The French publisher confirms the imminence of the release date: Ubisoft promises the reveal of the long-awaited day one of XDefiant “very soon”
Following the conclusion of the test session for the Xdefiantthe executive producer Mark Rubin promises that Ubisoft he will give us the expectation “very soon”. exit date. Naturally not without quibbles, since despite the “very promising” tests carried out with the servers there is still “a bit of work to do. All very direct adjustments to be made in the near future, if the team hasn't already thought of it.” In another tweet, Rubin metaphorically defined the netcode like “an old and slightly battered guitar, but well tuned” compared to the “new, but to be tuned” one which is the new netcode put to the test during the tests. There are three main problems left to solve, but other than that…
Let me give the key takeaway(s) from this last post. The Server Test Session went really well from a scale and server standpoint. We have some tuning to do. Pretty straight forward stuff that will be done very soon if not done already. And lastly release date coming very soon!

The release date of XDefiant could be close: Ubisoft guarantees
Specifically, what according to Ubisoft are the three main obstacles that stand between us and the release date of XDefiant are the Delta-01 errors which the game may have some latency issues, late feedback from health bars and above all a matchmaking “not aggressive enough.” The latter in fact caused “a higher ping than we would have liked” for participants, despite an improvement on the last day of the test. The San Francisco division of the development team will also address these issues shortly before and after launch. The title is in development for PC, Xbox Series X/S e PS5. There have been many postponements since the announcement three years ago, due to the “constant hunt for Call of Duty to add useless stuff to the detriment of the current build” according to insider Tom Henderson.
