XDefiant is a hit but had major technical issues. To thank players for their patience, Ubisoft has decided to extend the beta.
XDefiant, Ubisoft’s new competitive FPS, is currently in its first major beta testing phase. Thousands of gamers break their hair on consoles and PC and can test the limits of this direct competitor to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Overwatch 2 and Co Appreciation. If the success is there and Ubisoft is happy about the first feedback, not everything went according to plan.
XDefiant extends its beta, here is the new date
requires beta phase, the game is still quite unstable. XDefiant even had to be patched several times to ensure the maintenance of its servers. For a few days, the FPS was unavailable even on consoles. In particular because of these many hiccups, producer Mark Rubin spoke a few days ago announcing that he would be discussing with the teams responsible for the game to extend the beta by a few days. Ubisoft has therefore ended up digging and the good news has just fallen.
the beta of XDefiant will be extended by 48 hours and will now end on April 25 instead of April 23 as originally planned.
A very promising free-to-play FPS
So you still have a few days to enjoy the game and much of its content planned for launch. XDefiant promises to be very generous once it’s released by offering no less than 14 different maps, more than twenty weapons, around forty accessories, tons of gadgets, and a bunch of free and paid cosmetics. As a reminder XDefiant offers players the opportunity to compete in different objective game modes (in normal or competitive games) by impersonating characters straight from various outstanding Ubisoft licenses. We find, for example, the infantrymen of Libertad (FarCry 6), the Phantoms of Ghost Recon or the small group DeadSec (Watch Dogs). XDefiant is a determined arcade FPS with instantaneous handling and adds a touch of tactics by relying on a skill system that will be able to start in battle (and change on the fly). A now classic recipe in 2023, but very effective.
XDefiant is expected to be free-to-play on consoles and PC later this year.
