It’s coming to PC and consoles when ready, but you can dive in early by registering for the XDefiant closed beta. Below, we’ll explain how to sign up for the XDefiant beta on all platforms.

What if I’m not in the US or Canada?
Ubisoft promises that more XDefiant betas are planned, but not until after the initial August 5 test. You can still register and you’ll be contacted via email as soon as you’re invited to a test in your region.
How to play the XDefiant beta with friends
As with many other Ubisoft early tests, the XDefiant beta will allow you to invite friends to join you. Any accepted players will be able to send invites to five friends on their Ubisoft Connect account.
That’s all we know about how to join the XDefiant closed beta. US and Canada fans can enjoy an early test, but be sure to register elsewhere for your first shot at and in the game.
