I have read this news this morning, Rocket League will leave Steam to join Epic Store in a free-to-play edition.
I think this is a nice choice, I mean the game is old enough and it is a waste to let it die due to a pay wall.
Releasing a game as free-to-play is often used as an extreme attempt to revive a game (Just look at games like Evolve...), but is doesn't seem the reason behind the Rocket League re-release.
There could be contracts with Epic Games, the game could have been released as free to play on Steam but they decided to change launcher... who knows...
I think a new wave of player will soon flood rocket league and will spent money for these little cars!
