4: Epic Adventures
Season 4: Epic Adventures lasted from June 4th, 2021 to August 1st, 2021 and is notable for being the first community-fueled season: Creators on r/JailbreakCreations submitted items in a competition hosted by Badimo, and a select few were added to the game.

Season 5: Let the Memes Begin
Since the introduction of specific season themes, a "meme season" was a popular fan request. Badimo delivered on this with the community-made Season 5: Let the Memes Begin, which lasted 51 days, from August 7th, 2021 to September 26th, 2021. Rewards were mostly silly or whimsical items, with only a few being based on specific memes. One reward, the, was announced but not added due to concerns over copyright on the Troll Face. It ended up being replaced with the Clickbait Spoiler.

Changes

 * Changed XP requirements per level.
 * Reverted season pass price by 100.

Season 6: Race to the Top
Season 6: Race to the Top is a racing and car-themed season that began on October 1st, 2021 and ended on November 28th, 2021. It made numerous changes and additions to the season system.

Changes

 * Levels are now uncapped, allowing players to do more contracts and go beyond level 10.
 * Leaderboards were added to track the global players with the highest level and XP. They can be found at various places in the City, and at the Hypezone.
 * There are new bonus rewards which will be given to the top 25%, 10%, and 5% of all players at the end of the season.
 * Contracts were simplified to include robberies and arrests only, instead of miscellaneous tasks such as dropping helicopters into the volcano.
 * Contracts automatically accept and multiple can be accepted at once.

XP table
This table shows how much XP is required to reach each level. The "Day" column shows how long it would take to get to that level from the previous level while the "Total Days" column shows how long it would take to get to that level from level 1. This assumes that the player does their full set of contracts everyday. This is not 100% accurate, but should be the case for most players.

Season 7: Ice Cold
Season 7: Ice Cold is a winter-themed season that began on December 18, 2021 and ended on January 30, 2022.

Changes

 * Increased XP needed to level up.

Changes

 * Slightly decreased XP needed to level up.
 * Once again, there is only one bonus reward, however, that is given to the top 2% of players at then end of the season.

 * Season 1: New beginings was the shortest season only lasting 42 days.
 * asimo3089 said in this tweet that the Season 1 pass was given to anyone who had the XP Boost Gamepass for free, but moving forward after Season 1 ended, all users have to buy the season pass.
 * If you don't own the Season Pass, but buy the Season Pass while progressing, if you passed a level which is season pass locked, the rewards will be automatically unlocked. Otherwise the message in the chat will just say:  This was confirmed in a tweet by asimo3089.

Original season system
The original season system was introduced in the 2018 Winter Update: There were 50 levels to progress through on each team, with unique rewards on each side (typically including rims, spoilers, textures, and a vehicle). Almost every task in the game would provide some form of XP for leveling up, but team-specific ones like arrests and robberies were the biggest sources.

Season 4 was the last official event under this system, and upon its end on May 3rd, 2020, the system transitioned to uncapped levels with monthly resets. There were no rewards in these pseudo-seasons, except for earning a Nuke at level 50.

In the original seasons, a 99 XP Boost Gamepass was offered. It was a one-time purchase that boosted all XP gain by 50% (x1.5). When the season system was revamped, this gamepass and its boost was discontinued, but owners were grandfathered into the new system and received the 399-worth Season Pass of Season 1: New Beginnings for free.

Season 4
The reward list of the Original Season 4 consisted entirely of spoilers and the existing side perks of rocket fuel and level-base access. There were no new seasonal cars, and the purchasing of the Torpedo, Arachnid, R8, and Raptor was finally restricted. Due to its perceived lack of fresh content, this season received community criticism from many influencers and players. Season 4 was the last of the old-system seasons. It was also the longest, spanning a massive 182 days (or 6 months) from November 3rd, 2019 to May 3rd, 2020.

Trivia


 * As of the Season 3 update, the Torpedo and Arachnid became "unobtainable", but was still able to be purchased through a loophole.
 * As of the Season 4 Update, the R8 and Raptor became unobtainable. This is also when the Torpedo and Arachnid became truly unobtainable.
 * To reach level 50 with the old XP system, players had to earn 54,904 XP.
 * For a Criminal, this can be obtained by completing 288 (184 with XP Boost) robberies, not including the Cargo Train and Cargo Ship.
 * For the police, this can be obtained by arresting 458 (306 with XP Boost) Criminals or Guilty Prisoners, not including busting bank robberies.
 * To help players max out levels before the end of old Season 1, Badimo temporarily doubled XP gain in the Fire Update.
 * In the old Season 2 Update, players received 5 XP for killing other players without the 50% XP season pass or gamepass. If they had it, they received 7 XP. This did not include kills from punching, explosives, or melee weapons.
 * When they were first released, the level displayed over someone's head would be red, regardless of the team they were on. This was soon changed to white to avoid confusion with Criminals.
 * If the player did not have enough money to join in the old seasons, the GUI to enter the season would not appear.
 * Season 4 is the longest Jailbreak season in history, lasting 182 days. Season 3 formerly held the record of 134 days.
 * In Season 2, the Torpedo and Arachnid had their level requirements decreased from Level 30 to Level 5 Criminal for the Torpedo, and Level 5 Police for the Arachnid. This was most likely done so that players who had purchased these cars in the previous Season 1 could obtain them easily as vehicle spawning was not implemented yet.
 * In Season 4, it says the Triple Fin Spoiler is unlocked at Level 10 on the Police Team, while in the game you need to be Level 15.
 * All customizations from Season 2 and Season 3 could be purchased even after the season has ended, though it still needed the level requirement.
 * Seasons are hinted after asimo3089 said L, S, and V on three separate tweets.
 * Players thought "L" and "S" hinted a potential new vehicle called the Lexus LS, but was never added.
