Soccer video game “REMATCH” has sold over one million copies in its first weekend. The game also reached more than 2.5 million players across all platforms since launching on June 19, 2025. In the game’s first weekend, players participated in 11.78 million matches.
They scored 58.58 million goals and made 33.54 million assists. Goalkeepers in the game made 69.12 million saves. “REMATCH” is a fast-paced soccer game featuring three-on-three, four-on-four, or five-on-five matches.
Each player controls one character from a third-person view in digital arenas. The game has no fouls or offsides. Quick reactions and teamwork are key to winning.
The game captures the intensity of soccer in its purest form. It was made by Sloclap, a studio known for action games based on martial arts. The game removes rules like fouls, offsides, throw-ins, and corner kicks.
Walls surround the entire field, allowing for rebound and volley plays. Players rotate in and out of the goalkeeper position as they move around. Balls fly overhead from dramatic bicycle kicks.
Rematch reaches sales milestone
The game focuses on the physical aspects of soccer, like collisions and daring plays. Every moment feels like a highlight.
Real people control every player, requiring quick strategic thinking. Precise control of kicks, passes, and tackles is needed to succeed. The controls are challenging but satisfying to learn.
Players can master the complex moves, though it’s not as hard as some other games. The game has some technical problems in its first season. These include players and the ball teleporting, opponents getting the ball for no reason, crashes, and lag.
The PC version also has some setup issues. But the developer is working to fix these problems. “REMATCH” is very addictive.
Tied games go into tense overtime periods until someone scores. The music builds the excitement, rising as you run to the goal and stopping suddenly for big saves. Once the bugs are fixed, “REMATCH” could become the next big esports game.
The developer has made an exciting, competitive game that even non-soccer fans can enjoy.
