Is Rocket League on Steam?

Is Rocket League on Steam? Now Rocket League is free-to-play, just where you play it has changed since its launch back in 2015. Rocket League was removed from the Steam store in 2020, but there are still various ways to play it through Steam depending on when you purchased or downloaded the game.


Rocket League is now a Epic Games exclusive and you can only download it for free through the Epic Games Store by either visiting the store directly or via the Rocket League website, which directs you to the Epic Games Store. Here's how and whether you can still play it on Steam.

Lightning McQueen is coming to Rocket League, marking the game's first alive car


In what might be Rocket League's most concerning crossover yet, the one and only Lightning McQueen from Pixar's Cars is coming to the game.


Rocket League, for the uninitiated, is a game where you drive around as a car playing football. It's ridiculous, wacky, and when you get the hang of it pretty dang fun too! But up until now, there haven't been any crossovers where the car itself is alive. Sure, there was a Knight Rider crossover featuring KITT, a sentient car, but it's just a robot. Yet yesterday, developer Psyonix announced the Lightning McQueen bundle, which is adding in the iconic car portrayed by Owen Wilson in the original film (though no Wilson to be found in this particular bit of DLC).


The bundle includes the Lightning McQueen car, of course, which is the first car in the game to "feature dynamic expressions! Lightning will look around the pitch while you cruise the Arena, then narrow his eyes in focus as you approach supersonic speeds." This raises several concerns. Has Lightning McQueen been transported from another universe to take part in these games? Is he a particularly good footballer? And more pressingly, what does this say about the rest of the cars in Rocket League?

Lightning McQueen and Other Cosmetics Hit the Soccar Pitch in Rocket League

Listen, there’s only one Lightning McQueen. But thanks to the newest in Soccar simulation technology, you can have your very own precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics in Rocket League! Equip the Disney and Pixar’s Cars-inspired Lightning McQueen Car*, and you’ll be hoisting the Piston Cup in no time. The Lightning McQueen Mega Bundle also includes three race-ready Decals, the Ka-chow Goal Explosion, and more!

Speed to the kickoff—the Lightning McQueen Mega Bundle will be available starting November 7.

Ahhhh, breathe in that new preset smell—this is the Lightning McQueen Car you’ve always wanted.

The Lightning McQueen Car is the very first in Rocket League to feature dynamic expressions! Lightning will look around the pitch while you cruise the Arena, then narrow his eyes in focus as you approach supersonic speeds.

With the Lightning McQueen Mega Bundle, you’ll be able to play as three different versions of the Route 66 icon. First up is the classic. With number 95 on the side and a flashy lightning bolt, you’ll be taking the winner’s podium with plenty of style to spare.


Life is a journey, so enjoy the trip. Once you’re off the race track, slip on the Cruisin’ Decal and savor a bit of well-earned rest and relaxation. Doc’s orders!


Being friends with The King has its benefits, and now that Strip Weathers has retired you can don racing’s most famous blue hue with the Dinoco Decal. Wish you could perfectly match your party’s colors in the Arena? You can! Since there’s both a red and blue Decal, you’ll be able to assign each to a team color in your Garage.


The whole world should know when you’re winning. Celebrate every goal with the Ka-chow Goal Explosion. Throw in the “Life Is A Highway” Player Anthem by Rascal Flatts, and they’ll have no choice but to get drivin’.

Of course, no champion race car is complete without a set of wheels to match. The red Lightyear Racing Wheels and blue Lightyear Dinoco Wheels are both tuned and ready for the pitch! Prefer an old-school look? The Lightyear Whitewall Wheels bring back memories of classic hot rods and roadsters.

The Lightning McQueen Car, Ka-chow Goal Explosion, and “Life Is A Highway” Player Anthem will also be available for individual purchase.
