Hello XDefiant Fans,
I am unfortunately here today to announce that XDefiant will be shutting down.
Starting today (December 3, 2024), new downloads and player registrations will no longer be available. We will still release our Season 3 content in the near future (exact date TBD) and the servers will remain active until June 3, 2025.
For those who purchased the Ultimate Founder’s Pack, you’ll receive a full refund. Players who made any purchases within the last 30 days will also be fully refunded. Those refunds should happen automatically within 8 weeks of today and you can find more details on our official website, XDefiant.com.
A few years ago, Ubisoft and the SF Dev team embarked on a bold adventure to develop a new arcade shooter called XDefiant. It was from the start, an incredible challenge. Not only were we trying to shake up the genre by removing Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) while bringing back a more “old-school” arcade shooter experience, but we were also diving into the high-risk, high-reward realm of free-to-play. And for that I want to applaud not only the Dev team but also Ubisoft leadership for taking that chance!
Free-to-play, in particular, is a long journey. Many free-to-play games take a long time to find their footing and become profitable. It’s a long journey that Ubisoft and the teams working on the game were prepared to make until very recently. But unfortunately, the journey became too much to sensibly continue.
I am, of course, heartbroken to have to be writing this post. Yes, this game has been a personal passion for me for years and yes, I know that not all challenges lead to victory, but I also want to recognize all of the developers who are being affected by this closure. Each and every one of them is a real person with a real life separate from our own and they have all put so much of their own passion into making this game. And I hope that they can be proud of what they did achieve. I know that I will always be proud and grateful to have worked with such a great team! A team that really punched above its weight class.
And what they achieved is truly remarkable. The early response from players when XDefiant launched was amazing—we broke internal records for the fastest game to surpass 5 million users and in the end we had over 15 million players play our game! That is something to be extremely proud of, especially considering how tough this genre is. So, thank you to all of the developers who put their passion into making this game!
If there’s one thing, I hope we can all take away from this experience, it’s the importance of open, honest communication between developers and players. This “player-first” mentality along with respectful, non-toxic conversations between developers and players has been one of the standout differences that made XDefiant so special. From my very first post about XDefiant, this was the vision I wanted to champion, and I hope it leaves a positive mark on how the game industry treats its players and communities.
To our players, THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible community that has grown around XDefiant. Your passion, creativity, and dedication have inspired us every step of the way.
With the utmost of love and respect,
Mark

Amazing game👌 the last time i played a fps this fun was when apex first dropped.
I cant wait for release fingers crossed it's not too long 🙏
...incredibly humbling to hear all of your comments. Even when things were bad everyone kept positive. Even though we knew we were showing you a game with serious flaws, you still understood what we were trying to do and loved it. So thank you to everyone for being there for us!
UPDATE: We are extending the beta by 2 days so it now ends on Tuesday the 25th! So the Beta hasn't gone the way we wanted it to in most ways but in one way it has exceeded our expectations far beyond what we expected and that's the reaction from you guys! It's been...
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone for bearing with us on an early Ranked test. This is how we’ve been developing the game. We bring players in to see the game in an early state with all the ugliness and issues open to be seen.
@dyalnmedlock96 Ugh, I'll chat with the team. They are hard at work on the loadout saves fix first but I'm hoping we can get this bug fixed asap as well.
RANKED Coming tomorrow at 10am PST! So the current "Play" button will be locked and the "Ranked Play" button will be unlocked. What you will see is an early pre-alpha version of ranked. The icons are all temp, the tier names are temp, and the RP formula hasn't been tested on a...
...Offense and Defense. And the team that gets the furthest on Offense wins the match. Another difference is that it will be solo queue only for now. Our first iteration of ranked will really just focus on the basics and we will grow and evolve it over time. I hope you all enjoy!
UPDATE: We are still working on fixing the Loadout saving issue. We can fix it easily with a client patch but the amount of time it would take is too long to do, test, and clear through cert. Which is why we have been looking for a serverside workaround. Will keep updating.
