SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA— May 22, 2024 — Today, Ubisoft released the much-anticipated XDefiant, a free-to-play, fast-paced arcade shooter developed by Ubisoft San Francisco* and featuring factions inspired from some of Ubisoft’s beloved franchises. Players can download and play XDefiant for free from their PC via Ubisoft Connect, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. To download XDefiant, go to playxdefiant.com/download_pco .

• There are two Linear matches available, casting players in attacking or defending roles.
  • Zone Control has the attacking team working to secure five zones in a progression across the map, while defenders must fight to stop them.  
  • In Escort, the attacking team must bring a package to its final destination across the map, while the defenders attempt to stymie their progress and push the package back.
