Rematch crossplay remains a "top priority" as Sloclap speaks to the four pillars of future updates

Rematch remains a powerhouse, bringing in a vast variety of competitive multiplayer gamers and football fans alike. Inevitably, as with all live-service titles, there’s a hunger for new updates, with crossplay sitting comfortably as the feature in highest demand.

The good news is that crossplay remains the “top priority” for Slowclap, CEO Pierre Tarno told Eurogamer in an interview recently. Tarno acknowledged the long road the game has yet to walk, and highlighted four core pillars of gameplay overhauls the team intends to add in the near future.

“We were hoping to get it in for launch, it’s hard to do properly” stated Tarno, when asked about Crossplay coming to Rematch. “But there are also things like being able to team up at the end of a game or call for a rematch, being able to drop into friends’ squads and spectate their games. These kinds of things are going to be very important.”

Crossplay was highlighted as the number one “top priority”, according to Tarno. Though for Sloclap, important updates align with what Tarno describes as the four “core pillars” of Rematch: Social, core gameplay, competitive, and casual.

Crossplay falls into social, the ability to play with friends, with Tarno telling Eurogamer that Rematch “is fundamentally all about the joy of playing with friends.” It goes further than crossplay though! According to Tarno, the developer would like to add the ability to team up with teammates at the end of matches, ask for a rematch at the end of a game, and the options to jump into a friend’s game to play or spectate.
