XDefiant Dev Shoots Down Rumors of its Demise

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen games rise and fall like the tides. So when rumors started swirling about XDefiant potentially meeting its demise, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia for those games that had once been my go-to pastime, only to fade away into oblivion.


Ubisoft employees are pushing back against recent claims that the game XDefiant might be shutting down in the near future. A major report from earlier this month suggested that XDefiant’s future wasn’t looking promising. According to the report, those in charge at Ubisoft were disappointed with how XDefiant’s multiplayer shooter was performing and members of the development team were reportedly losing motivation. However, following the release of this report, Ubisoft is making it known that they are committed to supporting XDefiant for the time being.

On their latest blog post, Ubisoft shared updates for the upcoming seasons of XDefiant. The main focus of the blog was on Season 2, but they also hinted at planned enhancements for Seasons 3 and 4. Moreover, Ubisoft addressed recent concerns about the game’s health, assuring that XDefiant is thriving and has no risk of becoming obsolete or dying. Nevertheless, they acknowledged that there are certain aspects of the game that could be optimized for better performance.

“To set the record straight, let me clarify where we stand with the game. Despite some areas that require improvement such as Netcode/Hitreg and expanding content for progression, the game is thriving, not struggling. Our goal is to make it even better, and we achieve this by addressing the needs of our community. As always, Ubisoft remains supportive, providing additional resources to help us improve the game.

It’s exciting to know that XDefiant isn’t losing its backing, but it’s likely that the coming months might present challenges for the game. With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 due out in October, it’s expected to be a significant contender for Ubisoft’s title, which could lead to a dip in popularity for XDefiant. If this happens post-Black Ops 6 release, it wouldn’t be unusual if Ubisoft adjusts their future plans. For the time being, fans of XDefiant need not worry about the support abruptly stopping in the near future.
