Sloclap has taken it upon themselves to make a football game that takes us back to the glory days of arcade-style sports titles with Rematch. This is a fast-paced multiplayer game that’s easy to get into but has plenty of depth to sink your cleats into.

Rematch Controller Support on PC

Rematch has native support for PlayStation and Xbox controllers on PC. Both controllers show correct button prompts as well.

How to Fix Rematch Controller Issues

If you’re running into any controller issues while playing Rematch, I recommend disabling Steam Input because the developers have set up dedicated profiles for each controller type.

  • Make sure Rematch isn’t running.
  • Open Steam and navigate to your library.
  • Here, right-click on Rematch and select Properties.
  • In the Controller tab, select the Disable Steam Input option under Override for Rematch.

You can’t rebind controls in the beta release of Rematch, but remapping is an upcoming feature, and it should be available when the full game launches later next month.
