Rematch Patch 3 Goes Live With Cross-Play After Brief Delay

Sloclap released the update following final-test matchmaking failures that derailed this week’s planned rollout.

Overview

  • Cross-play is live across all platforms with Patch 3, according to a Friday update reported by Wccftech.
  • The release follows a pause announced Thursday after final checks uncovered a major matchmaking issue linked to cross-play.
  • Sloclap said many testers were stuck in matchmaking without the ability to cancel or restart, which triggered the postponement.
  • Patch 3 also adjusts gameplay by lowering the maximum lock-on volley speed by 10% and reducing the power boost from aerial extra effort volleys, plus adds tap direction on mouse and keyboard and bug fixes.
  • Rematch launched in June and surpassed 5 million players in its first month thanks in part to Xbox Game Pass, with this patch previously penciled in for September 3 after a brief beta.
