Rematch Off to a Phenomenal Start, Poised to Dethrone Helldivers 2 as Multiplayer King

Last year, Helldivers 2 dominated the multiplayer scene with record-breaking sales and a flurry of online discussion. But in 2025, a new contender is rapidly gaining ground. Rematch, a team-based football simulator from Sloclap, has burst onto the scene with remarkable momentum.

Within just five days of its release, Rematch has already drawn over 2.5 million players and sold more than 1 million copies—an explosive debut by any measure.

The game’s early stats speak volumes:

• ⚽ 11.78 million matches played
• 🎯 58 million goals scored
• 🤝 33.54 million passes completed
• 🧤 69.12 million saves made by goalkeepers

Despite its strong start, Rematch hasn’t been without growing pains. Players have voiced concerns about technical hiccups and the absence of crossplay between PC and consoles. Sloclap has acknowledged the feedback and assured fans that fixes are on the way, citing the game's runaway popularity as a surprise that temporarily outpaced their expectations.

Rematch is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Game Pass.
