‘Rocket League’ will soon be free to play on all platforms

The forthcoming update is Rocket League’s “biggest one yet,” according to Psyonix. It includes cross-platform progression for players’ item inventory, Rocket Pass progress and competitive rank when linked to an Epic Games account. If you’ve played the game prior to the free-to-play update, you will be awarded “legacy status.” This includes: “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 and a Huntress Player Banner.

When Rocket League launched in July 2015 it was available for the PC and on PlayStation 4. Since then the game has been a success, spurring an official championship and a line of Hot Wheels-style toy cars. The game is also available on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Update, 2:30PM ET: Updated to clarify that Rocket League will arrive on the Epic Games Store when the free to play update arrives, rather than released today as the article originally stated.
