Whoa, okay, so here we go, diving headfirst into something really wild. Ever heard of Rematch? Well, this is your moment — especially if you’re one of those Xbox Insiders with the Series X|S or just chillin’ on your Windows PC. I mean, what even is an “Insider”? Sounds mysterious and cool, like a secret club. Side note: I always wanted to join a secret club as a kid, but all I found was a treehouse with a ‘No Adults Allowed’ sign. Anyway, sidetracked…
Today, May 28, is your lucky day to jump into the Rematch – Final Beta. But you gotta move fast. Spaces are limited — it’s like trying to grab a slice of pizza at a party before that one friend takes all the pepperoni ones. Yeah, you know the one.
Now, about the game. Rematch flips football on its head. Think third-person, skill-it-all-the-way kind of vibe. Every single tackle, dribble, and shot? Yeah, that’s all you, my friend. No fancy player stats here, just raw talent and teamwork. It’s like a game of backyard footie but with a bit of that arcade magic sprinkled in — you know, fast-paced and all that jazz. Easy to pick up like a harmonica, but tough to master like, I dunno, playing the harmonica really well. Oh, and if you’re curious (because who wouldn’t be?) just go nosing around their official site.
Did I mention playtest times? No? Okay, here they are, scribbled on the back of a napkin or something: Starts on Wednesday, May 28, at the crack of dawn (5 AM PT, whatever that translates to in your head), and wraps up on Saturday, May 31. Hope you’re not sleeping in that morning!
To get in on all this, just boot up your Xbox Series X|S or your trusty PC, and head into that magical Xbox Insider Hub app — or download it if you skipped that step, no judgment. Navigate to Previews, find Rematch Beta, and bam, you’re off! Just don’t panic if it takes a minute. Patience is a virtue, or something my grandma used to say.
Few quick notes (or maybe long-winded ramblings, depending on my mood) — space is tight; first-come, first-serve, like I said. And yeah, this is strictly for Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. Sorry, if you’re rocking any ancient tech, but hey, time for an upgrade?
Got issues while playing? Other than getting schooled by a 12-year-old online, I mean. Use the “Report a problem” feature. Trust me, they want to hear it — helps them make stuff better. Just hold the home button on your Xbox controller and report away. Fill it out like you’re letting out all your gaming frustrations, one keystroke at a time.
Oh! Almost forgot — searching for the latest hot gossip or need the 411? Follow Xbox Insider on what used to be Twitter, now called X (because why not make things more confusing, right?). Join in on all those conversations happening in the Xbox Insider SubReddit.
And, I think that’s it. Or maybe there was more? Meh, can’t remember. Go play, have fun, and maybe report back to me if you find that secret club…
