14 DAY TRIAL // On September 8, 2016, game studio Psyonix was proud to announce the availability of a Beta version of the popular Rocket League game for SteamOS/Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.
Rocket League is a futuristic, physics-based sports/action game that lets players play European football while driving booster-rigged vehicles. It is the successor to the popular and classic Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars game released in 2008 only for Sony's PlayStation 3 gaming console, also developed and published by the Psyonix game studio.
The game officially hit the Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 platforms in July 2015, and a few months later, in February 2016, it arrived for Microsoft's Xbox One gaming console as well. Due to popular demand, Rocket League is also officially available for the Linux and Apple's Mac OS X operating systems, but only in a Beta form at the moment of writing this article.
"As of September 8, 2016, the SteamOS and Mac versions of Rocket League were released to 'Beta.' SteamOS is the only 'officially' supported Linux client, though other Linux platforms may be compatible," reads the Steam announcement, from where you can buy the game. Of course, many of us are not using SteamOS, so if it's not working on your Linux box, please do report that to the devs.
To play Rocket League on your Linux gaming rig, or SteamOS-powered Steam Machine, you'll need to have a 2.0 GHz Dual-Core processor or higher (Quad-Core is recommended), at least 2 GB RAM (4 GB RAM is recommended), Nvidia 8800 or ATI 2900 graphics card (Nvidia 260 series or ATI 5850 or better is recommended), 5 GB free disk space, a broadband Internet connection, and a gamepad or controller.
Happy #Rumble Day! Rocket League and DLC are 25% off for @steam_games players! Enjoy: https://t.co/Ahdgvt50FV pic.twitter.com/4EAJiihqbC — Rocket League (@RocketLeague) September 9, 2016
