Psyonix have confirmed that the game will remain on the steam platform until late 2019 and for anyone who has bought the game on steam will be able to continue playing it in the future. However it is unclear whether it will remain on\u00a0 the platform after the transition period has been completed. It is highly likely that the game will become an Epic Games exclusive and therefore PC Gamers will only be able to purchase through the Epic games platform.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in collectables?
