I have a Grand Champion title on my new one, but I have my bronze s1 crown on the old one.

So Steam and EGS will be two separate platforms? How will this affect cross-platform matchmaking? Surely, they would both count as PC and still be matched up together?

u/Psyonix_Devin I've got most of my items and progress on my switch account and want to use that as primary, but will there be a way to use the est 2016 title and other items I have on my older steam account if my switch account is primary? Any sort of account merging?

If I understand this, it's a massive relief, as someone who moved after playing console for multiple years and has now played on Steam for more than a year.

So we can link Steam + Playstation/Xbox to an epic account, choose steam as primary platform and keep playing on steam. Getting access to season rewards, rocket pass items and event stuff from my old PS4 account on steam.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this is a slam dunk, bring it on. Can't wait to get my S1 crown back.

What about other items like black markets on an old account? Can these be used on the primary (steam) if they're currently on xbox?

Originally posted by Xslice55555

Is there any insight if I NEED an Epic account to play from steam? As much as I want my stuff from xbox, I don't really care about it, I just wanna be able to keep playing from steam without having to link it to an Epic account first.

Originally posted by coledeb

I assume if I linked a Steam, then unlinked it, then linked the 2nd, it wouldn't keep the inventory of the first, correct? It would only keep the inventory of the currently linked Steam?

Originally posted by 1definitelynotbatman

all earned free items, well does this mean all non crate items can be traded cross platform, including the tw octane?

Originally posted by Schaule

So if both my playstation and pc steam account have seperate inventories right now, I will be able to merge them if they are both linked to the epic games account? (except credits etc)

Also it says purchased items wont be able to be traded across platforms. If i trade credits for tw zomba on ps4 will i be able to trade those later on pc?

u/Psyonix_Corey This sounds great!

I'm in some kind of special situation and would appreciate, if you could confirm my thoughts:

I started on PC short after release (got S1 silver crown) and switched to PS4 after some time, where I have spent more than 4 years. Best rank was Diamond 1 on PS4, but I reached Level 733 there! A few month ago I went back to PC. The new Hardware (I guess) pushed me to Champ 2, which means I will get my very first Champion rewards on PC. The bad part is, that I'm only Level ~250 on PC. If I link my PSN and Steam to Epic and set my PSN as my primary account, will I get back to Level 733, can use my S1-Silver-Topper, can enjoy the "est. 2015"-Title and additionally use my first Champ-Rewards, even though I've never been Champ on my PS4 before? Edit: To be clear: I will continue playing on PC.

Thanks in advance!

1) I can't tell if esports shop items are included under item shop purchases or not so could we get a confirmation that those items do transfer over?

2) So if my credits/tokens transfer over, can I buy items on the platform with the tokens and then use said items on a different linked platform?

Originally posted by Djdistress

What about your actual player rank. If i was level 700 on Xbox and level 300 on Steam will this combine to make my new level 1000?

Usable, but not cross-platform-tradeable?

Originally posted by SumoSizeIt

You will still have access to use the purchased DLC Packs on the platform where they were purchased. We are working to make Premium DLC accessible across platforms, but this will not be available when free to play launches.

Just to confirm because the caffeine hasn't kicked in:

I have premium DLC on PC (e.g. Batman, Back to the Future), and Xbox (Jurassic Park). At release, I won't be able to access Batman on Xbox and Jurassic on PC, but eventually that will be available, right?

Will existing Steam PC users, after creating their Epic Games account, be able to trade with new free-to-play users who are on Epic Games PC?

So similar to satisfactory on Steam?

If you don't want to make an account, it just uses your public steam id to log you on.

Originally posted by Aluminizing

As an additional anti-fraud measure, we will also require both players involved in any trade to have purchased at least 500 Credits (players who played Rocket League before the launch of free to play are exempt from this requirement).

Is this limited to purchasing at least 500 credits worth of item(s) in-game (item shop / blueprints) or just purchasing at least 500 credits from your platforms store?

Do Alpha rewards count as platform exclusive items? Or can I use them on my PS4?

