At the recent Paris Major, fans were treated to a teaser of a next-gen Rocket League upgrade powered by an also new announcement of Unreal Engine 6. Currently, Rocket League is on a rather old Unreal Engine 3.
Details are incredibly light on both the Rocket League upgrade and Unreal Engine 6, as they were teased for a whole 35 seconds in the below clip:

So what exactly am I concerned about?
Well, if you keep your eyes fixed to about 19 seconds in the above video, it seems like Rocket League may be getting bundled together with other games like Fortnite in some sort of launcher (pictured below). Seemingly part of this whole metaverse thing that Epic Games have been trying to build up where it notes "verse://rocketleague.com" in the picture.
If they get rid of the standalone version of Rocket League, this could make things pretty messy on Linux / SteamOS. With games like Fortnite being entirely blocked by Epic Games with Easy Anti-Cheat, and while Rocket League recently added Easy Anti-Cheat and kept it enabled for Linux that could change with a push like this.
We'll let you know when we find out more.
Fortnite is one of many games that intentionally block Linux.
