This is a bit of a highlight and something I hope we see more of in future. You can now be matched up with people across Steam and all major consoles in Rocket League.
With special thanks to all of our friends and colleagues at PlayStation, we are thrilled to announce that starting RIGHT NOW, Rocket League has entered the PlayStation Cross-Play Beta program! Players on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam can now randomly matchmake with or against each other in all Online match types (i.e. Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes).
This makes Rocket League possibly the only game that works online across Steam (Linux, Mac, Windows), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. For us Linux users, it's especially different to actually be included.
In the announcement post, Psyonix noted that cross-platform parties will be coming to Rocket League in the first major update due this year. That's another point that's going to be impressive, to actually have a party of players across all these different systems.
It's such a fantastic game, one I've now managed to put 255 hours into and I honestly don't see myself stopping any time soon. The fact that it's supported officially on Linux too is awesome!
Rocket League is on sale right now on Humble Store, otherwise head to Steam.

Quoting: pete910If yes then steam is more than likely available in your distro's repos
I'm not using Steam. So the above is irrelevant. If you think Steam exclusivity is a normal thing, then don't expect those who don't use Steam to agree with you.

irrelevant to you, yes. To them, No
Do you see what I am getting at?

Nope, you so far only said they have no specific reason to be Steam exclusive. I'm not convinced they are irrational, like you are trying to say. I.e. if they are Steam exclusive, it's normal to expect they have some reason.

Quoting: pete910It's not Steam exclusive !
Did I miss something? What other Linux store is selling it?
Quoting: GuestHe is probably a PC only user and clearly wants DRM Free games. So there is really no point in arguing.
We are talking about Linux games, if you missed the context. And sure, I want DRM-free releases. But that's besides the last point we were discussing. As I asked, what other store is selling the Linux version?

Now your being pedantic.
I think I'm wasting my time as I don't seem to be able to get you to grasp what I am saying.

So, it is Steam exclusive. Indeed, please don't waste time with pointless statements like "it's not Steam exclusive", when we are talking about Linux gaming specifically.
Quoting: GuestOn pc you can only get it on Steam.
On Steam only. Ergo, Linux version is Steam exclusive.
Quoting: GuestYeah so? if you only want DRM Free then just dont bother with Rocket Leauge since they probably wont release it DRM Free anyway.
That was my guess above as well, i.e. them having some issue with DRM-free idea. But @pete910 was very insistent it's not the reason.