Originally posted by dannyapplesauce

For real. For anyone that is scamming items, $5 seems like a REALLY low bar to hop over to continue scamming.

How does this affect the workshop maps on Steam? If Steam is fully supported does that mean that all of the workshop maps are too? What about the creation of new ones in the workshop?

Originally posted by HarvInThePaint

Thanks for the example Corey! Very helpful . Would the same principle work for rocket pass?

2000 credits on switch. Buy rocket pass on switch. Get progress from playing on my PC ‘main’ account. (All linked to epic account)

Originally posted by Baked_Gingerbreadman

Does that mean a one way platform transfer? Or does that mean that its full cross platform trading with the caveat of needing to own said platform?

Originally posted by CunnedStunt

Could this cause an issue with smurfing? For example, I'm GC on PC but my PS4 account is somewhere around D2. So I could make PS4 my primary, have my rank at D2 and rep my Season 14 GC title with no punishment? I would personally never do that, but I could see it being an issue for the first little but after this update.

Originally posted by Fish_Goes_Moo

Thanks, I assume the proxy account won't effect linking if you want to do it later with a full account?

I don't play anywhere but pc, so I make the proxy account. If I then get it on say switch and want to fully link, I need an epic account. Is the proxy account going to cause a problem. Will Epic see it as X steam account has already been linked to an Epic account (the proxy one RL made) , and then won't let it link to a full epic account that I've now created?

Thanks.

It's probably more like when you play Fortnite on console. You get an Epic username that people on PC can use to add you, but you can't login on PC with it.

If I set my steam as primary and Xbox on secondary will I be able to have access to the Xbox items while playing through steam, or would I have to be playing through Epic Games?

Originally posted by theshinycaptain

That is an odd way of phrasing it, since you literally cannot receive "traded credits" if you cannot trade.

Originally posted by dannyapplesauce

Thanks. It still seems low to me, but who am I to judge what is fairly common.

Edit: Wasn't the limit for Steam more for combating bots, and not necessarily combating scamming, like play-to-player trading scams? To pay $5 to scam someone out of a potentially $100 TW octane seems like a no brainer if I'm a scammer. I mean i guess this might stop those random bots from sending people links to fake steam login sites "TO CLAIM YOUR FREE REWARDS" or whatever is the current bull they are pulling. So overall it's mostly a good thing.

Also keep in mind part of the Epic Games Account ruleset for linking is that a platform account cannot be linked to different Epic Games Accounts. So once you link your Steam account to one, you can't take it to a different one later. This is part of fraud prevention and other abuse.

What about the epic games store "lite" accounts you're talking about with no email, etc. Is that exempt? Would one have an issue unlinking from there and linking to a full account later?

Originally posted by OutaTime76

Will the Epic account "Display Name" become your in-game name? For example if I'm OutaTime76 on Xbox, OutaTime on Steam, I choose Steam as my primary account, but neither name was available through Epic, so I'm GenericName504.

What shows when I play Rocket League on Steam?

Originally posted by JiroDreamsOfCoochie

I've been an xbox player forever, but this account syncing has finally made me want to switch to Rocket League on PC. One of the major things in doing that is the workshop maps. Is there a recommended path for someone going from console to pc so that you get all available options? Like should we buy the steam version first? Or get it from epic?

Originally posted by rhysshelleyjones

u/dirkened surely we will still have access to all the borders and titles we gained on Xbox yeah? So we can be level 300 on steam and use level 700 border and title?

Originally posted by WitchiePrincess

Any idea how much longer until i can use my xbox batmobile on pc??? I mained it on xbox and was devistated when i learned it wasnt avaliable on pc after i switched. Although im sure its a complicated issue, im just curious

Originally posted by rhysshelleyjones

Nice. u/dirkened How come we can't combine our levels together? The title "Cross-Platform Progression" seems a bit misleading now. Pretty bummed that I can't link my level 1400 PS4 account and my level 80 Steam account to my Epic account and continue playing as level 1480 on Steam.

