Both games are available in my library and they are probably in yours too if you pre-ordered some hardware. This morning when I logged into Steam the news got even better as Valve put one more on top and also gave out Portal 2 on top of Rocket League.
You don’t have to do anything at all, it will automatically show up in your steam library and all you have to do is install it. The reply was almost instant and the news is good. So I reached out to Valve to hear how I could redeem my new free game. I am personally one of those who pre-ordered a Steam Controller from the first pre-order batch and as such I was extra curious.
The initial email from Valve on this didn’t really specify how people would get the free games, whether they would show up as coupons or you’d had to claim it somehow. That offer is valid for the Steam Controllers, Steam Link, and Steam Machines. Valve announced late last night that all those will get a free copy of Rocket League. The second way they are celebrating this is even better, at least for those of us that pre-ordered Steam Hardware or still plan on doing so before the launch. A milestone like that has to be celebrated and the first way that is done is by creating a SteamOS and MacOS version of the game, bringing it to even more platforms and potential gamers. Rocket League has got an extremely popular launch on Steam and already sold more than 1 million copies on the platform since release last month.
