REMATCH Kicks Off First Season with Free Play on PC
Fans of fast-paced arcade football rejoice! Sloclap, the acclaimed studio behind the martial arts hit Sifu, has just launched the first full season for their football title, REMATCH. To celebrate this milestone, the developers are offering a special promotion: players can jump into REMATCH for free on PC via Steam, starting today and running until September 29th.
The launch of Season 1 is accompanied by a substantial update, version 1.201.000, bringing several key improvements and new features. Most notably, the game’s cross-play functionality has officially exited its beta phase, promising a more stable and connected player experience across platforms. Furthermore, the update introduces a new 3v3 match type, offering a fresh way to compete.
Sloclap has also addressed various gameplay elements, making adjustments to player movements and overall game balance. Numerous bugs have been fixed, and a new 'Network Next' system has been implemented. This system is designed to reduce response times for players experiencing high ping, aiming for a smoother online experience for a wider range of users.
However, player reception for REMATCH remains a mixed bag. While the game holds an overall 'Mostly Positive' rating on Steam, based on over 28,000 reviews (71% positive), recent reviews have shifted to 'Mixed,' with only 56% positive ratings. Many players are reporting persistent issues with connecting to matches and have expressed disappointment that recent updates haven't fully addressed their concerns regarding gameplay improvements.
Despite these challenges, the free weekend presents a perfect opportunity for prospective players to experience REMATCH firsthand, try out the new Season 1 content, and see the cross-play feature in action. The game is currently available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, featuring full text localization in Russian.
