Rocket League not due on SteamOS & Linux for another 6 to 8 weeks

Well, I'm glad I didn't buy it on a promise. Rocket League developers have confirmed it's going to be another 6 to 8 weeks before the SteamOS & Linux version is ready.

So we've gone from "later this year" in 2015, then to before the end of December, then before the Xbox One version in February and now it's another six to eight weeks at the end of January.

@rachelleambrum RL is still coming to Mac/Linux. Our vendor via Valve hit some unexpected snags, but both look to be on track for Q1.

@BeastBoy561 Right after the SteamOS version, which we expect to be out in the next six to eight weeks (or so).

What a shame, but delays happen. It's another reminder not to buy a game before the Linux/SteamOS version actually exists to play. You have only yourself to blame if you ignore my constant warnings on doing so. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Patience my friends.

I know the urge to play with balls is hard to resist, but in this case, time is on our side.

Was planning on playing this to tide me over until XCOM 2, now it seems like it'll be the other way around.

Linux/SteamOS Projects seem to be getting so many delays these days that it's never a surprise anymore. I'm happy they're doing it at all though, RL is so much fun!

so XBOX1 wins the race it seems..

Hopefully this means it will be a better port.

What exactly does "our vendor via Valve" mean? To me it sounds like a financial issue rather than a technical one.

I got it free with my Steam Controller, and I'm not convinced that it's deserving of all the hype surrounding it, so I'm not too upset. Still, delays suck.

Sounds like Valve contracted the port out for them (Valve gave the port to someone else to do, and they are having trouble).

I was expecting it not later than February actually, a bit of a drag but well, more time to play other games.
