SteamOS and Mac Beta VersionsAs we continue to upgrade Rocket League® with new technologies like DirectX 11 and a 64-bit client, it is no longer viable for us to maintain support for the macOS and Linux (SteamOS) platforms. As a result, the final patch for the macOS and Linux versions of Rocket League was released on March 10, 2020. The Primary Platform is your Epic Games Account's source for all of your progression in Rocket League (i.e. Your Competitive Rank and Rocket Pass Tier). You should choose the platform where you've played Rocket League the most. Choose the platform where you have the highest Competitive Rank, the most Rocket Pass progress, and the most XP.
Rocket League Steam
After nearly five years, millions of players, and billions of soccar matches played, it's time to talk about the next chapter of Rocket League. The game wouldn't be where it is today without our dedicated and amazing community. Today, we're excited to announce that we're gearing up to make that community even bigger. Beginning later this summer, Rocket League is going free to play!
Rocket League Steam
What does this mean for the Rocket League gameplay you know and love? The core gameplay will remain the same, but we are refining the main menus to make exploring the game easier. Plus, we’re revamping and improving major features like Tournaments and Challenges, and introducing cross-platform progression! Rocket League action on the field will still be the same core, high-octane hybrid of sports and action you love today, and soon, even more players will share that love. That begins with Rocket League's release on its newest platform: the Epic Games Store.

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.
Rocket League Steam Price
Once Rocket League goes free to play, anyone who already owns Rocket League on any platform (including Steam) will be able to play and enjoy the game with full support for future updates and features. However, the Steam version will no longer be available to download for new players. To put it simply, wherever you play now (including Steam), you'll still be able to play in the future.
Anyone who has played Rocket League online before the launch of 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 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.
There will be plenty more to reveal as we get closer to Rocket League's free to play launch, like new features, content, and the cross-platform progression we mentioned above, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and visit RocketLeague.com for the latest updates. We'd like to thank everyone in our community for your continued support as we approach this milestone, and we're looking forward to introducing our game to a whole new audience!
- What is an Epic Games Account?
- What is a Primary Platform?
- What happens to my inventory, Competitive Rank, and Rocket League progress once I set a Primary Platform?
- What about Credits and Esports Tokens?
- Do I get anything for linking Rocket League to my Epic Games Account?
- Are there any items that don't transfer to my Epic Games Account after choosing a Primary Platform?
- What happens to my Rocket League progress on my non-primary platforms?
- Will Account Linking affect my ability to play Rocket League cross-platform?
- Can I play Rocket League without an Epic Games Account?
An Epic Games Account is your login for games published or developed by Epic Games. You may have an Epic Games Account if you play Fortnite. You can use that same Epic Games Account when linking your Rocket League platform. Once linked, your Rocket League inventory, Competitive Rank, Rocket Pass Progress, and XP will be added to your Epic Games Account.
The Primary Platform is your Epic Games Account's source for all of your progression in Rocket League (i.e. your Competitive Rank and Rocket Pass Tier). You should choose the platform where you've played Rocket League the most. Choose the platform where you have the highest Competitive Rank, the most Rocket Pass progress, and the most XP. That way, you'll be able to access that information on all of your linked platforms.
Once your Primary Platform is set and your other platforms are linked, you'll be able to access your inventory, Competitive Rank, and Rocket League progress from your Primary Account on all connected platforms. Rocket League Branded DLC will be added to your Epic Games Account regardless of where it was purchased, and will also be accessible on all linked platforms.
Credits and Esports Tokens will remain on the platform on which they were purchased. They will be a part of your Epic Games Account, but you will only be able to access and spend your Credits and Esports Token balances on the platform where you purchased them.
Yes! You will unlock the Chopper EG Wheel as soon as you link a platform to your Epic Games Account. It will be added to your inventory automatically.
Platform-exclusive items (Sweet Tooth, Hogsticker, Armadillo, Mario/Luigi NSR, Samus' Gunship, etc.) will not be accessible through your Epic Games Account, nor will DLC that is unlocked via retail disc. Platform-exclusive items will still be accessible on the platforms where they're available.
Premium DLC Packs with licensed content that was previously available in the Showroom (Back To The Future, Jurassic World, DC Superheroes, Fast and the Furious, Ghostbusters, Knight Rider, etc.) will not be accessible through your Epic Games Account, but will be accessible on the platforms where they were purchased. We are working to make Premium DLC accessible across platforms, but this will not be available when free to play launches.
As long as your additional platforms are linked to a Primary Platform, you will not be able to access your Competitive Rank and Rocket Pass Progress on those platforms. Your Competitive Rank and Rocket Pass Progress from your Primary Account will be accessible on all of your linked platforms.
Nope! Rocket League continues to offer full cross-platform play, whether you link your accounts or not.
No. An Epic Games Account is required to play Rocket League. Log into your existing account, or make a new one when you log into Rocket League. You can create a new account with one button press in-game with no additional information needed.
