The creative director of competitive multiplayer game, Rematch, has revealed that developer SloClap never considered making the game free-to-play, noting the most important thing is to “make a very good game.”
Speaking with PCGamer, Pierre Tarno revealed that “I never considered free-to-play” despite expectations, which may originate from Rematch being “an online game with a competitive edge [so] it should be free to play, otherwise it’s dead on arrival.”
However, Tarno added that “one of the things I love about making games is that there is no secret formula or anything, but the best way — or maybe the only way — to make a commercial success is just to make a very good game.”

We like challenging gameplay, and gamers are a very discerning audience. They are often very analytical, very precise in their assessment of mechanics and what worlds, what doesn’t, what’s balanced, what’s not balanced.
Rematch was released for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S on June 19, 2025.
