XDefiant Still Has Some Issues
Ubisoft is indeed working hard to improve the game, but many issues still need to be acknowledged in the future. Recently, a player pointed out that the game’s netcode needs to be fixed as it is completely ruining the gaming experience.
Many players believe that Ubisoft rushed the game and that they should’ve taken more time to improve it. It’s not just the technical issues that are ruining the game; it’s also the hackers.
