In summer, a multiplayer game that football fans should keep an eye on is coming out. Now you have the chance to test the game for free.
What kind of game is it? Rematch (PC, PS, Xbox) is a multiplayer game where 2 teams consisting of 5 players compete against each other in a football match. The gameplay reminds one of games like Rocket League or Roller Champions and is distinctly different from football simulations like EA FC (formerly FIFA) or eFootball (formerly Pro Evolution Soccer).
There is no referee in Rematch who whistles according to strict rules. You can tackle your opponents anytime without injuring them. Additionally, every player can take on any position on the field and play their opponents dizzy with impressive tricks, skill shots, or precise passing.
Good teamwork is a decisive factor during a match to leave the field victorious. Anyone solely interested in their own scoring and neglecting defense will quickly see their team fall behind.
The first beta was well received, making players eager for more
How Rematch has been received so far: Already in April 2024, Rematch invited players to a beta on Steam. The test was well received by many gamers despite minor technical issues. Some players wrote on Reddit that they pre-ordered the game after the first beta, while others commented that it is one of the few upcoming games they are really looking forward to.
Overall, Rematch recorded up to 133,000 concurrent active players during the first beta. They were positively surprised by the game and had a lot of fun with the gameplay – and when the beta ended, the question of when the next beta would take place was often found on Reddit.
The most discussed criticism of the game is the price. Some players are convinced that Rematch should be a free-to-play game, similar to Rocket League. Instead, Rematch will cost a total of 24.99 Euros at release on June 29, 2025.
Rematch invites to the second beta
When is the next beta test for Rematch? The second and final beta test for Rematch started on May 28, 2025, and runs until May 31, 2025. The beta is available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
How to participate in the beta: If you want to take part in the second beta of Rematch, you need to register on the official website of the game at playrematch.com and request a key. If you receive access to the beta, the developers will inform you via email.
If you want to play the beta via Steam, you can also request access to the beta directly through the Steam page of the game.
Moreover, all players who already participated in the first beta can also take part in the second beta without having to request a key again.
Rematch is one of many multiplayer games coming out in 2025. The other titles you can expect this year have been summarized for you by MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz. You can find the complete overview here: New MMOs and multiplayer games 2025: Look forward to these releases
