Oh, Bummer! Rocket League is Ending Support For Linux
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
If you’ve enjoyed playing Rocket League on Linux, you will be disappointed to know that [Pysonix][1], the developer team behind Rocket League [announced][2] that they will be dropping support for Linux and Mac in March, 2020.
|
||
|
||
If it was just another casual game on [Steam][3], I wouldn’t mind- but Rocket League is a quite popular online multiplayer game across every platform.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
In fact, Rocket League was one of my [favorite games to play on Linux][5] (in addition to CS: GO). Even though I haven’t played it for a while – it is a bummer that I won’t be able to play it either.
|
||
|
||
So, this is definitely sad for Linux gamers who were looking forward to having fun in a popular online multiplayer game that required a decent hardware configuration to work flawlessly.
|
||
|
||
### Why are they ending support?
|
||
|
||
![][6]
|
||
|
||
In their [announcement][2], they mentioned:
|
||
|
||
> As we continue to upgrade _**Rocket League**_ with new technologies, it is no longer viable for us to maintain support for the macOS and Linux (SteamOS) platforms. As a result, the final patch for the macOS and Linux versions of the game will be in March. This update will disable online functionality (such as in-game purchases) for players on macOS and Linux, but offline features including Local Matches, and splitscreen play will still be accessible.
|
||
|
||
Well, this certainly does not explain why they’re dropping support for Linux/Mac. But, it looks like the game will get its final patches in March.
|
||
|
||
**After that, you will not be able to play multiplayer sessions – but will be restricted to the local multiplayer sessions (or split-screen)**.
|
||
|
||
Maybe you can try using [Wine][7] or [Steam Play][8] to play it on Linux? Doesn’t sound good though.
|
||
|
||
Some furious users/gamers on [Reddit][9] mentioned that this is a result of Epic Games acquiring Rocket League developer **Psyonix**. I wouldn’t comment on that one – feel free to share your thoughts in the comments though.
|
||
|
||
### How to get a refund for your Rocket League purchase
|
||
|
||
![][10]
|
||
|
||
To get a refund for your purchase of the Rocket League, you need to open a ticket on the [Psyonix Support][11] page.
|
||
|
||
If you’ve purchased it recently in the ongoing Steam sale – you might just get an instant refund from Steam if you initiate a refund.
|
||
|
||
If you have no plans to play it on a Windows machine (or trying Proton/Wine) on Linux – you should apply for a refund.
|
||
|
||
**Wrapping Up**
|
||
|
||
While this may not be a big-shot game for the platform but dropping support for Linux is not helping to improve the gaming scene on Linux.
|
||
|
||
If a game that worked quite well on Linux drops support for it – how can we expect newer games to consider adding support for Linux?
