While the update has provided bonuses for existing players and brought in a swath of new ones, it hasn’t been without some hiccups. Players are experiencing issues, like the “Checking Privileges” loading error, at an alarming rate. Despite these issues, players are hoping for a revitalized player base thanks to this new update — including those playing on Nintendo Switch.
Rocket League is free to download on Switch, but are there any other purchases necessary?
Rocket League is completely free on Nintendo Switch. With the game’s free-to-play update on Sept. 23, it became available to download for free in the eShop. Not only that, but the game doesn’t require a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play online either. Any Nintendo Switch owner with an internet connection can download Rocket League and play online.
