Ubisoft’s eagerly anticipated free-to-play shooter, XDefiant, has hit a roadblock on its launch day due to widespread server and matchmaking issues. Players have been unable to access multiplayer servers or have encountered long queues and error messages when attempting to join matches.
The official XDefiant Twitter account acknowledged the problems and stated that they were being investigated. Executive producer Mark Rubin confirmed that the matchmaking servers had encountered difficulties and assured players that the team was actively working on a solution.
Server issues are not uncommon during the launch of large-scale multiplayer games, but they have been a source of disappointment for XDefiant players who were eager to delve into the online action. The game was originally scheduled to be part of Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy franchise but was later rebranded to feature maps and assets from other Ubisoft titles.
Despite undergoing numerous rounds of testing, XDefiant’s release was delayed at the last minute due to quality concerns identified by Microsoft and Sony. The developers have expressed their commitment to providing a stable and enjoyable gaming experience but have not yet provided an estimated time of resolution for the current issues.
