The recently launched indie soccer game Rematch has taken the gaming world by storm, achieving an impressive milestone shortly after its debut on Xbox Game Pass. Developed by Sloclap, the studio behind acclaimed titles like Sifu, Rematch offers a fresh take on soccer with its physics-based ball mechanics and competitive multiplayer modes.

Unlike traditional soccer games such as EA FC, Rematch features a freely moving ball that demands precision and skill from players. The game's 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 modes provide varied gameplay experiences, while its ranked mode adds an extra layer of competition for those seeking a challenge.

In a recent announcement, Sloclap revealed that Rematch has surpassed three million players on Xbox alone. This figure doesn't even account for its PlayStation 5 and PC player bases, suggesting the game's total audience could be significantly larger. While it's unclear how many players accessed the game through Game Pass versus purchasing it outright, the subscription service likely played a major role in this achievement.

Sloclap has big plans for Rematch's future, with multiple seasons of content in development. The game recently received its first major update, addressing bugs and improving gameplay. Players can expect more enhancements and new modes as Season 1 approaches.
