September 15 Psyonix has confirmed the September 23 release date, as well as two new item packs and the new Llama-Rama in-game event.
Players across the world have been eagerly anticipating the release of Rocket League's free-to-play update - and they've finally got a date! One eagle-eyed Redditor spotted a Nintendo advert announcing that the update is coming September 23.
As well as going live on the Epic Games Store, anyone who has played the racing/football crossover before the free-to-play update will receive a host of freebies. The most exciting bonus is being rewarded with "legacy status", giving them access to all previous DLC. However, more than 200 common items will also be upgraded to "legacy" quality and they'll also get their hands on a golden cosmos boost, a huntress player banner, and Dieci-Oro wheels.
Steam players need not worry, as they'll still be able to play the game through Valve's storefront, however, new players will only be able to download the game via the Epic Games Store. The update will also provide cross-progression for your Rocket Pass, inventories, and Rocket League ranks if your account is linked to an Epic Games account.
