Rematch reaches 3 million unique players in its first week

Sloclap made a significant shift with their latest release, transitioning from the martial arts-focused, revenge-themed roguelike Sifu to the energetic sports game Rematch. This change seems to have been successful for the French development team, as they revealed on Tuesday that Rematch has amassed an impressive 3 million unique players, a figure reached just days after its official release and following some initial challenges.

In a fantastic update, Rematch now boasts over 3 million unique players! Here’s a quick rundown:

– Matches played: -11.8 million (Yes, that’s a lot!)
– Goals scored: 55.6 million
– Assists made: 33.5 million
– Saves completed: 69.1 million

This is only the start! We appreciate your support, both on and off the field! #rematch [Image or embed]

On their official Rematch Bluesky Social platform, Sloclap revealed some exciting news. Not only that, but they also shared a variety of other figures, such as the 11.8 million matches contested, 55.6 million goals scored, 33.5 million assists given, and an impressive 69.1 million saves made.

Initially debuted about a week ago, on June 19th, Rematch became accessible for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S users, including those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass. The game’s unique focus on skill-based arcade soccer where every user controls a single player has captivated the audience, particularly those who appreciated its open beta showcase.

However, the launch wasn’t without complications as it was initially planned for cross-platform play but faced some technical hurdles right before release. Additionally, there have been issues with online performance, causing lag, desynchronization problems, and even occasional freezes and crashes. The developers acknowledged these concerns in a Steam post on the game’s launch date and are currently working diligently to rectify them. A minor patch addressing frequent crashes and a sleep mode bug was released earlier today, with further patches anticipated in the future.

Because it takes extra time for a thorough assessment when launching a live service game into the public, Shacknews’ Rematch review isn’t ready just yet. However, you can play Rematch right away if you’d like to be among the 3 million players currently enjoying the game. Look forward to a complete review in the future!
