Sloclap’s first major update for Rematch is now live across PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
Season 1 introduces the much-requested 3v3 ranked game mode, new cosmetics, new customisations and yes, finally, crossplay. Alongside all this you’ll find fixes and balances to player locomotion, improving reactivity and precision, while nerfing certain exploits such as the infamous “Ippy Slide” (search it on Tiktok if you’re not sure). Goalkeeper dives have been reworked to make them more effective against volleys. Skill-based matchmaking parameters are now stricter, especially in ranked matches, ensuring more evenly matched teams.
These all seem like very welcome additions, especially the goalkeeper dive reworks as volleys could be a bit of a menace previously.
In October, the next patch will introduce two major changes to the ranked system: league demotion and dynamic rank points, both designed to ensure that league placement more accurately reflects each player’s current level.
Looking further ahead, the team is hard at work on future updates including a 1v1 game mode, planned for Season 2. Additional features in development include a clubs system, tournament systems, World Cup-themed events and more making 2026 a big year for Rematch.
“With over 6 million players, over 100 million hours and 525 million matches played, Season 0 has been both incredible and humbling for the Sloclap team. A whole competitive scene has emerged, with teams created, tournaments organized, mechanics dissected and this is a huge motivation for the team to keep improving the game in all dimensions. We want to thank all players who have tried out the game during Season 0. We hope you will enjoy Season 1, and we are determined to keep making Rematch better and better for many seasons to come. See you on the pitch”. – Pierre Tarno, Sloclap CEO and Rematch creative director.
