Ubisoft has officially launched the closed beta session for XDefiant, their upcoming free-to-play shooter title that brings their various series together into one game. Even though the beta is live now, they are welcoming players to head over to the game’s website to sign up to hop in the action while it is active until April 23rd. Crossplay will be enabled for the Closed Beta, so there’s nothing holding back the squad from a new game session!

The closed beta will introduce players to the XDefiant arena, including features that will be available at launch: 

• All 14 maps that will be available at launch

• 4 Ubisoft franchise-inspired factions 

• 24 weapons 

• 44 attachments 

• 5 explosive devices 

Players can experience playing as one of four Ubisoft franchise-inspired factions: The Cleaners (The Division), Libertad (Far Cry 6), Echelon (Splinter Cell), and Phantoms (Ghost Recon Phantoms). Each faction includes three characters, but only one will be unlocked from each faction. The others are unlockable through missions. Also, while players will not be able to keep their progression at launch, they will be able to keep up to 10 exclusive cosmetic items at release. 

XDefiant will be launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The closed beta is now live on all platforms until April 23rd. Will you be seeing which faction is truly the most skilled during the closed beta?
