Turns out 'Rocket League without cars' is a good idea: Rematch beta test from Sifu devs flies past 150k players on Steam, suggesting Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 publisher could have another hit on its hands

Rematch, an unexpected 5v5 sports game from Sifu and Absolver developer Slowclap, is in the middle of its final beta test, and it's been an especially big hit on Steam. The previous beta capped out at around 133k concurrent users on Steam alone, but the final beta is sitting at 158,554 at the moment – with plenty of time to climb higher – according to SteamDB.

The final Rematch beta is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X, though we don't have SteamDB-grade access to those platform figures, and it generally seems more open than previous playtests. That fact surely contributed to the beta's jump in popularity, but it's clear that players are coming back for the game itself too.
