Alright, so here goes nothing. Imagine sitting on the couch with me, chatting about games while forgetting what we were even talking about. Anyway, Sloclap, the peeps behind that super stylish game Sifu, are up to something different. They’ve got this multiplayer soccer game, Rematch. Now, it’s not just, you know, soccer. It’s got this crazy five-a-side vibe with arenas that somehow manage to pop right out at you. And surprise—there’s a beta going on till May 31! Just a small detail.
So, you can jump into this frenzy on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, or PC. They’re teasing the official launch on June 19. Oh, and if you’re Team Xbox, good news—it’s part of Game Pass at launch. Nice, right? Some might say the beta’s hard to get into, but honestly, people are sneaking in pretty easily. Maybe it’s luck? Or some magic trick; no idea.
Sloclap, those folks from Paris—such a cool city, if not a bit too busy for my taste—are letting us dive into Rematch early. And, oh boy, the art style! If you liked Sifu’s look, you’re in for a treat. But this isn’t martial arts; it’s soccer that feels like a painting. But with strategy—and chaos. Did I mention it’s totally free to try the beta? Well, there you go.
Now, how do you leap into this beta playground? It’s kinda like getting a secret club invite. On PC, you just say “Hey!” on Steam, and bam, you’re in. Easy peasy. Consoles? A bit more jump-through-hoops. Sign-up, verify, dance a little jig—okay, maybe not that last one. But if you’re persistent, you’ll get there. Still, sounds like a classic “hurry up and wait” situation. Ah, tech.
The beta’s running until May 31, with a morning wrap-up. Fingers crossed none of us get lost in time zones. It’s supposed to be a stress test, so expect hiccups, bottlenecks, and maybe some network chaos. But hey, that’s testing life. Personally, I find bugs kinda endearing—like little gremlins that need taming. Helps make things smoother later, right?
Sloclap’s aiming for controls that sing, like soccer magic at your fingertips. For now, they just want to see how their system handles a crowd. No feedback needed, they’re just focused on making sure it doesn’t all crash like my Wi-Fi when it rains.
So yeah, Rematch is coming, and it’s got all the pieces to be something uniquely chaotic and fun. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype when it finally boots up for real in June, right? Fingers crossed.
