Ubisoft's XDefiant Struggles to Launch: Multiplayer Shooter Fans Disappointed

Highly Anticipated Release

Ubisoft, known for popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, recently released its latest multiplayer shooter, XDefiant. Fans had been eagerly awaiting the chance to play this new free-to-play game since its announcement in 2021.

A Unique Twist on Multiplayer Shooters

XDefiant offers a fresh take on the multiplayer shooter genre, allowing players to use characters from various Ubisoft franchises like Watch Dogs, Tom Clancy, and Far Cry. Early previews drew comparisons to Call of Duty but highlighted the game's unique character integration.

Launch Day Woes

On the launch day of XDefiant, May 21, 2024, many players encountered difficulties accessing the game. Server issues and long wait times frustrated eager gamers looking to try out the latest free offering from Ubisoft.

Current Status and Recommendations

As the initial hype around the release dies down, more players are successfully entering matches and enjoying the game. However, for those looking to guarantee a spot on a squad, it may be wise to wait a few more days for the player count to stabilize. Trying to play during off-peak hours could also improve your chances of getting into a game smoothly.

Availability

XDefiant is now available for free on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. For more gaming reviews and updates, be sure to check out our coverage of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
