With the major barrier to trading now eliminated, it stands to reason that there’s nothing that necessitates accounts be kept separate.
The cross-platform parties will rely on a Psyonix ID system where players have their own unique identifier to connect with other players across different platforms. It’s a natural evolution for a game that’s looking to become more and more platform-agnostic.Īnd, to take it a step further, there’s a chance this means that account merging will make its way to Rocket League. If all the platforms support key trading now - ostensibly the number one thing players would want to trade - there’s a very real possibility that cross-platform trading is in Rocket League‘s future. Cross-platform parties are coming to Rocket League later this summer. However, the long-term view is far more interesting. With key trading, those Xbox prices should drop as players start seeking out actual money for their items. That means that people are more likely to just hold onto their rare stuff.
Xbox prices are inflated on second-hand reseller sites, mostly because there’s no easy way for players to get an in-game cash value for their items. In the short-term, this will pull the Xbox item economy down so that it’s on-par with PC and PS4. That has seemingly changed, as Psyonix wouldn’t be able to implement this feature if it conflicted with Xbox’s terms of use for the platform.
#ROCKET LEAGUE TRADE PS4#
While PS4 has supported key trading from the beginning, Xbox has lagged behind because of Microsoft’s policy against letting players swap digital items that are purchased with real money. (The pricing model is 1 key for $1.50, 5 keys for $5, 10 keys for $10, and 20 keys for $20.) Keys are used to open crates, which are Rocket League‘s cosmetic microtransaction system. One key is generally accepted to be worth $1 in Rocket League. As soon as Psyonix enables the feature in the game’s backend/database system, key trading on Xbox will be fully functional.
#ROCKET LEAGUE TRADE PATCH#
This news comes via the patch notes for Rocket League‘s latest minor update. Key trading will be implemented on Xbox “within the next several days,” according to Psyonix. Rocket League players on Xbox will soon be able to trade money - or, at least Rocket League‘s in-game equivalent to real-world money. A Fortnite-like model might be on the horizon
