XDefiant fans, rejoice. The game is nearing its release date and an upcoming server test should help solidify it in place once and for all.
After several delays, XDefiant is back for another Server Test Session to stress the servers and help the development team iron out all of the kinks, fix any remaining bugs, and help the game reach its official launch sometime soon.
XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin said the test is to “melt the servers” and help ensure the game is ready for launch, so the developer wants as many players as possible to hop online over the weekend.
Here’s everything to know about the upcoming XDefiant Server Test, including all rewards that can be earned.
When is the XDefiant Server Test beta?
The XDefiant Server Test begins on April 19 at 12pm CT and will run until April 21 at 12pm CT. Here is a countdown until the test wraps up:
How to download the XDefiant Server Test beta
The XDefiant Server Test Session is available on PC via Ubisoft Connect, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is not currently available on PS4, Xbox One, or any other PC platform such as Steam or Epic Games.
To download the client, simply search for “XDefiant – Server Test Session” on Ubisoft Connect, the PlayStation Store, or the Xbox Store and download the game.
Ubisoft said that for PlayStation and Xbox, there may be different games or applications that also have the XDefiant name from previous tests. This new Server Test Session is its own game and application and is separate from previous installations.
“If you played an XDefiant test before and kept the game in your library, that is a different ‘product’ just called XDefiant,” the publisher said. “Keep it as it will eventually be the final launch product.”
