Rematch Dev Explains What Went Wrong With Crossplay, Apologizes for Failing to Tell Players as Soon as It Knew It Wouldn’t Make Launch
NO LOC, JUN 19 – Sloclap apologized for the missing crossplay at Rematch's launch and confirmed it is the top priority alongside bug fixes after 1.9 million players participated in the beta.
- Sloclap launched its arcade-style multiplayer soccer game Rematch on June 19 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC without the crossplay feature.
- The studio faced unforeseen technical complexities that prevented crossplay from being ready at launch and admitted it should have communicated this earlier.
- Rematch had a popular beta with 1.9 million participants and currently experiences issues including lag, desync, crashes, and freezes that Sloclap is actively addressing.
- Sloclap stated crossplay is its absolute highest priority and committed to delivering it swiftly while working on broader updates like tournaments, leaderboards, and social features.
- The absence of crossplay currently limits players to their own platforms, but the studio promises transparent communication on progress and cautions that full feature rollout will take time.

This can happen when the game's developer or publisher mistakenly considers all multiplayer to be co-op, or when they consider team-based competitive multiplayer to be co-op. When that happens, we'll say the game is Not So Co-op. REMATCH is a freshly launched arcade-style soccer/fo…

Rematch, the game about kicking it in the goal from Sifu and Absolver devs Sloclap, have launched today, June 19th. The folks behind it have rung in that occasion by outlining a bunch of their future plans, as well as saying they're very sorry you can't currently show off your mouse and keyboard skills by nutmegging some fool who owns one of those ex-boxers.
