I hate when people misspell XDefinite.

After Ubisoft finally, recently came to the party with a release date for its preseason, the free-to-play arena FPS, XDefiant, is finally out.

It’s been a tumultuous road with a few delays, but those keen to get stuck into some fast-paced multiplayer shooting with factions based on some iconic Ubisoft properties can now do so across PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Starting with this launch, XDefiant will run a six-week preseason and then begin its proper seasonal cadence, with Ubisoft having already shared a roadmap for the game’s debut year that will introduce new factions, maps, weapons, modes and more every season.
