Earlier today, Psyonix and Epic Games announced that Rocket League will become a free-to-play game. The publisher also plans to reward players that have been there since the start. Surprisingly, the news appears to be going over well with the game’s current audience and newcomers alike. It seems that the majority of players are happy that the game will see an increase in potential competitors, and that will go a long way towards ensuring the game continues to thrive online. It will be interesting to see if that opinion remains in the coming months, but for now, Rocket League fans seem excited about the change.

People are going to be more willing to give Rocket League a try.
Rocket League going free to play is a big deal honestly.
I hope this motivates some people to give it a shot considering it will no longer be a money investment lost if you don't end up liking it.โ โโโโโ๐ โโโโโ (@RedactedAsHeck) July 22, 2020

Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Rocket League going free to play kinda scares me but at the same time everyone should have access to it because it's a banger

It should do a lot for the game’s longevity.
If you actually think that Rocket League going Free To Play is bad, then you obviously don't care about the game, its community and its Esports scene.

Some are a bit less optimistic, however.
Going free to play is going to do nothing for Rocket League.
