Sloclap’s latest sports title, Rematch, has achieved over 3 million active participants and 1 million units purchased, according to a recent statement by the developer.
This marks a significant success for the studio following their acclaimed martial arts release, Sifu, and underscores the impact of its Xbox Game Pass debut on player engagement.
After its full release on June 19, the football simulator attracted 1 million unique users within its first day across both direct purchases and subscription access. In under a week since launch—and a fortnight since early access for premium editions began—player counts have grown threefold alongside robust commercial performance.

In our Wccftech evaluation, we noted Rematch’s polished mechanics contrast with peripheral concerns. While match pacing and controls excel, challenges like unintuitive interfaces, gradual unlock systems, and misleading stat categorization—such as counting goalkeeper deflections as interceptions rather than saves—detract from the experience. However, these flaws don’t negate the game’s solid foundation, with many issues likely addressable through updates alongside ongoing bug fixes.
For newcomers, one piece of advice remains crucial: prioritize teamwork and precise passes—a fundamental often overlooked in chaotic online matches.
