Rocket League Goes Free-to-Play This Summer

Since launching over 5 years ago Rocket League has continued to be one of the most played games. Mostly thanks to Psyonix's constant updates and new cosmetic gear. Now the developer, which is owned by Epic Games, is going free-to-play this summer.

Psyonix provided a full blog post on the changes. Confirming that the game will come to Epic Games Store and go free-to-play on the same day. With cross-play between all players on Steam and Epic Games.

Rocket League will release on the Epic Games Store on PC the same time it goes free to play. This version of the game will be identical to the version found on other platforms, and will feature cross-platform play anywhere you play Rocket League, including between the Epic Games Store and Steam.

Anyone who played Rocket League online before this will receive:

All Rocket League-branded DLC released before free to play

"Est. 20XX" title that displays the first year you played Rocket League

200+ Common items upgraded to "Legacy" quality

Golden Cosmos Boost

Dieci-Oro Wheels

Huntress Player Banner

In addition, if you've played online before this announcement, you will also receive the Faded Cosmos Boost.  Legacy rewards will be granted once the free to play version launches later this summer. Check out the items in the slideshow below!

 

You may be wondering what will happen to the hard-earned inventory that you've unlocked over the years. Don’t worry, it will still be available to you when free to play goes live! Plus we’re introducing cross-platform progression with free to play, and you'll be able to bring items, Rocket Pass progress, and your Competitive Rank to every platform where you play Rocket League, thanks to an Epic Games Account. There's a lot more to share about that, so stay tuned in the coming months.

No exact date has been provided about when the free-to-play version will launch. With more details coming soon.

Rocket League is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
