Ubisoft’s latest shooter, XDefiant, has rapidly gained popularity, surpassing 11 million players since its preseason launch. This 6v6 arena shooter combines elements from various Ubisoft franchises, offering a unique mix of hero-shooter mechanics and fast-paced gameplay akin to Call of Duty.
Ubisoft CEO revealed this milestone in a recent interview. He emphasized that although the game has achieved early success, there’s much more to be done. The development team is focusing on enhancing the gameplay experience and engaging the community, especially with the upcoming launch of Season One on July 2, 2024.
However, player growth has slowed recently, and concurrent player numbers have started to decline. The team is hopeful that the new season will reinvigorate interest and bring players back. Ubisoft’s commitment to updating XDefiant and listening to player feedback is crucial for its long-term success. Whether it can maintain its player base and continue to grow will be a significant test for Ubisoft’s latest venture.
