After a short delay, Rematch has received its third significant update, introducing crossplay, new battle pass rewards, and a player reporting feature. Players are praising Rematch as one of the best sports titles of 2025 due to its innovative third-person perspective on gameplay, moving away from the traditional magnetized ball control seen in larger soccer franchises.
As a live service game, developer Sloclap has continuously released patches and updates since Rematch’s successful June debut. While the game launched with solid gameplay, these ongoing updates have refined the skill-based mechanics, enhancing player experience. The recent patch was slightly delayed but is now live, bringing exciting features to the online soccer community.
What’s New?
- Crossplay allows players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC to invite and team up with others across platforms.
- Player reporting functionality enables the community to report disruptive players.
- The new “Endgame” battle pass rewards, including five new unlocks, await dedicated players.
Gameplay Enhancements
This update also features various gameplay improvements, notably for the Rematch boost ability called “Extra Effort,” which allows players to temporarily enhance their speed at the cost of stamina. The update includes fixes for ball control and animations related to this feature, as well as a camera lock for controller users, enhancing shot stability.
Issues and Future Updates
While the new features are welcomed, Xbox players are still facing issues with game achievements. Sloclap aims to address these in their upcoming patch scheduled for mid-September, alongside the anticipated Season 1 rollout of Rematch. Stay tuned for further updates from the developers.
