Rematchdeveloper Sloclap has just rolled out the first major patch for the breakout soccer game. Dubbed 1.200.100, the newRematchupdate brings a raft of fixes, tweaks, and quality-of-life improvements that look to sharpen the on-pitch experience for players across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Since its launch on June 19,Rematchhas been accruing favor among gamers thanks to its unique blend of arcade-style soccer gameplay and distinctive art style. Having launched into Xbox Game Pass on day one,Rematchgarnered over one million unique playersin less than 24 hours, and as it stands, the game has attracted more than five million unique players. Despite this excellent early momentum,Rematchplayers have been quick to point out the lack of certain essential features, and SloClap has addressed a lot of the complaints with the game’s first big update.
Update 1.200.100 brings one of themost requested features for Rematch: gamepad remapping. Players can finally customize button layouts, and while the functionality is still fairly basic - only single-button commands are supported for now - Sloclap says a more advanced remapping system is on the way.Rematchplayers now also gain better control of the ball through fixes to hit detection, player collisions, and blocking mechanics, particularly those involving defenders and goalkeepers. The latter has seen one of the most noticeable upgrades, with goalies now evaluating ball speed more effectively when choosing to catch or deflect, and reacting more reliably to player collisions.
The newRematchupdate also improves animations, tackles camera jitter during goal replays, and introduces a Colorblind Mode. This accessibility feature adjusts team kit colors based on three common types of color vision deficiency and will be expanded further infutureRematchupdatesto apply to the entire screen. Sloclap also notes improvements in environment lighting, menu UX tweaks, and scoreboard visibility at the end of matches. Still, a few known bugs remain, like rare sound glitches and achievement issues, but more fixes are expected within two to three weeks.
While the long-awaited crossplay feature forRematchdidn’t make it into Update 1.200.100, the breadth and impact of the inclusions are none less than staggering. SloClap has enjoyed ahealthy influx ofRematchplayersover the past month, and the game’s first major update seems like a crucial step in maintaining that momentum by going after issues that can be addressed quickly.
