Concord had a free beta on Steam before it launched, too, and not very many people played it. That was when I knew that the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/is-concord-the-biggest-live-service-failure-of-all-time-heres-how-it-stacks-up-next-to-other-major-flops\/\">doomed FPS<\/a> was really in trouble. Conversely, today&#8217;s success suggests that Rematch could do very well.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of Rematch is simple: 5v5 soccer, and each human player controls one player on the field.<\/p>\n<p>There are no rocket powered battle cars, but it gets compared to Rocket League because it&#8217;s distinct from other sports games in the same way. It&#8217;s not about controlling all the players on the field, but about controlling one player and working directly with your teammates.<\/p>\n<p>In terms developer Sloclap used when <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/sports\/rematch-hands-on-preview-sloclap\/\">we visited the French studio for a preview recently<\/a>: FIFA is a<em> <\/em>football simulation, while Rematch is a <em>football player<\/em> simulation.<\/p>\n<p>Where Remtach differs most from Rocket League is in the controls. Rocket League is fundamentally a physics game\u2014you are manually bouncing the ball around by driving and flying into it\u2014whereas Rematch has more traditional sports game controls. That makes it a little less appealing to me (there&#8217;s nothing like executing an aerial Rocket League goal), but clearly there&#8217;s room for a grounded, not-rocket-powered version of the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, so I&#8217;m really not sure why there aren&#8217;t two dozen games like this, or just more soccer games in general. (Yeah, yeah, <em>football<\/em> games if you live anywhere else in the world.)<\/p>\n<p>Rematch is a new direction for Sloclap: The studio previously made Absolver, a multiplayer martial arts game that was popular but should&#8217;ve been more popular, and the successful singleplayer kung-fu game <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/sifu-review\/\">Sifu<\/a>. It looks like the transition from fighting to sports has been graceful.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the $30 price tag, Rematch creative director Pierre Tarno <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/sports\/just-make-a-very-good-game-sloclap-dismisses-the-idea-that-online-games-need-to-be-free-to-play\/\">told PC Gamer<\/a> that he never even considered going free-to-play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the things I love about making games is that there is no secret formula or anything, but the best way\u2014or maybe actually the only way\u2014to make a commercial success is to just make a very good game,&#8221; Tarno said.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to try out Rematch this weekend, you can request access to the beta by hitting the button on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2138720\/REMATCH\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Steam page<\/a>. It took a few minutes, but we were all granted access\u2014and clearly over 100,000 others were\u2014so it doesn&#8217;t seem like there&#8217;s a limit.<\/p>\n<p>The full Rematch launch is coming June 19.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"4fe99ce0-5523-40aa-b3eb-c7612f397ba6\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rematch-passes-100k-steam-concurrents-in-open-beta-as-rocket-league-but-with-feet-turns-out-to-be-a-winning-idea.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"4fe99ce0-5523-40aa-b3eb-c7612f397ba6\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/sports\/rematch-passes-100k-steam-concurrents-in-open-beta-as-rocket-league-but-with-feet-turns-out-to-be-a-winning-idea\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve seen lots of attempts to recreate the success of Rocket League over the past decade, but none have come close.
