Psyonix has announced that Rocket League is going free-to play later this summer.
In a post on the game's official website, the developer revealed that it will be revamping and improving major features such as Tournaments and Challenges as a result, as well as refining the game's main menus.
However, the core gameplay will remain the same and cross-platform progression will be introduced as well, seemingly across all platforms including a new release on the Epic Games Store.
Those who have already purchased Rocket League in the past will be rewarded with 'Legacy' status, which will feature a variety of perks including the following:
- 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
Furthermore, the hard-earned inventory that you've unlocked over the years will also carry over.
"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!"

As a football fan this game just never gets old.
I wonder if they'll give any perks to those that have already purchased it. Twice.
I paid for it on Switch and have it via Gamepass on Xbox, but I've never been able to get into it....
@Grot What's the big deal about having an Epic account?
@PeterPanana Tencent maybe, idk
@Grot I didn't know about Tencent, but Googled it and I can see your point. I feel like it's inevitable though that if we want to enjoy some of the most popular games, we'll need to comply with having one. I already had one so I guess it doesn't matter to me anymore, but good to note.
