The sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League expands on its successful pedigree with improved graphics and physics systems, a robust new single-player campaign, considerable customization options, and a fully-charged multiplayer game geared for a next-generation action-sports experience.

Rocket League is a futuristic action-sports game where players pilot rocket-powered vehicles in an enhanced version of soccer by driving their vehicles into the ball and other players in a variety of arenas. Rocket League uses an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions between cars and the ball, where mass and momentum determine how hard balls and cars hit each other, creating a unique and visceral playing experience.

Psyonix has announced that Rocket League is going free to play later this summer! The free to play game update will be the biggest one yet and will include major changes to the Tournaments and Challenge systems. It will also add cross-platform progression for players’ item inventory, Rocket Pass progress, and Competitive Rank, by linking to an Epic Games Account. 

Rocket League will also make its debut on the Epic Games Store when it goes free to play. It will be identical to the version on other platforms and will feature cross-platform play with all Rocket League platforms. 

Once Rocket League goes free to play, 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 to download for new players.

Anyone who has played Rocket League online prior to free to play will be rewarded with Legacy status, which includes:

• All Rocket League-branded DLC released before free to play
• "Est. 20XX" title that displays the year when the player first started playing Rocket League 
• 200+ Common items upgraded to "Legacy" quality
• Golden Cosmos Boost
• Dieci-Oro Wheels
• Huntress Player Banner

Additionally, players who played Rocket League before today’s announcement will receive an extra item, the Faded Cosmos Boost.  These items will be awarded to player accounts when the game goes free to play.

More information on free to play will be revealed in the coming weeks, including specifics on the changes to the Tournament and Challenge systems.
