Rematch Season 1 Launches With Crossplay and New 3v3 Ranked Mode

The update unifies players across platforms to improve matchmaking, with ranked adjustments scheduled for October.

Overview

  • Cross-platform play is now live across PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, ending platform separation since launch.
  • A competitive 3v3 ranked playlist debuts, letting squads of three queue together in structured matches.
  • Balance and quality-of-life changes include improved locomotion responsiveness, a rework to goalkeeper dives against volleys, stricter skill-based matchmaking and a nerf to the widely used 'Ippy Slide' technique.
  • Sloclap is testing Network Next to reduce regional latency, starting with players on the São Paulo server before wider rollout.
  • The roadmap calls for an October patch adding league demotion and dynamic rank points, a new mode later in the current chapter, a 1v1 mode in Season 2 and clubs, tournaments and World Cup-themed events in 2026.
