XDefiant preseason launch delayed after “inconsistencies”

And we don't know when it will take place as yet.

A planned XDefiant preseason launch has been postponed, seemingly indefinitely.

Ubisoft announced the delay on social media.

“Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent Public Test Session and continues to stand alongside us as we build XDefiant. The PTS once again showed us your appreciation for our fast-paced gunplay, uniquely crafted maps, objective-driven modes, and iconic Faction roster,” a post begins.

“But it also surfaced some inconsistencies in the game experience that we need to address prior to launching our Preseason. So we’ve made the hard decision to delay the Preseason of XDefiant.

“The team will continue working to address these issues and testing them to make sure we deliver on our goal of being a best-in-class arcade shooter. We will share more information about Preseason and testing as it comes.

“Thanks again for your support – we’re working hard to make something really special and we couldn’t do it without you.”

This delay comes after Ubisoft apologised for what it deemed “horrible” server performance back in April.

XDefiant is planned for release on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5.
