Is Rocket League free on Switch?
Yes, Rocket League is free to play on Nintendo Switch.
When Rocket League initially launched on Nintendo Switch back in Nov. 2017 it cost the standard price of $19.99. Psyonix's pricing for the game remained consistent across all platforms. Then, on Sept. 23, 2020, Psyonix made Rocket League free to play, removing its price tag everywhere.
Players will need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership in order to play Rocket League online. Players will still be able to perform functions such as Trainings or Season Mode without a membership. Though, in order to play Rocket League online modes such as Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes (Rumble, Hockey, Hoops) players will need to purchase a Switch Online membership.
Heads up, #RLonSwitch players: #NintendoSwitchOnline is coming on September 18! You will need to subscribe to Nintendo's new service to continue playing Rocket League online. See below for more details. ⚽️?️?? https://t.co/2ukdFpRdke
