Developer Psyionix Studios announced Rocket League will go free-to-play later this summer.

The game will also release for PC on the Epic Games Store at the same time as it goes free-to-play. It will be identical to other versions of the game and feature cross-platform play, including between the Epic Games Store and Steam.

Anyone already own Rocket League on any platform will be able to continue playing the game with full support for future updates and features. The Steam version will no longer be available for download for new players, however, it will still receive updates.

Inventory already unlocked you will be able to keep once the game goes free-to-play. The game will also be adding cross-platform progression. You will be able to bring items, Rocket Pass progress, and your Competitive Rank to every platform the game is available on.

Let's hope their micro transaction monitisation isn't too bad. Even when paid for they had quite a lot in there I heard. Haven't played for a long time however.
