Ubisoft’s latest shooter, XDefiant, is making a bold move into the fiercely competitive free-to-play market. As a third-party studio that rarely releases platform-exclusive games, Ubisoft recognizes the importance of cross-platform support for a multiplayer shooter like XDefiant to thrive. Fortunately, players can rest assured that XDefiant offers full cross-play functionality between PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5. This seamless connectivity allows friends and players from different platforms to join forces and experience the game together without any barriers. Additionally, XDefiant offers the option to disable cross-play, catering to those who prefer to compete solely within their own console ecosystem. In a future update, console players will gain the ability to exclude PC players from cross-play, addressing potential concerns over advantages that keyboard and mouse users may have over controller users. XDefiant also boasts cross-progression functionality, enabling players to seamlessly transfer their progress between platforms. By linking their Ubisoft account to their PSN or Xbox account, players can maintain their in-game progress and achievements regardless of the platform they choose to play on. This feature enhances the overall gaming experience, allowing players to enjoy XDefiant on their preferred platform without losing their hard-earned progress or starting over from scratch.
