If you like Hot Wheels and if you like Soccer, then, what can go wrong with Rocket League ? Rocket League, everyone's favorite car/soccer-mash up video game will be FREE to play this summer.
The news was announced on the Rocket League website, and has also been confirmed that the it will be headed to the Epic Games Store. Cross-platform support will be available at a later time.
The dev blog reads: "The core gameplay will remain the same, but we are refining the main menus to make exploring the game easier. Plus, we're revamping cross-platform progression! Rocket League action on the field will remain the same core, high-octane hybrid of sports and action you love today, and soon, even more players will share that love. "
Well, the sad news here is that once the game goes free to play, it will also be leaving Steam. If you already own the game through this platform, you can still access it through there. You can only claim the free-to-play version on the Epic Games Store.
For those who have been playing the game for years, you'll be treated to some goodies to compensate you for purchasing the game.
The dev blog also states: “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.”
Well, at least us, veteran players, will be getting some exclusive goodies and that cross-platform progression. I'm not complaining about that !
All in all, I believe that this is a great move for Rocket League.
See you all in the field !
