Rematch Surpasses 3 Million Players in Just Six Days After Launch
Rematch Achieves Rapid Success with Over 3 Million Players
The arcade-style sports action game Rematch, developed by Sloclap, has quickly captured the attention of the gaming community, surpassing 3 million players within just six days of its release. The game was officially launched on June 19, and recent data shows that peak online concurrent players on Steam exceeded 78,000 during the past 24 hours.
Impressive Player Engagement and Match Statistics
According to the developers, since launch, players have participated in a staggering 11.8 million matches. They have scored over 55.6 million goals and executed 33.5 million assists. Additionally, players have successfully blocked nearly 69.1 million shots, highlighting the high level of engagement and competitive intensity within the game.
Platform Availability and Player Feedback
Rematch is accessible across all major gaming platforms, offering broad accessibility for fans of multiplayer sports and fighting games. However, it currently lacks cross-platform play, which remains a point of criticism among the community. Many players are eager for this feature to be implemented in future updates to enhance multiplayer connectivity.
Gameplay and Development Insights
Rematch is a 5v5 team-based game that combines elements of traditional sports with fighting game mechanics. The development studio, Sloclap—known for titles like Sifu and Absolver—has incorporated its extensive experience in combat systems into this new project. Success in matches depends heavily on timing, spatial control, and precise coordination between players, making for a challenging and exhilarating experience.
Broader Gaming Industry Trends
Remarkably, this surge in popularity comes shortly after industry milestones, such as the PlayStation 5 online community surpassing that of the PlayStation 4 for the first time. A year ago, the number of console owners was roughly equal, but recent trends show a shift towards the newer generation.
In another gaming milestone, Star Wars Battlefront 2 fans recently set a new record for online players, with 18,000 gamers simultaneously enjoying the game during a dedicated event.
