Rematch Kicks Off First Season, Introduces a Much-Requested Game Mode
On Sept. 23, 2025, Sloclap announced Rematch’s Season 1 updates, which included heavily requested features such as the 3v3 ranked game mode and fixes to player movement. The Season starts today. The developers didn’t mention its end date.
Regarding player movement, the developers mentioned that they’ve improved reactivity and precision, while nerfing exploits such as the Ippy Slide. Goalkeeper dives have also been reworked to make them more effective against volleys.
Regarding matchmaking and ranked, the developers seemed to have tightened them, saying that “Skill-based matchmaking parameters are now stricter, especially in ranked matches, ensuring more evenly matched teams.”
The press release also provided some insight into the game’s future. The developers mentioned that the October patch will feature two major changes in the ranked system, which are league demotion and dynamic rank points. They mentioned that these features are “designed to ensure that league placement more accurately reflects each player’s current level.”
Aside from these, the developers are also celebrating the game reaching over 6 million players, over 100 million hours and 525 million matches played. They also acknowledged the emerging competitive scene for the game.
Rematch was released on June 19, 2025, for the PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game didn’t have crossplay until just recently, which was a much-requested feature.
