If you’ve been keeping tabs on upcoming sports games, there’s a good chance Rematch has popped up on your radar. It’s the new arcade-style football (soccer, for our American friends) game coming from Sloclap. Its the same studio behind the martial arts hit Sifu. With its flashy visuals, fast-paced gameplay, and futuristic setting, Rematch is looking like a wild ride. But one big question a lot of players are asking right now is: Is Rematch going to have crossplay?
Short answer: Yes. And it’s looking great.
|So, Is There Crossplay?
Not yet. Sloclap originally planned for Rematch to launch with full crossplay support across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. But right before release, the studio confirmed that crossplay had to be delayed due to technical challenges.
They’ve said that crossplay is working internally but still needs debugging, UI integration, and certification from all three platforms. While it was disappointing news for fans eager to play with friends across systems, Sloclap made it clear this is a top priority and it will be added in a future update..
|What’s the Game About?
Set in a futuristic world in 2065, Rematch takes the core of football and gives it a vibrant, arcade-style twist. You’re not dealing with full 90-minute matches here, these games are short (about 6 minutes), chaotic, and packed with action.
Some highlights include 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 match formats depending on how you want to play. There are no offsides or fouls, which keeps things moving fast. You can customize your player however you like, there are no limits based on gender or body type. The over-the-shoulder camera makes the action feel more personal, and the dynamic music system reacts to the flow of the match, keeping the energy high.
It’s football reimagined for people who just want to have fun and jump into action without getting bogged down by rules.

|Should You Be Hyped?
If you enjoy team-based multiplayer games with short match times and a big focus on arcade fun, Rematch is definitely worth watching. Even without crossplay at launch, the game already boasts a solid player base and smooth gameplay.
Once crossplay is live, it’s going to be even easier to jump in with your friends, no matter what platform they’re on. Until then, you can still enjoy the core experience solo or with friends on the same platform.
