Now that Epic Games has cut off Mac/Linux support for Rocket League, what are my options to get it back? Do I need to use Lutris now somehow, or can I just use a specific compatability layer in Steam?

Pissed at Epic for doing this, I thought support for SteamOS was supposed to be easy for devs using Proton?

Edit: Heroic Launcher was the solution, and very easy. Thanks to all!! Edit 2: Heroic Launcher version was being weird with a controller so switching RL on Steam to Proton Experimental also worked.

If you already own the game on Steam just use Proton. It ran perfectly fine for me through various proton versions over the years (whatever was the latest at the times I played) or proton expiremental. Before they dropped native support I would typically run the game through Proton anyways as it performed much better than the native Linux version at the time.

Otherwise using Heroic game launcher should be fine. Prior to Heroic getting popular I saw that people were installing Epic Games Store via Lutris and that ran Rocket League fine too.
