The XDefiant Server Test has been extended. It went live on April 19, 2024, at 10 am PT and was supposed to end on April 21, 2024, at 10 am PT. Now, the session will end six hours later. This means certain regions like India, which were supposed to see the testing stop on April 21, will now see it conclude on April 22.

This brief session is being conducted so that developers gain sufficient data to optimize their server performance at launch. However, due to the demands of the community, Ubisoft has gone ahead and extended the duration of this limited-time Public Test.

How to play XDefiant Server Test

If you have yet to give the XDefiant Server Test a go, you still have enough time to do so before its release. Here's how you can play the title:

  • Head over to your platform's respective storefront — Ubisoft Connect for PC, PlayStation for PS5, and Microsoft Store for Xbox Series S|X.
  • Use the search feature and type in "XDefiant - Server Test Session" without the quotation marks.
  • Simply begin the download, and after the installation, you can start playing.

That is all there is to it. Please note that the title is available for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S|X only. If you intend to play XDefiant on the PS4 or Xbox One, you are unfortunately out of luck.
