This isn't an argument in support of Epic account requirements, but they never lied about it. See here from the initial announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/i7vhcd/_/g14e8v5 https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/i7vhcd/_/g14e... Edit: Also from the text of the announcement blog post on cross account progression: "Rocket League’s cross-platform progression is made possible with an Epic Games Account. So, creating one or signing into your existing Epic Games Account is the first step of the process. You'll be prompted to do this when you start up Rocket League for the first time after the update. Once that's completed, there are a couple of different ways to connect your Rocket League platforms to your Epic Games Account and complete the process for cross-platform progression. "
