To prepare yourself for what’s supposed to be the “CoD killer”, it’s best to get ahead withyour friendsand pre-load XDefiant. This can be a little confusing with all the time zones, which is why this guide will cover how to preload XDefiant.
There’s going to be a few steps before you go guns blazing with thebest weaponsin the game. The first and probably the most obvious is to downloadUbisoft’s launcher, Ubisoft Connect. Make sure you have an account as well. You can use your Xbox, Gmail, and other properties to gain access. Once that’s done, you have towait till May 16thto pre-load. The game will be available on your computer, but you won’t be able to play itXDefiant launches on May 21st.
For console users, you don’t have access to Ubisoft Connect. To pre-load head into therespective store and simply downloadit there. However, just like PC users, you’ll have to download it around eitherMay 16th or the 17th.
As mentioned, time zones can be confusing, and game developers most of the time have information based on where they are. This forces many to calculate what time it’ll be available for them. I have been in this situation many times before and have been left confused; sadly, XDefiant follows suit. But, don’t worry. I gotthe time zones for each regionbelow to help make sense of all of this.
XDefiant looks promising regarding itsSBMM, ranked, and casual modes. It could give CoD a run for its money.
