On 2020-09-15, Psyonix announced that Rocket League Free to Play would release on June 23, 2020. This date was also the day that Purchase/Downloads for new players on the Steam launcher was disabled. New Players after the Free to Play release can download the game on Epic Games Launcher on PC and the platform stores on consoles.

Rocket League gameplay

The gameplay of Rocket League extends from the previous title, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. In an arena, players drive a rocket-powered car to steer a ball more significantly than the opponent cars into the opposing team's goal. The side with the highest score wins the five-minute contest. If the two groups are deadlocked at the end of the five minutes, a sudden-death extra session is used to determine the winner. Players may personalize their cars in a variety of ways off the field. There are several methods for obtaining stuff for one's automobile or player banner. Furthermore, most things may be traded between users using the trading system.

Rocket League was released on all platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. This game offers cross-platform play, meaning players with a PlayStation can play this game with PC gamers. The game is played by one or more players on each team, locally or online. However, this cross-platform play isn't available on Xbox. For PC players, Rocket League is no longer downloadable from Steam. Instead, players can download Rocket League on the Epic Games Store.
