Rocket Leagu e’s success is worth studying. After a launch with which it did not manage to attract too much attention, it was not until its passage through PSN Plus as a free monthly game that its recognition multiplied to unsuspected places. After several years being the protagonist of many events and tournaments, now, its creators have decided to make the leap to free to play.
Rocket League becomes free
This has been announced by Psyonix through a statement, from which they shout to the four winds that the arrival of summer will turn their hilarious soccer game with radio controlled cars into a completely free title that can be downloaded by players from all platforms.
At the moment the free version is not available for download, but when it does, a series of new features will be released that, maintaining the essence and gameplay of the game, will improve the user experience in many ways. For example, a multiplatform progression system will be included that will allow us to improve our statistics regardless of whether we change platforms.
Tournaments and challenges will be improved, and in addition, the game will finally arrive at the Epic Games Store , so PC players will have another place where they can download the game and include it in their personal library.
What if I bought it?
Those who have previously purchased the game will receive a series of extras and rewards for having previously opted for the title. Those veteran players will receive the Legacy label, and they will get all these accessories completely free of charge:
- All Rocket League DLC released before free to play.
- Decoration “Est. 20xx ”to show off the year you first played the game.
- More than 200 common elements updated to the Legacy category.
- Boost Golden Cosmos.
- Dieci-Gold Wheels.

Thanks to the new cross-platform progression functionality, all your achievements and rewards obtained during this time will be safe, so when you go to Free to play mode you will continue to have all your achievements and rewards that you have accumulated over time.
Where does the success of Rocket League come from?
As we have already commented, the game experienced a significant increase in users at the time that Psyonix decided to offer its title as a free game in the PSN Plus rewards. After that move, Rocket League accumulated millions of downloads, and added to being one of the standard bearers of the crossplatform game, they led this cute soccer game with cars to be a favorite of many users.
It is also necessary to add the competitive touch that the game offers, and the possibilities at the level of gameplay that are reached in many of its games. In short, we are facing a tremendously addictive multiplayer game that was expected to make the leap to free to play after gathering millions of players around the world.
When can it be downloaded?
Psyonix has not given an exact date, and simply talks about “summer” as the time when the free version of Rocket League finally arrives. By now we all know that the scorching summer heat is already with us, so we’ll see how far they stretch to launch the game.
