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.
Passing this idea along, thanks!
Our Customer Care agents will never ask for your login information.
To reiterate what has already been said, this is a scam. They're trying to get control of your account so they can steal items from you. If you run into scams like this again, please feel free to report it through our support page.
/u/Psyonix_Corey I have square deadzone enabled in Steam settings, do you think Steam controller settings will still be supported when this update is live?
If you're playing on Steam, it should keep working.
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.
There are a few reasons, but one of the major ones is that we want to be able to gracefully handle delinking accounts, and not combining the levels allows us to do that.
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
We're trying to get it done asap after the free to play update, but no time/date right now.
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?
So we can be level 300 on steam and use level 700 border and title?
Yup!
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?
If you have the game on Xbox already, you won't gain any particular benefit from buying it on Steam before it goes free on the Epic Games Store. The only reason to do so would be if you want to launch the game from Steam instead of EGS.
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?
We generally use your platform name in online play (scoreboard, etc.) where other players see it.
Your Display Name is used for social features, like in the Friends List, any Epic Friends you add, you'll see both their Display Name and their platform name (when online)
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?
They are considered the same as full accounts for the purposes of linking. However, you can contact Epic Customer Support and they can usually solve these types of conflicts.

Epic Accounts have their own rules for Display Names changes. IIRC, they let you change it every two weeks?
If I create a new account after Rocket League goes F2P - can you give me an example of how I could get Credits somehow other than purchasing, if trading is not possible?
I'm a designer, I'm trying to lay out rules that don't get contradicted later by something that doesn't exist yet.
E.g. if we for some reason gave everyone 500 Credits because matchmaking went down for a week. Those wouldn't count.
Does this proxy account get the Chopper EG Wheels, or is a fully setup account required for that?
You get the wheels
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.
Any price deterrent at all screens out a large category of bots and fraudulent behavior.
You're correct that many thresholds still make scamming profitable. We have to attack the problem from multiple angles, and preferably without preventing trading unless you've spent $100+.
Truly addressing your use case requires all of them working in tandem:
That is an odd way of phrasing it, since you literally cannot receive "traded credits" if you cannot trade.
Was a poor example on my part. Just saying - if you get Credits somehow other than purchasing, they don't count if spent. It's the credit purchase that is tracked.
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?
Yes, you will have access to your Xbox items while playing on Steam.
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.
This is a good comparison. Caveat for both - you can login on PC if you upgrade that console login to a "full account" with an email address on Epic's website
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.
You just need to do things in correct order.
The proxy account you create can be "promoted" to a full Epic Account at any time by attaching an email address on epicgames.com. This is similar to how Fortnite lets players "skip" full account linking but still have an Epic identity for social interaction/friends, but still use that platform to log in/link later.
So in your case, you'd just need to upgrade your Epic/Steam account to a full account with an email, then link your Switch to that account.
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.
This is all lining up with the next competitive season, so in this scenario you would be going through placement matches once account linking is live. If you're already at GC on one platform, and D2 on another, I imagine you'll be out of Diamond pretty quickly in the new season.