Originally posted by xboxonelosty

I'm sure there is not a huge demand, but any chance the Hogsticker could come to PC? I understand why Nintendo wouldn't want Mario on other platforms, but Microsoft doesn't really have exclusives not on PC anymore. I feel like it could maybe be worked out, but that is obviously way out of my area of expertise.

Originally posted by HighOfTheTiger

u/dirkened hey I hate to bother you but I was hoping I could get an answer to the above question regarding cert rankings carrying over. I was on Xbox for almost 4 years and PC for the last year so this will have a lot to do with how I go about getting my cert setups onto the same platform. Thank you in advance for any info on this!

This comment, the purpose of which is to assure r-funnyman that he will get Est. 2016, has given people the false impression that you are saying he will ONLY get Est. 2016.

Please confirm that what you meant was:

His Steam account will get Est. 2016, and his Switch account will get Est. 2018 (or whatever), and both will be available in his Shared Inventory?

To me, it is clear that this is what you meant, but some people are reading what you said and telling other people they ONLY get one.

Originally posted by Baked_Gingerbreadman

Hey Corey! Appreciate the response.
Have a couple of follow up questions if you don't mind.

A) My brother and I share the same console, he paid for the game and since it is his primary I have never needed to. Will I still get legacy items since my account was created before, or will I become 'F2P' and need to buy 500 credits to trade again?

B) Will Bakkesmod still work if I buy the game after the epic launcher transition on a PC once I build it? Or will the epic launcher no longer support bakkes/alpha mod?

Thanks!

Originally posted by theshinycaptain

I've been answering other people's questions to save you some time, in the hopes that you will be able to find the time to answer my questions.

It is my understanding that when this update happens, I will be forced to either link my Steam account to an existing Epic Games Account, or have an automatic Epic Games Proxy Account linked to my Steam account

My questions are concerning this sentence:

You will be able to unlink your platform [...] you will not be able to link that platform to a different Epic Games Account.

First question:

Can I then simply unlink my Steam account from my Epic Games Account and use Rocket League on Steam without being linked?

Second question:

https://i.imgur.com/Opw4PSQ.png

What happens if I just delete my Epic Games Account while my Steam account is linked?

If I delete my Epic Games Account, will I then never be able to link my Steam account to an Epic Games Account again?

The first thing I will be doing on launch day, after creating an Epic Games Account to link to, is immediately deleting it.

Originally posted by Phippe

Basically the same question as u/Wubdor: I currently have an Epic account. Now, if I were to create a proxy account at first instead of using my full Epic account, would it still be possible to upgrade/link this proxy to my Epic account at a later point or would the proxy “generate” a new one?

/u/Psyonix_Devin /u/Psyonix_Corey Any chance of a clarification?

Originally posted by pikunderscored

Awesome, thanks. Just wanted to make sure that the Primary Account wasn't the only one giving progression after linking them all together.

/u/storfedspasser there's your answer.

Originally posted by ytzi13

I have 2 concerns that maybe you can address:

1. You can choose your source of progression, so that means that if I haven’t linked up yet, I could create a brand new account on PS4, link it to my PC account, and essentially reset all of my ranks? If that’s the case, I have to imagine that will be pretty appealing to a lot of players who feel stuck and want to “start over”, in a sense. I understand that accounts will be free after this update, but it also grants players the ability to reset established smurfs as well, meaning we’ll see a lot of low ranks with titles.

2. No doubt, this is going to create a black market for people selling titles. For example, someone on PS4 ranked gold thinks it would be cool to have a title. They can essentially purchase a title account to link to and keep all of their own ranks and progression on their own account (or choose to switch their progress up to the GC level). Sure - it’s a 1 time purchase for someone on their account, but this also opens up the possibility for players to purchase accounts and get instantly boosted to a rank of their choice, does it not? So, I’m wondering what kind of restrictions are in place to prevent this type of thing from happening, especially when boosting is already a heightened concern in the new F2P environment? And I assume that if a PS4 account and a Steam account are linked, both accounts can’t be actively playing at the same time, correct?
