Rocket League is cutting support for Mac and Linux users

Let's all pour one out for Rocket League players trying to get a multiplayer game going on macOS and Linux.

Starting this March, Psyonix will no longer support online multiplayer on either platform. The developer will drop a new patch that will eventually shutter online features. So you'll be left with playing local matches or split-screen with friends over if you're interested still doing all that. All of these changes were lined out in a support document from Psyonix itself. 

According to Psyonix, the following will still be functional after the patch:

• Local Matches
• Split-Screen Play
• Garage/Inventory (existing items will not be removed from your inventory)
• Career Stats
• Replays
• Steam Workshop Maps (downloaded before the final patch)
• Custom Training Packs (downloaded before the final patch)

As for these features, you can unfortunately kiss them goodbye:

• Online Matchmaking
• Private Matches
• Tournaments
• Rocket Pass
• Item Shop / Esports Shop
• In-Game Events
• Friends List
• Clubs
• News Panel
• New Custom Training Packs
• New Steam Workshop Maps
• Leaderboards
• League Rankings

According to Psyonix, "it is no longer viable for us to maintain support for the macOS and Linux (SteamOS) platforms." So, essentially, they're going bye-bye. If you do play on either one of those systems to get your Rocket League fix in, you're going to have to switch over to something else soon.
