Developer Sloclap has released Patch 1.200.200 for Rematch on Steam Beta, addressing long-standing issues and improving gameplay mechanics. The multiplayer soccer action game, which launched to over a million players within 24 hours, has seen a sharp decline in its user base, losing around 85% of players in just over two months.
The new patch, scheduled for a full release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 18, focuses on enhancing the core gameplay loop rather than adding entirely new features. Sloclap has been working on fixing technical issues like tackles not registering correctly, goalkeepers’ saves being miscounted, and the ball teleporting unexpectedly. Achievements that previously failed to unlock have also been corrected, and the ball touch system has been reworked to make possession feel more natural.
Alongside gameplay fixes, Patch 1.200.200 introduces several quality-of-life improvements. Customization menus now properly reflect owned items, UI textures have been optimized, and new settings—like magnus sensitivity—have been added. Netcode improvements reduce lag during matches, and multiple crash issues, including ones that occurred during replays or freeplay, have been resolved. Goalkeeper animations have been enhanced to visibly show catches, and ball control has been refined to prevent unexpected warping during possession.
While this update mainly focuses on polishing the existing gameplay, Sloclap has confirmed that crossplay functionality is on the horizon, expected in a future update later in August. The studio has also shared a roadmap hinting at additional features and gameplay improvements for upcoming patches, ensuring players will have more content to look forward to.
