Although Psyonix won’t continue selling the game through Steam, future updates will come to Steam, and players that already own a copy can continue to play. Thankfully, that doesn’t mean Steam copies are worthless.
Despite claiming that there were no plans to remove Rocket League from Steam, Psyonix will no longer sell the game there once the free-to-play update goes live. This hardly comes as a surprise, given Epic’s acquisition of Psyonix last year.
Along with the change in monetization, Rocket League is leaving Steam for the Epic Games Store. Following Rocket League‘s two week long fifth anniversary celebration, Psyonix announced today that the game will move to a free-to-play model later this summer.
