XDefiant is one of the most anticipated shooters coming out this year, mostly because it’s made by former Call of Duty pros and devs, and promises features that fans of arcade shooters love.
Although the hype may not be as big due to so many delays, XDefiant will be released very soon. And to make sure everyone is ready to play the game, Ubisoft is allowing you to preload it. Since it’s a free-to-play game, there’s no harm in doing just that, so here’s how to preload XDefiant on all platforms.
When can I preload XDefiant?
XDefiant preloads become available on May 16 at 12pm CT, which is a few days before the global launch on May 21.
