So you want to Rocket League on Steam after the Epic Games kickoff? Hold onto your octane for this bumpy ride!
Ah, Rocket League. The game that turned us all into soccer-obsessed demolition derby enthusiasts. But hold on a sec, you downloaded it on Epic Games and now you're feeling the Steam nostalgia? Don't worry, fellow gearhead, there's still a chance to boost your way onto that Steam platform.
Just a heads up, though: You can't exactly snag a new copy of Rocket League on Steam anymore. Epic Games took it exclusive in a move that left many a Steam user with a case of the sad trombone. But fear not! If you already had Rocket League on Steam before the great switch, you're golden. Here's how to get back in the game (pun absolutely intended).
Cranking Up Your Steam Rocket League: A (Hopefully) Simple Guide
Fire Up That Steam Engine: First things first, you'll need the Steam client downloaded and running. If you haven't used it in a while, it might need an update – that's Steam giving your ride a fresh coat of virtual wax.
The Library Is Your Launchpad: Head over to your Steam library. It's like your personal garage, but filled with digital rockets instead of rusty old jalopies.
Search and Destroy... Your Boredom!: Look for Rocket League in your library. If you can't find it readily, try using the search bar. Don't worry, it's not hiding behind a sneaky boost like those sneaky opponents online.
Hit That Download Button (If Needed): If Steam detects your previous ownership, you might just be able to hit "Install" and get ready to rumble. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Troubleshooting Time (Hopefully Not): In some cases, Steam might need to verify the game files. This is basically like checking your tire pressure before a big race. Just follow the prompts and Steam will sort it out.
Bonus Tip: Link Up Your Epic Games Account (Optional, But Handy)
While not essential, linking your Epic Games account to your Steam account can come in handy. This way, you can keep your progress and sweet in-game items across both platforms. It's like having a pit crew that works on both your Steam and Epic Games rides!
How to link your accounts? That's a story for another time, but a quick Google search should steer you in the right direction.
