Rematch officially arrives on June 19 across all platforms, but you can jump into the action early if you want to get a head start.
Rematch is the latest game from Sifu developer Sloclap, but it’s fair to say that the two couldn’t be more different. Often described as Rocket League without cars, you control one member of a five-person team, with the aim of scoring more than your opponents in six-minute matches.
Just like the game that inspired it, it’s easy to pick up but tricky to fully master. So, if you want to get some valuable hours to hone your skills, here’s how you can play early and all of the other editions up for grabs.
How to play Rematch early
If you purchase either the Pro Edition or Elite Edition, you can play Rematch from June 16, rather than the full release date on June 19. This means you’ll have 72 hours to get some practice in before the rest of the world jumps in.
As you’d expect, it comes at a cost, with the upgraded versions costing $39.99 / £29.99 and $49.99 / £39.99, respectively. However, there’s also the Standard Edition, which is priced at just $29.99 / £19.99, but doesn’t include the early access.
The good news, though, is that each version also comes with a handful of additional extras and pre-order bonuses, which we’ve listed below.
All Rematch editions & pre-order bonuses
Standard Edition ($29.99 / £19.99)
- Rematch (game)
- Adopter Hat (pre-order bonus)
Pro Edition ($39.99 / £29.99)
- Rematch (game)
- 72 hours of early access
- Adopter Hat (pre-order bonus)
- Captain Pass Upgrade Ticket
- Blazon Player Background and Title
- Blazon Buckler Tank Top
- Blazon Pattern
- Blazon Jewel Set
Elite Edition ($49.99 / £39.99)
- Rematch (game)
- 72 hours of early access
- Adopter Hat (pre-order bonus)
- 2x Captain Pass Upgrade Ticket

It’s worth noting that early access for Rematch is now officially live, so if you don’t already have your copy of the Pro or Elite edition, you’ve missed the chance to secure the pre-order bonuses. However, there’s still time to pre-order the Standard Edition before June 19.
