Ubisoft’s response to CoD: XDefiant has more than 1 million players in its beta

It turns out that Ubisoft’s next shooter, X resistdoing pretty well, as more than 1 million players participated in the closed beta.

While the closed beta may end today (April 23), it doesn’t sound like XDefiant (a shooter previously planned to be part of the Tom Clancy series) isn’t doing too badly on its own. Earlier this week, the official Twitter account shared that more than 1 million players had participated in the closed beta. “Thank you to everyone who played the closed beta!” read the tweet. “Your feedback has been very helpful and we’re happy to hear from over 1 million players!”

Player numbers may be looking for Ubisoft’s next shooter, but that doesn’t mean it’s capable of staying around for long. Kelsey, who started playing the game last week, praised the shootout but wasn’t sure why it was worth returning to, writing, “During my time with the game, I didn’t find anything particularly sticky to see I long to get back to that point of it. It feels like another live service shooter, and while I can admire what Ubisoft has done with this game, I really find myself thinking I wish Ubisoft would do something we didn’t Doing” has been seen a dozen times before. ”

Dubbed a fast-paced 6v6 shooter, the game is set to debut in 2021 following leaks and various teasers. Similar to games like Overwatch 2 and Team Fortress 2, you can join different factions with unique skill sets, all inspired by different Ubisoft games (although most of them are still Tom Clancy games) . Factions like the Phantoms and Cleaners were inspired by games like Ghost Recon and The Division respectively, but there’s also the DedSec faction, which does bring hackers from Watch Dogs.

XDefiant doesn’t currently have a release date, but is planned for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
