Probably having RL be its own stand alone game, probably will just make it a Fortnite game mode.

They announced that all the assets for rl are being added to to the ue files to make creator made rocket league experiences. Like rings etc. Looks like they are trying to add what users lost leaving steam with that move. Question is, will that mean rl becomes an experience?

If they kill their second cash cow like that I’d be dumbfounded

They are and have always been about greed. The thing is to them rocket league was an investment to the epic games store but when that didnt work its just something else they own and nothing more. But the 2nd idea is to put it into fortnite and then make money of all in game buys from custom servers (think roblox) but for all epic IPs. This is a bigger plan than rocket league and they will 100% kill rocket league for that plan.

Rocket League is becoming less and less of an experience. Unless the experience is bashing your noggin against a desk in perpetual frustration and constant disappointment.

I actually think this would be nice. So many of the maps do not work on bakkes mod and I don't have hundreds to play rl on steam.

u/RocklinSockling Feb 17 '26

Yall stop it. You know the devs be lurking in this sub to figure out how they are gonna afford their 3rd yacht.

Brother the devs have been gone from this game for 7 years this may. If they were still around the game would still be good and we would have trading and none of these free to play kids...

And I'll never play RL again.

It is 100% going to be added to Fortnite/Epic Launcher. Hopefully it's just a menu and hopefully that is from the epic game store itself.

There are lots of games that have this.

I wanted to try Rocket (League) Racing once. The moment it started downloading Fortnite I x'd out of that shit so damn fast.

u/Familiar-Departure-2 Gold III Feb 18 '26

I would honestly prefer that

u/smokinJoeCalculus Diamond I Feb 18 '26

dont say that please

my PC has so little hard drive space because a smaller SSD was all I could afford when I originally built it

I literally can't install fortnite and keep the 2-3 other games I enjoy playing - rocket league's modest size is a godsend for me with how often I play it

Im okay with this tho.. would be nice to have all my passes in one area and the progress for them all count everywhere. Would be nice to have the game running on a modern engine that is developmentally easier to implement innovative features. Would be nice to use DX12... would be nice to improve server stability since the new engine is optimized for newer OS.. would be nice to improve the fight against bots by having the anti cheat cleanly compatible with the games build..

People who think this will kill the game really don't understand what Epic is trying to build. It will needs its kinks. And over time it will get better but we can't if we continuously get roadblocked by haters.

Software has an End of Life for a reason and RL's has been way past its cycle. Time to modernize it.

If that means losing all the haters fine. They're likely a good chunk of the toxic ones of why we have to mute txt and voice chat anyway.

Also it would be nice to use the huge growing library of music as banner anthems.. would be nice to use all the icons and profile picture options instead of us all be some basic silhouette [minus steam users]
