![]() ![]() While those were largely resolved by the end of the Closed Beta, Rubin says the Open Session will be a much smoother experience. To fix the bug, the team had to reconfigure the servers used for the test, which led to some of the unexpected glitches and crashes players experienced. According to Rubin, the night before the Closed Beta went live, the team found a bug that could only happen live - it didn't present during any testing with bots, QA, or Microsoft and Sony's validations. Players should also notice improved server stability. There are caveats to any netcode, but we should see in the Open Session much less getting shot around corners, even if there's some ping differential between you and another player." "From what we've seen, a lot of those issues have been vastly improved, and one of the reasons we want to do this Open Session is to stress test the new netcode system before we go live. Rubin is hopeful the new netcode will fix the issue. One of the biggest changes from XDefiant's Closed Beta is its new netcode, which, according to Rubin, took top engineers over a year to create, and is a complete rework of how the server and client talk to each other and prioritize messaging.ĭuring the Closed Beta, some players found themselves getting shot from behind walls, or would die after running for cover behind a corner. The team behind XDefiant made several updates to the game after the Closed Beta to improve player experience and prepare for launch, and Ubisoft News caught up with Executive Producer Mark Rubin to learn more about some of the updates players can expect. Additionally, anyone who participated in April's Closed Beta will be able to participate in the Open Session's early access, starting today at 10:00AM PT. XDefiant’s Open Session will go live and be available for download on June 21 at 10:00AM PT. A Ubisoft rep told me that as of this writing, XDefiant will only be on PC via the Ubisoft Connect store.XDefiant is hosting an Open Session from June 21-23 for all players on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5, giving ALL interested players a chance to check out the free-to-play 6v6 arcade shooter ahead of its launch later this summer. When it does release, XDefiant is coming to both PC and consoles with crossplay support "expected" on day one. ![]() Sign up at XDefiant's official site for a chance to play the PC-exclusive test build starting Aug 5. Ubisoft isn't ready to say when XDefiant is releasing widely, but the first playable test will kick off in just a few weeks. This is likely an intentional move to avoid confusion with what are two very different types of FPS, though this is the closest that Ubisoft has come to competing with itself in a while. Despite Rainbow Six Siege's expansive pool of 60 operators and gadgets, the XDefiant reveal makes no mention of it at all. You might have noticed one obvious Clancy faction curiously missing from XDefiant's roster: Rainbow Six. ![]() It's unclear exactly how flexible these loadouts will be, but Ubi said each class will have several abilities to choose from. Given that everyone appears to share similar health pools and gun options, the setup seems closer to Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and 4's operators, who could occasionally pull out a super weapon. So it's not quite a hero shooter, but Ubi does plan to expand its roster with more factions (including more Tom Clancy crossovers and "beyond"). ![]()
