XDefiant Y1S0.2 patch notes

Crossplay and matchmaking get revamped

One of the most notable changes in this patch is a new display feature for Crossplay settings within parties, alongside crucial matchmaking fixes. Previously, players with differing Crossplay settings often faced difficulties while matchmaking, leading to frustration and inefficiencies.

The update now ensures that the most restrictive Crossplay setting among party members is displayed and applied to the entire party, resolving the issue where party members with different Crossplay settings couldn’t match up against each other. This change promises a more seamless and unified matchmaking experience for mixed-platform parties, enhancing the overall efficiency of joining matches with friends across various platforms.

Protection from PS5 exploits and security improvements

An exploit on the PS5, where players could access areas they shouldn’t via PS5 Activities, has been addressed. This fix is crucial for maintaining the intended game balance and preventing players from gaining unfair advantages. By closing this loophole, XDefiant ensures that gameplay remains fair and competitive, preserving the integrity of the gaming experience for all players.

The patch also includes various security improvements. While the specifics of these updates are not detailed, they are essential for maintaining a safe and secure gaming environment. These enhancements protect players from potential threats and ensure fair play, reinforcing Ubisoft’s commitment to providing a secure and enjoyable experience for the entire XDefiant community.

Social

• Fixed an issue with displaying incorrect player names on some Social screens.
• Fixed a crash caused by spamming open/close View Party Invites, but who would even do that, calm down.
