Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming. It seems Rocket League may actually release sometime soon after a developer posted about it on their Steam forum.

From the post:
QuoteHey all, just wanted to let you know that we're getting close to a release window, but still need to polish more, address remaining bugs, and ensure that cross-play properly works :)


They said a while back it was pushed back to a Q2 release, so they may actually hit that.

The Linux build is in the "QA branch", so it could arrive with the patch due at the end of this month.

I am pleased they are finally saying something a little more positive, hopefully there aren't too many things they need to finish up.

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster with being pushed back multiple times, originally due out in December 2015 it will be fantastic to finally be able to actually write up a release post on it, and play the damn thing.

It does further solidify my stance on buying games: Don't buy them until the Linux version is confirmed to be out.

Will you still be picking up a copy? I know I will be, delay or not it's still a very popular game and looks incredibly fun.

Maybe we will get to play it for GOL's birthday on the 5th of July at this rate!

Thanks for pointing it out fabry92. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I remember when Darksiders was "98% done" and just needed some polish. By now it should be able to show you your reflection and tell you who's the fairest of them all. Hopefully, this game won't be like that.

Putting it on my wishlist.

Hot damn! Can't wait for this!!

I got a copy with my Steam controller and to be honest I haven't lost my enthusiasm for trying it out, despite the delays. Of course, I haven't installed it yet, so it should still be counted as a Linux 'sale' when I finally do. I hope.

I guess I might as well play this on Windows and see if it's worth playing or buying later.

What a shame it's taken so long, like a earlier posted said well this is a bit of "glass half empty" and "glass half full" situation.

While pleased to have something new to potentially play the major delay killed my boner for this game.

I guess I'll just have to play it or wait and see if my boner can get back to 100% over rocket league.

They treat me as a 3rd class customer so I have no choice but to treat Psyonix as a 3rd class publisher: 90% discount or no-buy.

My friends have already moved on to TW: Warhammer which will probably be a repeat of releasing to Linux just as they lose interest in the title and move on to something else.

Quoting: kingofrodeoAccording to SteamDB, the game has approximately 3.4 million owners, of which 1/3 were active in the last 2 weeks.
Also, 24k are playing right now, and the average daily peak is 40k.
So yeah, bring it on.

Keep in mind that there's also cross play with PS4 players c: Meanwhile the Xbone kids can only play with each other XD

It looks like it might be fun. I've just ordered a Steam controller while they're on sale, and will buy a copy of Rocket League *if* they ever release it. Won't believe it until I see it :-).

I feel like I need to buy a few more Linux games just to show my support, but I'm not the hardcore gamer I was 5+ years ago :(.
