Rematch, a flashy new competitive soccer game from Sifu developer Sloclap, is a big hit, reaching over 1 million players in its first day. That number includes those who bought the game and checked it out through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Sloclap shared the news on X Friday morning while also promising to continue improving and fixing the game. If you looked at publicly available player count data, though, this wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.
One million unique players in 24 hours. Seeing so many of you jump into Rematch on day one is incredible.🫶
The whole team is super grateful! And already hard at work on fixing and improving the game.
We are just getting started.⚽️ pic.twitter.com/87i3Wz4kQZ— Rematch (@PlayRematch) June 20, 2025
Rematch’s data on SteamDB showed that 92,841 people were playing Rematch concurrently on Steam alone on June 19. As I write this, over 54,000 people are playing Rematch on Steam. That’s a strong start for the launch window of a new multiplayer game. Comparitively, Remedy Entertainment’s recently released co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak only peaked at 1,992 concurrent players, according to SteamDB.
