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.

If you purchased Rocket League for Mac or Linux on Steam you can download the Windows version. This version will run with full functionality on a PC (personal computer) with Windows 7 or newer.

After the final patch, the following offline features should function as expected:

Local Matches
Split-Screen Play
Garage/Inventory (Your existing items will not be removed from your inventory)
Career Stats
Replays
Steam Workshop Maps (Must be downloaded before final patch)
Custom Training Packs (Must be downloaded before final patch)

After the final patch, the following online features will no longer function:

Online Matchmaking
Private Matches
Tournaments
Rocket Pass
Item Shop / Esports Shop
In-Game Events

Friends List
Clubs
News Panel
New Custom Training Packs
New Steam Workshop Maps
Leaderboards
League Rankings
