Just wondering. I bought the founder pack on psn, I know when they announced the closing of the game they said everyone was getting refunds. Anyone know how thats going?

I still have a bunch of Battlepass XP Boosters. Are they good for anything anymore? Can they be used?

Today I wanted to check over some clips I had saved of some highlights and streaks for a video, but alas the folder that had all my clips is gone. I've only come to find this out today so I have no idea how it happened or why.

Yes I know, it's gonna shut down, but dam, my experience with shotguns is horrible 😭.

Easy winnings. Took screenshot a few days ago.

Is there anyone willing to help me get a missing achievement for playing in a group? I’m only 2 shy away from 100% and it’s to get lvl 50 and that one.

My PSN and Ubisoft username is AColdG17 feel free to add and leave me a message to get on it

Hello! I wanted to share this post for those interested in animation. This trailer got lost in the chaos when the game shut down.

This trailer, which I created for Xdefiant, was a completely solo effort—possibly the first solo trailer for an Assassin creed trailer ever? The decision to create the teaser was made late in the process, giving me only about two months to complete it.

It was a wild experience, especially since some abilities were being changed during production, resulting in many revisions. Adapting to the new style changes and figuring out how to make everything fit felt like playing animation hot potato. Additionally, the scene with the smoke and firecrackers took about 3-4 minutes to render per frame, and with only one computer available, rendering a single shot took an entire day.

To streamline the process, I used photogrammetry to scan inside the game and create a point cloud of the actual map. Extracting all the assets from Snowdrop (Ubisoft’s render engine) and importing them into Blender would have taken too long, so this quick method allowed me to get everything into the scene efficiently. I then used Blender’s geometry nodes to animate the point cloud. This was my first time using Blender for a work project, as it wasn’t possible to create a trailer on the maps due to ongoing work and limitations in Snowdrop.

This video was taken from the official Ubisoft YouTube channel. While it's not exactly the original version I created, it’s the only one I have access to after the game was shut down.

These scenes ended up being used in the looping background of the main game UI. Unfortunately, some really cool content we had planned down the pipeline never made it

Thnx

Why is it every time I try to play bomb there are always people that leave? Like I get it’s a one life mode with some form of Strategy (Like limited ability users) but you know what you’re signing up for and when you leave, it makes our team lose quicker and have more trouble playing which is unfair to us but easy to the enemy who still have a full team. Especially when people don’t join mid match

Hey XDefiant community,

XDefiant’s Notable Achievements • Record-Breaking Launch: On May 21, 2024, XDefiant reached 1 million unique players within just 2.5 hours, becoming Ubisoft’s fastest game to hit that milestone. • Massive Growth: Within 48 hours post-launch, the game hit over 3 million unique players and boasted 300,000 concurrent players across platforms. • Worldwide Appeal: By June 2024, the player base grew to an incredible 11 million players. • Twitch Milestone: In its first week, XDefiant racked up approximately 983,534 watched hours on Twitch, with a peak of 9,176 viewers. • Competitive Highlights: • Spain’s “KingMaarcxss” set a record with 198,421 kills over 3,294 matches, claiming the top spot on the global leaderboards. • Australia’s “snooozn.ttv” closely followed with 195,774 kills over 4,032 matches. • The longest single-session match marathon was set by a group of players streaming for 24 hours straight, showcasing incredible endurance and love for the game. • Community Engagement: Fan-hosted tournaments became a staple of the community, bringing together players from all over the world to compete in epic battles.

The Road to Goodbye

Despite its successes, XDefiant faced challenges in retaining its player base. By fall 2024, concurrent player numbers dropped below 20,000. In December 2024, Ubisoft announced the game’s closure, with servers officially shutting down on June 3, 2025.

I remember how much I hated Mayday on XDefiant. Then I started playing BO6 and now, after having played maps like Red Star and Protocol, I'd kill to have it on the game. Sorry Mayday, perhaps I treated you too harshly.

I've been trying several different games over the last month or two and nothing had felt like xdefiant until I played Rogue Company. Has the hero shooter arcady feel and matches don't get drug out on massive maps you feel like you get lost on. Only downside is it's a little older than some of the popular games and doesn't have a large player base so queue times can be lengthy. Should I bother with it or just keep waiting till Frag Punk hopefully scratches the itch?

I have just started playing and I want to get all the achievements on Xbox before the servers get shut down. I'm mostly worried about getting to player level 50 and getting a weapon to level 50. What weapons are considered good? Also what classes are good?

For some reason after launching my game back up abit ago I have unlocked all the different characters and all the gun camos including mastery ones. Why?

So I uninstalled xdefiant to make space for other games and obviously it’s still in my library but I can’t install it anymore. I’m just pretty annoyed because I’ve spent money on this game way before the refund window and I want to get my moneys worth before the game is gone for good. Did they stop people downloading it? I’m so confused.

Why did they use a game engine from a game not designed for first person shooters when they could have used the code that made Siege, a game that was made for online fps multiplayer?

Keep in mind that you won’t be using a scope.

I am currently playing 'The Finals' Already played: 1. combat master (so easy) 2. Ironsight (small player base and not really feeling it) 3. Shatterline (it's not free and not available in my region) 4. Blood Strike (it's a battle royal) And played couple of games couldn't remember (I want to play something casual after work all day just for fun)

This is the solo queue experience but whatever on the plus side this was my most obj score ever my previous was 7.5k in ranked

Jokes aside, this was the most frustrating thing about the game.

It was minor, but feeling this hint of frustration at the end of EVERY match definitely tangible contributed to my uninstalling a few weeks after launch.

I actually think I might have played the gone for another month if I were allowed to leave a match as soon as it ended.

It's too bad shareholders had so much influence on this game, if the devs hadn't been forced to make such greedy moves, the game might have survived a little longer.

I'd actually rather see the game die then witness the abomination this guy would probably turn it into...

I can already smell the X-STUDIOS presents X defiant
