After launching early for Pro and Elite Edition owners, Sloclap’s competitive football title Rematch is out now on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out the launch trailer below.
While it’s a somewhat unusual pivot for the studio behind Sifu, Rematch focuses more on skill-based gameplay. You control a single player (with a robust character creator for shaping your avatar) in 5v5 matches with rules more akin to street football, which means no fouls or pauses. Competitive play is available for those who want to climb the ranks, and seasons will bring new content over time.
While its open beta peaked at nearly 160,000 concurrent players on Steam, the full game is nearing 55,000 peak concurrent players at this time of writing. That could improve over the weekend, especially with a recent patch addressing issues with desync. Unfortunately, cross-platform play isn’t available at launch, but it’s one of the “top priorities” for the team. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
