Players can easily slide cancel in XDefiant by pressing the jump button after initiating the slide action while sprinting. Doing so instantly terminates the slide animation and makes their character leap into the air, boosting their speed briefly.

This mechanism of performing slide cancel action in XDefiant is the opposite of what Call of Duty Warzone and MW3 have. In those games, one needs to double-tap the slide button before jumping to stand again. So, anyone who's a CoD player and has just begun experiencing XDefiant will have to adjust.

For better convenience, here are the keys to help slide cancel in Ubisoft's free-to-play title on different supported devices:

PLATFORMS	SLIDE CANCEL METHOD
PlayStation 5	Circle + X
PC	Shift + Space
Xbox Series X/S	B + A

For better precision in this specific movement-based feature, players will have to keep repeating the action to master the mechanism. In short, they have to just start sprinting again as soon as their character hits the ground.

That's pretty much everything there is to know regarding how one can successfully execute slide cancel in XDefiant.
