Launched on June 19, Rematch already shows breath to consolidate among the main football titles in the market. Developed by Sloclap, the game reached 1 million copies sold in a few days and added more than 2.5 million players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S and PC platforms. The differentiated proposal, which escapes conventional rules of football, has attracted a curious audience for innovation in the sports genre.
Unlike traditional simulators, Rematch bets on fast and rules -free matches such as absences or impediments. The focus is on continuous action, reflections as well as collective strategies within third -person stylized arenas. Sloclap, previously known as Sifu, surprises by venturing for the first time in the sports genre with a concept that mixes arcade and competitiveness.
Rematch was immediately successful in the early days
The numbers recorded on the first weekend are impressive. There were more than 11 million matches played in just three days, indicating high engagement from the community.

The title is still available in the Game Pass service, which expands its reach and facilitates the access of new curious players for the news.
Criticism and improvements in progress of rematch
Despite the positive reception, not everything is compliments. Part of the community reported difficulties with online multiplayer mode, especially regarding the stability of connections. The developer has already spoken and said she is working on updates and corrections to improve the overall experience.
