Some Hassle For Older Players
Players who have purchased the game earlier will now have to link their Epic Games Store account to their Rocket League ones to continue playing the game. People who do so will be rewarded with a Chopper EG Wheels car in-game.
Two more new item packs namely the Jager and Endo Starter Pack will also be available as add-ons once the game goes free.
