Psyonix has announced Rocket League is going free to play on September 23 at 11:00 AM ET. As mentioned back in July, if you already own Rocket League on any platform, including Steam, you can continue playing, as you always have. However, if you’re a noob, Steam will not offer the game at all, so you will need to grab the PC version from the Epic Game Store.
If you add Rocket League to your Epic Games library between September 23 and October 23 you will receive a $10 EGS coupon that is redeemable on games and add-ons $14.99 and up.
If you have played Rocket League online prior to launch of free to play, you will be rewarded Legacy status, which includes the following:
- All Rocket League-branded DLC released before free to play
- “Est. 20XX” title that displays the first year you played Rocket League
