XDefiant release date and time for all regions

Ubisoft has finally revealed the XDefiant release date and time for all platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This hero-based FPS title has hailed itself as a rival to Call of Duty. The game was first announced in 2021 and was slated to release in 2023, but it took an addition al year for developers to perfect and optimize it for a better player experience.

Ahead of the global launch, the devs have planned a series of reveals including the release of the official trailer, pre-load start date, Battle Pass details, essential tips and tricks, and the Pre-season Episode.

That said, this article aims to provide the precise XDefiant release date and time across all regions.
