![]() ![]() ![]() A Ubisoft rep told me that as of this writing, XDefiant will only be on PC via the Ubisoft Connect store. When it does release, XDefiant is coming to both PC and consoles with crossplay support "expected" on day one. Once you’ve installed the 28 GB file, open the XDefiant Open Session app to start playing. Sign up at XDefiant's official site for a chance to play the PC-exclusive test build starting Aug 5. Simply navigate to the Xbox store, search for XDefiant, and download the XDefiant Open Session client. XDefiant is making waves in the FPS community with its closed beta, allowing players to get familiar with the weapons, Factions, maps, and modes before Ubisoft reveal an official release date for the future free-to-play shooter. Ubisoft isn't ready to say when XDefiant is releasing widely, but the first playable test will kick off in just a few weeks. This is likely an intentional move to avoid confusion with what are two very different types of FPS, though this is the closest that Ubisoft has come to competing with itself in a while. Despite Rainbow Six Siege's expansive pool of 60 operators and gadgets, the XDefiant reveal makes no mention of it at all. ![]() You’ll need a Ubisoft account to do this, so make sure you have the information handy if you already have one. You might have noticed one obvious Clancy faction curiously missing from XDefiant's roster: Rainbow Six. Sign into your Ubisoft account Download the game via your chosen platform’s store page (Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, or Ubisoft Connect for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC respectively) Servers will come online at the start times above You can check out the full XDefiant PC Specs here. So, if you want a chance to play the closed XDefiant test, you need to sign up online first. It's unclear exactly how flexible these loadouts will be, but Ubi said each class will have several abilities to choose from. Given that everyone appears to share similar health pools and gun options, the setup seems closer to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and 4's operators, who could occasionally pull out a super weapon. So it's not quite a hero shooter, but Ubi does plan to expand its roster with more factions (including more Tom Clancy crossovers and "beyond"). ![]()
