Hereof, why did Rocket League get off Steam?
Epic Games acquired Psyonix in 2019. When Rocket League appeared in free-to-play form, it became unavailable on Steam. “At the request of the publisher, Rocket League is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search,” the store page now says.
One may also ask, why did Epic Games buy Rocket League? The deal was a one in a series of purchases that Epic Games made in order to furnish their Epic Store with richer content. Epic, through its Store, is trying to become a new force in the video game distribution market.
Furthermore, is Rocket League free on Steam too?

Rocket League will lose its $19.99 price tag and go down to zero on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It'll be free on PC, too, but it will no longer be on Steam.
Can you still get RL on Steam?
If you previously purchased Rocket League on Steam, you can still download and play the game like you always have with no issues. The Steam version of Rocket League will also be fully supported moving forward, so if you don't want to make the jump to the Epic Games Store, you won't need to if you already own the game.
