Rocket League will go free-to-play next week, and a new update is coming tomorrow to prepare for the launch.
On September 23, Rocket League will go free-to-play, and to celebrate, the developers are also throwing an in-game event, Llama-Rama, soon after launch with more details coming next week.
In preparation for the release and event, an update will be live on all platforms tomorrow to lay the groundwork for the free-to-play change.
Details on what is included with the update are below along with more information on the free-to-play switch.
Rocket League September 16 update
- Cross-platform progression: You’ll be able to link your platforms to your Epic Games Account starting tomorrow for existing players. For all the details on cross-platform progression, check out last month’s blog.
- Legacy Status and Items: For those who already own Rocket League and are eligible for Legacy Status, the items that were revealed in July (Golden Cosmos Boost, “Est. 20XX” Player Banner, Rocket League-branded DLC, etc.) will hit your inventories with tomorrow’s update.
- Support-a-Creator: In addition to joining the Epic Games Store, Rocket League will also be joining Epic’s Support-A-Creator program. You can choose to support a Creator of your choice in-game by entering the Creator’s code in the Item Shop, beginning tomorrow with the game update. For Rocket League, accepted Creators will earn 5% of Credits spent while using their Creator Code. Codes for Creators currently in the program will work in Rocket League starting tomorrow. There are many of your favorite Rocket League creators already part of the system and more will be added in the near future. If you’re interested in becoming a Creator, go to the Epic Support-A-Creator page for more information.
