Things are also changing significantly for the PC version of the game. When the free version of Rocket league launches, will be moved from Steam to the Epic Games Store. (Psyonix was acquired by Fortnite-maker Epic last year.) Here’s how the study explains:

Once Rocket league The game is free, anyone who already owns it on any platform (including Steam) will be able to play the game with full support for future updates and features. However, the Steam version will no longer be available for download for new players.
For anyone who has purchased the game before the free version begins, Psyonix offers a number of in-game rewards, including “all Rocket leagueBrand DLC released before free play. “
The developer says he expects more news about the transition “in the coming weeks.”
