Rocket League going free to play soon
Psyonix, the developer of Rocket League, has announced that Rocket League is going to become free to play later this summer. This will come with a big update that includes major changes to the Tournaments and Challenge systems. Cross-platform progression will also be added for players’ item inventory, Rocket Pass progress, and Competitive Rank by linking to an Epic games Account.
With this update, Rocket League will also make its debut on the Epic Game Store and will be identical to other platform versions and features cross-platform play with all Rocket League platforms. With the game coming to the Epic Games Store, the game will also disappear from the Steam Store, but players who already own a Steam version will be able to download their copy on the Epic Game Store.
All players who already own a paid version of Rocket League will be rewarded with the Legacy status which includes a Rocket League-branded DLC that releases before it becomes free to play, a special title that shows when he or she has started playing, over 200 common items will be upgraded to “Legacy” quality, Golden Cosmos Boost, Diecri-Oro Wheels, and a Huntress Player Banner. Additionally, players who played Rocket League before this announcement will also get the Faded Cosmos Boost. All these items will be awarded to player accounts when the game becomes free to play.
More info on free to play will be revealed in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
