Rematch’s Season 5 Hotfix 1.205.004 cuts standing tackle assist by 12% and fixes two ball collision bugs, goalkeeper rotation in 3v3, and several control-binding issues. Sloclap’s Steam notes for version 1.205.004 list October 2, 2026, as the release date.

The assist reduction follows a correction to Season 5’s Tackle Assist, which now tracks targets more closely based on player input. Sloclap says that fix lets the team tune the assist down slightly.

The hotfix follows the September 29 1.205.003 patch, which addressed goalkeeper dive controls and several Aura Striker problems. The new gameplay fixes target ball interactions after a Push Ball and during a backward dash in Defense Mode, along with role rotation in 3v3.

Other fixes cover missing tutorial and Goalkeeper Workshop menu highlights, a “Save 5 Shots” challenge that failed to progress for defenders, and several mapping problems. Controller players can now rebind Long Range Dive to another Modifier input, though the notes say it remains tied to Modifier at the implementation level while work continues on allowing any input.
