Last week, the long-awaited Ooblets announced its early access launch for PC on Epic Games. This is the latest move by Epic Games to challenge Steam’s PC storefront dominance. Rocket League already includes microtransactions, but it’s possible more might roll out to monetize the game more similarly to Fortnite - Epic Games’ free-to-play behemoth.

The developers say that the transition will also include the revamp of tournaments and challenges.

But existing players will still be able to use Steam to play Rocket League. However, it will be “Summer 2020”, which means it should happen before the end of August.Īfter the transition, new players won’t be able to download the game on Steam. Psyonix hasn’t announced the exact date of the free-to-play transition.

They can also link their accounts to the Epic Games Store to restore any in-game purchases or items. Players who have paid for the game will receive Legacy status and a series of in-game items. 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,” Psyonix said in the announcement. “Rocket League will release on the Epic Games Store on PC the same time it goes free to play. However, the new announcement means that the game will be free for new users to join and play once it rolls out on the Epic Games Store.
