Score! What a brilliant play from Sloclap and Microsoft. With Rematch landing on Game Pass this summer, this upcoming football title is already positioning itself to leave other sports sims in the dust.
Sloclap, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Sifu, is back in the spotlight with a bold new project. Rematch marks a fresh entry into the sports genre, and it’s making all the right moves. The developer’s new IP is generating serious buzz—and not without reason. According to Sloclap, over 1.3 million players signed up for the closed beta, proving there’s major anticipation building for this unique take on the beautiful game.
And now, the hype levels have kicked up another notch.
Rematch is officially joining Xbox Game Pass on Day One, launching across Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on 19 June 2025. If you’re already a subscriber, you won’t need to spend a penny extra to jump into the action from the very start. That means easy access to what could be one of the most exciting sports games in recent memory.
The news came directly from Rematch’s official X account (formerly Twitter), and while the announcement isn’t brand new, the enthusiasm from fans is still going strong. With a growing player base and a Game Pass launch just around the corner, Rematch is shaping up to be a must-play title this summer.
So, mark your calendars, double-check that Game Pass subscription, and get ready to kick off on 19 June. Football’s coming home—with a brand-new twist.
