Rocket League becomes free, but not on Steam

The Psyonix studio game will become free to play after five years and will no longer be available to new players on Valve’s platform.

Great things happen in the Rocket League. The favorite video game in which we try to score a goal with cars not only becomes free to play, but will also be removed from Steam. The new destination for all new Rocket League players on PC will be the Epic Games Store. Fortunately, all those who already have a Rocket League on Steam will be able to play it there still.

“The Rocket League will debut on the Epic Games Store when it becomes free to play. The upcoming version will be the same as those on other platforms and will offer the possibility of crossplay with all platforms on which the Rocket League is located "- said in a statement from the studio Psyonix.

Another significant thing that comes with the transition of the game to the Epic Games Store will be that the Rocket League will have a cross-platform progression. This means that the progress made in the game will be shared on all platforms in the future, ie you will be able to switch from the console to the PC and continue where you left off, or vice versa.

Anyone who purchases the game before its free version, and plays it between July 21 and the release of the free-to-play model, will be able to keep it and receive regular updates. The game will be removed from Steam, so future players will no longer be able to get it there. Veterans of this title, before the game switches to the free-to-play version, will receive Legacy status as a reward. This will allow them several rewards within the game, including all the DLCs that came out before the free version arrived.

The exact date when Rocket League will switch to the free-to-play model has not yet been determined.
