Rocket League Free to Play Release Date Announced for September 23

Rocket League Update 1.91 January 26

In case you didn’t catch it, Psyonix announced that Rocket League was going free-to-play back in July. While we didn’t know exactly when that will happen at the time other than in “summer,” the studio revealed the Rocket League free to play release date and it’s September 23!

If you want to be more specific, it’ll be September 23 at 8 a.m. PDT/11 a.m. EDT/3 p.m. UTC/11 p.m. HKT! There’s also going to be an in-game event to commemorate this called the Llama-Rama happening soon after launch with more details to be shared next week. There’s a new cinematic trailer out for this embedded below.

There will be a Rocket League patch making its way out tomorrow to prepare the game’s transition to F2P. Psyonix has posted a quick rundown of whats included in tomorrow’s patch.

WHAT’S IN THIS ROCKET LEAGUE UPDATE?

In addition to joining the Epic Games Store, Rocket League will also be joining Epic’s Support-A-Creator program.

There are many of your favorite Rocket League creators already part of the system and more will be added in the near future.
