Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ubisoft's XDefiant is set to be a major entry in the first-person arena shooter genre, leveraging the publisher's recognizable properties into a fast-paced, competitive crossover. Originally revealed as Tom Clancy's XDefiant, the famed branding was later dropped following backlash, with the game hosting factions from Far Cry and Watch Dogs in addition to those pulled from Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division.
XDefiant went through a series of beta tests, including a public test session which led to a delay in release, ahead of its May 21 launch. Viewed in part as a Call of Duty competitor, XDefiant brings variety to its gameplay through five factions – Far Cry's Libertad, Ghost Recon's Phantoms, Splinter Cell's Echelon, The Division's Cleaners, and Watch Dogs' DedSec – each sporting their own unique abilities.
Every Platform You Can Play XDefiant On PC & Current-Gen Consoles Close XDefiant is playable on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, leaving players who still haven't transitioned from the PS4 and Xbox One behind. Abandoning last-gen is a move that Call of Duty has yet to make, though the teased Black Ops 6 could soon mark that new chapter for the monolithic franchise.
XDefiant Launch Times In Your Region Preload Available Now Close XDefiant's exact release times have been confirmed by the XDefiant X account, which can be seen in the table below. XDefiant is launching simultaneously in all regions for every platform, with exact times only adjusted for relevant time zones. For the Americas, XDefiant drops in the middle of the afternoon, while Europe arguably has the ideal launch time in the evening, when most will be off work.
For anyone keen to play the game immediately, it is possible to preload XDefiant on all platforms now. The game client has been available to download since May 16, and will unlock at the above listed times. Ubisoft seems fairly confident in XDefiant's potential, with resources towards its ongoing development one of the stated reasons for The Division Heartland being canceled.
