Game Pass Gets Another Day-One New Release With 5v5 Soccer Game Rematch This June

Game Pass Ultimate subscribers got some big news, as it was confirmed that both The Alters and Rematch are coming to the service at launch, both arriving in June.

The Alters, an ambitious survival game, hits Game Pass on June 13, with Sifu developer Sloclap's soccer game Rematch debuts on Game Pass on June 19. It's also coming to PS5 and PC.

Rematch separates itself from other soccer/football games in that players do not control an entire team but instead just one person on a five-person side. The game uses a third-person camera and is set 40 years into the future. There's no offsides or fouls, and the ball never goes out of play because matches take place inside a cage. Check out the trailer above to see the game in action.

For lots more, be sure to check out GameSpot's recent hands-on Rematch preview. A beta test will be held this month beginning on PC and then extending to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Anyone who preorders Rematch gets guaranteed access to a closed beta, but you can register for the public beta here.

All of Microsoft's own new game releases debut on Game Pass for Ultimate subscribers, and select third-party games do as well, like The Alters and Rematch.

June could be a major month for Xbox, as the company's Xbox Games Showcase is schedule for Sunday, June 8, with an Outer Worlds 2 Direct slated to begin immediately after.
