XDefiant price: How much does it cost?

Ubisoft's COD killer is generous.

XDefiant is shaping up to be the biggest and most important shooter of 2024, and Ubisoft’s FPS rival can make a huge statement with its price tag.

Taking Call of Duty head-on is no mean feat, but XDefiant is looking to remain defiant in its pursuit of first-person shooter superiority. For years, COD has fended off competitors in the genre, laying waste to other superstars such as Battlefield—and XDefiant is looking to disturb the equilibrium.

The cost of XDefiant could be a big factor in how successful the new IP ends up being and a contributor to its staying power.

XDefiant costs nothing at launch. It’s completely free-to-play, meaning anyone with an online connection and an applicable format can play XDefiant.

Unlike Activision Blizzard’s premium release price tags for annual Call of Duty releases, XDefiant has launched in an F2P state. You can play the shooter without spending a penny.

Does XDefiant have microtransactions?

Just because XDefiant is F2P, it doesn’t mean it’s free of microtransactions. After all, revenue has to come from somewhere, so while you don’t need to stump up any cash, the option to purchase cosmetics, bundles, and battle passes is available in the XDefiant store.
