If you are wondering what happens to the Rocket League game you own currently, amidst the changes, rest assured.

Rocket League will feature on the Epic Games Store on PC

This will be happening when the game goes free to play. This version, available, on the Epic Games Store on PC, will feature crossplay and will be the same as the versions of the game available on other platforms. Along with this, devs are changing the Main Menu UI to make navigation easier in-game. In addition to this, there are new tournaments and challenges to come.

The game has a neat cross-platform play system. You will be able to bring your items, Rocket Pass progress, and your Competitive Rank to every platform you play the game on. Note: you will have to have an Epic Games account for this. Also, your inventory will still be retained after the free to play goes live.

The core of the game remains the same and with its inclusion in the Epic Games Store and the introduction of cross-platform play, the game will continue to grow a larger community.
