Amid delays and rumors of development troubles for XDefiant, Ubisoft has announced a server test session for the competitive shooter. It starts on April 19th, 10 AM PT and runs till April 21st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. The pre-load is now available, with all players free to participate.
Those who play the server test can net rewards for use in the game when it launches. Participating grants an MP5 Shamrock Weapon Skin, while playing in a party earns you an M9 Ember Weapon Skin. If you can reach level 18 during the test, then three Weapon XP Boosters are awarded.
XDefiant is without a release window, but the server test sessions will provide “critical information” to help the developer prepare for launch. Stay tuned for more details and updates in the meantime. While it’s arriving first for current-gen consoles and PC, XDefiant will launch for Xbox One and PS4 later.
