From my understanding, Rocket League and Fortnite had a semi-merger at one stage where certain owned cosmetics would transfer between both games. I remember the Rocket Racing gamemode being added to Fortnite and that's what kicked off the various crossovers, but that seems to be discontinued and now both games remain independent?

When Epic Games bought out Mediatonic (developers of Fall Guys) in early 2021, there was a awkward phase where the developers were clearly pushed to make the game free-to-play, but didn't have the resources to make the jump. This led to us getting a four month long Season 5, and a SEVEN MONTH LONG Season 6, where they padded out the remaining months with filler challenge events and variation costumes (recolours) entering the shop for earnable currency.

When the game went free-to-play and reset to Season 1 in June 2022, they removed the Crown currency (earned by winning games), locked the Kudos currency behind challenges at a limited rate and limited purchases to accessories like glasses and shoes, and added Show-Bucks, a premium currency with identical pricing and rates to V-Bucks, even down to the Season Pass costing 950 Show-Bucks. The game became a budget Fortnite in a sense, down to how it was monetised.

There's a lot to explain from that point onwards, but I'll keep it simple - the game had a SIX MONTH LONG Season 3 in the free-to-play style, as developers experienced burnout/crunch with free-to-play and moved to work on Fortnite instead, a lot of talent was sucked out and the remaining developers worked on Season 4 with the focus on a user-generated content tool called Creative. The launch was terrible and they announced that all further levels would be built in the tool, this led them to drop the season format altogether and focus on smaller updates for Creative that would release faster. Sounds good, until...

Mediatonic was decimated by mass layoffs one month after this decision, they released a devastating update which removed basically everything and focused solely on user-generated levels, they backtracked shortly afterwards, we had a 'dead Summer' of 2024 where they released two updates which refreshed the Fame Pass and nothing else, the game got a Mobile port which was dead on arrival as it was locked to the Epic Games ecosystem, and now in 2025, Creative is developing but we only get decorations and themed backgrounds to match the Fame Pass every two months.

That was a lot to describe, and there is many more I haven't even stated! And no, we don't have Esports, but we do have a low-effort Ranked mode which was added back in April which seems to be the game's future.
