Rocket League is now officially available for SteamOS, due to the time of the release I will be unable to give any actual impressions as I am likely asleep while this gets published.
I will be able to get impressions up rather early tomorrow morning (UTC time), as it will be my first priority. It will likely be the main game on our Friday livestream too.
It's been a bit of a wild ride, but it's here ‒ finally.
They are currently only supporting SteamOS during the beta as originally mentioned in their announcements. Hopefully there won't be too many issues for those of us on desktop Linux.
Find Rocket League on Steam.
UPDATE: BTRE's quick test
I live in a more convenient time zone than Liam and so I've already given the game a quick look. It works on my Arch box, so those worried about the beta being SteamOS-only can now breathe a sigh of relief. Those Mesa fans out there might also be pleased to know it works on my aging Radeon 7870 with the latest git build (haven't tried with the stable builds of Mesa). I played a couple of quick matches vs the AI and performance is good, sticking almost always near 60 fps during gameplay with the default of high quality settings (save anti-aliasing) . There is some stutter as the game loads assets for the first time when a match starts or when you first open the main menu but it goes away for me rather quickly. Hopefully it's something the devs will improve on as I imagine that it can be real annoying in online matches.
I'm sure Liam will have a fuller port report sometime soon.
About the game

A futuristic Sports-Action game, Rocket League®, equips players with booster-rigged vehicles that can be crashed into balls for incredible goals or epic saves across multiple, highly-detailed arenas. Using an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions, Rocket League® relies on mass and momentum to give players a complete sense of intuitive control in this unbelievable, high-octane re-imagining of association football.

The multiplayer mode does not work for me. I am using Fedora 23. Anyone else with this problem?I'm on fedora 24 and have the same problem, not connected to rocket league servers
i have no idea how to fix this, i turned of the fire wall but to no avail
you could solve the problem? I'm searching here and if you can, I'll be posting here. Please, if it works for you, share with us
Try this as root "setenforce 0"
Then launch. See if it works.

If it is a firewall issue, disabling firewalld may not be enough. You can flush your rules.
use (as root or with sudo) iptables -L
if you have no rules it will have three tables all with a default policy of accept.
to flush existing rules
iptables -F
I don't know if it is a firewall issue or not. Would be good to know as I am also on Fedora.

Definately not a firewall issue. I tried with flushed iptables rules. There is also an audio bug. I have to do killall pulseaudio before starting the game otherwise I get no audio and the game freezes shortly after launching until I kill -9 it.
Hopefully they get the first round of patches out pretty quick.

Looks like somebody's found a workaround (haven't had a chance to try it yet myself).
The problem is that on Fedora et al. /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt is called /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt. The work around is simply creating a symlink:
sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Tested works!!!
Still have the pulse audio bug though. Have to issue killall pulseaudio before launching game.

fantastic, the problem was solved! I created a video and posted on YouTube (In Portuguese Brazil) but I mentioned the solution and talked to you and the steam user who posted there in the forum. Thank you very much

Nice logo on your channel/site. I've added it to my list of sightings :D
Still have the pulse audio bug though. Have to issue killall pulseaudio before launching game.I'm running Pulse and don't have this problem. Is there anything in your log that might indicate what's up? The log should be here:
