Rematch crossplay “highest priority” as devs apologize for missing feature

by

The developers of Rematch have expressed their apologies for not including crossplay functionality when the game initially launched, a feature that left several players within the community disheartened.

Instead of games such as EA SPORTS FC 25 where players manage entire teams, Rematch offers an alternative experience by enabling users to control only one player in swift-moving 5v5 encounters. The number of participants in the beta test on Steam reached a high of 159,865, demonstrating its widespread appeal among football enthusiasts.

However, Rematch’s June 19 launch has been far from positive. Currently, the game sits at Mostly Positive on Steam, with one major point of contention being the lack of crossplay. Sloclap has revealed that “unforeseen technical complexities” stopped them from adding the feature and has provided an update for fans. 

Rematch devs reveal crossplay is “highest priority” 

In their official post, the developers explained that they had hoped to let players on different platforms enjoy Rematch together from the start. Despite making every effort, they found themselves confronted with unexpected technical difficulties during the development of crossplay for this first-time venture in multiplatform play, which delayed its inclusion at launch.

Apologies for the delay in informing you, but it turned out that crossplay wouldn’t be ready at launch. We regret any inconvenience and disappointment this may have caused some of our gamers. Providing a fun and social gaming experience is crucial to us, so fixing bugs and implementing crossplay are our top priorities to ensure you can play Rematch with your friends as soon as possible.

Sloclap has shared that they’re eagerly working on crossplay functionality and already have a preliminary version ready. Yet, they acknowledge that it needs some finishing touches and refinement before it can be deployed into the actual game.

The developers have not specified when they will introduce the much-anticipated feature, however, they assure players that it’s coming promptly and they’ll provide a definite timeline soon. In other words, while progress may take some time, the studio is putting in their best efforts to expedite its release.
