As announced, Rocket League has switched to free-to-play. The change has been implemented on all hardware platforms, including PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

At the same time, the PC version of the game debuted on Epic Games Store and was removed from Steam. However, those who previously purchased Rocket League on Valve's store will still be able to play without any problems and will receive all updates.

To encourage players to download Rocket League on Epic Games Store, a notable promotion has been prepared.

The game offers a cross-play function, allowing owners of different platforms to have fun together. Last year, Psyonix, the studio responsible for this project, was purchased by Epic Games.
