Ubisoft’sXDefianthad a massively successful release with millions of players jumping in to try out the first-person arena shooter on launch day. But soon after, players started encountering several problems in the title that marred them from having a smooth gaming experience.
From technical problems to issues in gameplay,XDefiantfrustrated players more than it left an impact. The game still has issues that players reported on day one and they are now thinking that the game may have launched a little too soon.
XDefiant Is Still Plagued by Issues That Were In-Game on Day One
Fans have been complaining about some issues in the game since day one. This is despite Mark Rubin and Ubisoft trying to fix them with multipleXDefiantpatch updates, things are not looking good.

There are still some issues that have been lingering in the game and fans seem to have had enough. One of these problems is theNetcode that players have said that needs to be fixed completely.
This has caused players dying around the walls and some weapons are just too powerful for the game. Players are now giving up on the game and it may not be too long before half the player base does the same.
XDefiantplayer Sub5tep took to the game’s subreddit and shared a post titled,“I gave this game a Chance but I’m done.”They said that the game’s netcode needs complete fixing now and if not not done, the game will be dead soon.
The common issues that the player reported due to the Netcode is“getting hit by snipers because the flinch didn’t hit them or shooting 100 bullets into someone’s head without them doing any damage.”Ubisoft needs to hurry up with the fixes, if it indeed wants to give some competition toCall of Duty.
Did Ubisoft Launch the Game Too Soon?
The player said that the developer chose the“worst engine”for a first-person shooter and the“game is done.”They added that the game is burning and dying while the devs are on vacation. Fans have also alleged that seeing some things in the game, it seems like it was rushed.

Regardless of the issues, the game was in development for a good while that is considered sufficient for majority of the games. The game was revealed in 2021 and was slated to launch during Summer 2023. However, it was delayed and was scheduled to launch in October of the same year.
But it was delayed again with developer saying that there were“inconsistencies in the game experience.”It finally launched in May this year and fans expected it to be in the best possible. But after all the delays and being in development for around three years, it was still full of issues.
However, players have still stuck around to play the game but it may not last long the same. Ubisoft has to communicate with fans and bring fixes if it wants to keep the game alive. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments!
