[Help] Stuck in Inventory Limbo: Returning 2018 Steam Player (Mac User) trying to sync with Xbox. Activation site down?

Hey everyone,

I’m a returning player dealing with a very specific account linking "deadlock," and I’m hoping someone here has found a workaround because Epic Support is giving me generic advice.

Here is the chronological breakdown of my situation:

1. The "OG" Era (2018–2020) I played heavily on Steam during this time. I have a lot of legacy items (DLC cars, titles, etc.) on this account. I eventually stopped playing for a few years.

2. The Return (2025) I picked the game up again recently, but now I play on Xbox. When I started on Xbox, it automatically linked to my current/main Epic Games account.

3. The "Ghost Account" Fix (What I’ve already done) I wanted to merge my old Steam inventory to my current Xbox account. I realized my Steam ID was stuck on an old "ghost" (nameless) Epic account.

• I managed to log into that ghost account via a browser workaround.
• I successfully unlinked my Steam ID from the ghost account.
• I successfully linked my Steam ID to my current main Epic (Xbox) account in the connections tab.

4. The Problem: Inventory Won't Sync Even though the accounts are linked in my Epic settings, my Steam items (2018 era) are not appearing on my Xbox.

5. The Deadlock (Why I can't fix it) Usually, the advice is "Launch the game on Steam to trigger the sync" or "Go to the activation website." I can't do either:

• Constraint A (Mac User): I am on a Mac. Since Rocket League ended macOS support, I physically cannot launch the game on Steam to access the menu or "trigger" the inventory update. I do not have access to a Windows PC.
• Constraint B (Website Down): rocketleague.com/activate appears to be broken or offline right now (Dec 2025), so I cannot manually set my Primary Platform or force the check from there.

The Question: Has anyone else successfully merged a Steam inventory to a console recently without having access to a PC to launch the Steam version?

Is there a workaround I'm missing, or am I completely at the mercy of Epic Support manually forcing a sync?

Thanks RL community, pls need response ASAP
