The long-awaited arcade football game Rematch of Sifu and Absolver maker Sloclap launches on June 19, 2025, on PC (Windows), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox Game Pass support on console and PC. But die-hard competitors can get a head start of three days from June 16 on certain editions.
In contrast to old 11-a-side simulations such as EA FC, Rematch provides quick-paced, human-scoped action in 3v3, 4v4, and its premier 5v5 variants. Games are arena-style, six minutes, third-person, and feature no fouls, offsides, throw-ins, or goal kicks.
Sloclap brings its impact, precision, and responsive controls into every move, emphasizing stamina management, manual aiming, and creative attacks such as volleys or overhead passes. The levels offer colorful, renewable-energy-based stadiums (wind turbines, hydro dams, etc.) in an optimistic 2065 future world.
During the launch, Rematch won’t allow crossplay between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. However, Sloclap has vowed it’s one of its top priority updates.
