XDefiant is finally here, and the online shooter is facing quite a few servers at launch. Despite the game’s beta testing and final launch, players are unable to access game modes due to its server status. If this happens to you, here’s how you can check the server’s status.
Is XDefiant inferior?
Yes, XDefiant is down at the time of writing (2:01pm ET May 21, 2024). While players can log in to the game and start searching for a match, the lobby remains empty no matter how long you wait. As such, this appears to be some sort of server-side issue, without the servers being completely offline.
The game’s Unranked and Ranked modes seem to appear in the game, but won’t let players connect. This is a technical issue on Ubisoft’s end, and a fix will likely arrive in some time. Until then, the site is taking any other questions or complaints you may have with XDefiants.
In the meantime, once you’ve preloaded the game, restart the game and connect to a new match. Logging out and logging in again might help as well.
Checking XDefiant server status
You can check the status of the server by going to the XDefiant Support page. Here, you’ll be able to find the server status for each individual platform — PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. At the time of writing, the site reports that the servers are fine, but players are apparently unable to play a match.
This may be due to the fact that the servers are still technically online, even if there are issues preventing players from playing the game. We will update this post when we have more information.
