Rocket League Player-to-Player Trading is going away later this year. In a blog post on the game’s official website, developer Psyonix announced that Player-to-Player Trading is leaving Rocket League on December 5 at 4 pm PST/7 pm EST/8 am HKT.
According to the blog post, the team will make this change to align with Epic’s game cosmetics and item shop policies. These policies disallow any cosmetics or in-game items from being tradable, transferrable, or sellable. As a result of this change, Rocket League’s vehicles will become eligible to appear in other Epic games over time. Apparently, meeting the in-game item policies allows Rocket League to be a part of Epic’s cross-game ownership program.
If you’ve got questions, fear not–we’ve got you covered. Here is the FAQ from the official blog post:
- Q: What do I do with my duplicate or unwanted items?
- A: The Trade-In system for Core Items, Tournament Items, and Blueprints will allow players to continue trading in eligible duplicate or unwanted items to receive a random new item of higher rarity.
- Q: What if I lent someone an item?
- A: These actions are not supported by Psyonix and all trades are considered final. Our support team cannot help reverse trades.
- Q: What about third-party trading websites or servers?
- A: After December 5, there will be no way to trade items with any player or between accounts. Websites or servers advertising such services are fraudulent and have no connection to Psyonix or Epic Games.
- Q: Will this undo any trades I’ve made in the past?
- A: No, you will not lose any previously traded items when Player-to-Player Trading is removed on December 5.
If you actively trade in-game items in Rocket League, we’d love to hear what you think of this feature’s removal in the comments.
