Developer Psyonix has announced that its soccer car game, Rocket League, will be free-to-play this summer on all platforms. The exact date when the game will transition to its new free-to-play model was not confirmed, but as part of this shift the game is also leaving Steam--although existing owners will be able to continue playing it there without issue.

　　Rocket League going free-to-play coincides with a number of changes, including adjustments to the Challenge and Tournament systems. Cross-platform progression for item inventory, Rocket Pass progress, and Competitive Rank will also be introduced with this update. You just have to link your information to a free Epic Games Account; Rocket League will also launch on the Epic Games Store and features cross-platform play with all platforms when it goes free-to-play this summer. It's worth noting that Psyonix was acquired by Epic Games in May 2019, hence why it will launch on the EGS this summer.
