Don’t want to be negative but Ubisoft suffocated this game before it even got a real chance. Great game developers, wrong studio. Hope these same devs devs reach out and try smth again excited to see what mark does.
@@quentinkaalekahi2216yes they are you fail to realize how small of a team they actually were and still every single map is better than bo6’s best map
I’ve found myself enjoying Xdefiant way more than COD these last few days, everything feels so fresh, makes me wonder if ubisoft wasn’t under control of this game if it would’ve been more successful
Man I'm sad about this. This was such a chill game. This was the first fps game in a while that I liked and found fun where I could chill n listen to music without having to sweat like cod all the time
Some billionaire rich person needs to just come in and buyout XDefiant and just let the devs do their thing. That all I can hope for. Keep it alive, and pay the devs
See unfortunately this would be the worst game to attempt that with, because if you buy this game's IP you also have to buy all.the one's attached to it through the content. You'd have to start from scratch pretty much the maps, factions, ect. to avoid that.
I intend to enjoy XDefiant as much as possible before it's gone... Being realistic, the best we can hope for now is Ubisoft deciding to keep the game servers up beyond June 3rd along with allowing new players to download and join!
Game had so much potential there’s not one map in the game I don’t like they really nailed the design and aesthetic. It’s so sad to see the plug pulled on it, I hope we can revive it somehow
@@davidryan5146 it's numerous reasons mentioned by Ubisoft and Mark,player count and no profit are the main reasons,but those reasons are why the player count was low,cs of bad hit reg and bunnies all over the place,not to mention the curving and phantom bullets
The ironic thing is all of this content seems so cool, its like now I actually want to play the game. I think if they wanted to be successful they should have waited to launch the game until they had all of this stuff ready then dropped the game with most of it. Like I remember thinking when the game had been out for a few weeks "aw man I can't wait to play as the Assassin faction" only to find out it wouldn't be out for over a year and at that point its like yeah you're gonna lose my interest by then.
That update video they released was so strange. The voice over is obviously from before the game was about to be cancelled, so it kept saying "our first" or "in future updates." Couldn't they have trimmed stuff like that out or done retakes or is Ubisoft THAT starved for money right now?
I am legitimately sad XD is shutting down. Playing today after the update just further depressed me by showing “what could have been”. I have IMMENSELY enjoyed my time w XD and to see so much awesome stuff added, knowing it’ll all be erased in 5.5 months is heartbreaking. Seeing all of the mastery stuff unlocked was kind of demoralizing. Gives off that “well what does it matter anymore, go ahead take it…” type vibe. Knowing the devs cared about the game and seeing the potential it had, all to be boiled down to a 5 month romp in a closing store.
Played the open beta when that was around and enjoyed it but just never felt the draw to go back. Sad to see it go but also have such respect for the devs to just get everything playable out there to the world to give it one last hurrah. maybe with some luck people can get custom servers functioning down the line but even that will likely be years away and of course PC only...
I’ve been saying for a while. Bring back the old franchises this is the perfect time! Medal of Honor, SOCOM, Killzone… I’m sure there are others as well. All of these franchises can make a splash in this industry.
the dumbest thing is they took it away from people who already had it. I had it in my library on ps5 but had to delete it to make room and it’s not even in my library anymore.
I still think this game has a chance to survive. With all the issues modern CoD games have had, XDefiant has a chance to be fantastic if the devs actually put out more content. With all these new weapons, modes, maps, etc etc... I'm sure there will be a decent amount of returning players. I don't see why they're going to fully shut down the game. I hope something comes of it instead of just shutting down. Had way more fun with this than most modern CoDs...
im an andult, who plays games for fun, mostly FPS ones. And all the time I was stunned bu how many shitty microtransactions were thrown in me face, things I didnt want. Thing hidden behind the grind. And stuff got boring really fast. The gameplay was really good (nothing innovative) but still tons of fun. With this last update I think they just got us everything they're planning to realase.
The game in its current state is in an amazing state and should have deserved a chance, the fact that ubisoft sunset the game 2 weeks before season 3s release is absurd
I was telling my friends on cod last night that these companies need to stop targeting the “competitive” scene and just create a good arcade style shooter. A game that focuses on team death match, domination, search and destroy, and other major modes. This is what we the players want is a proper competitor to CoD. I loved xDefiant though. I thought it was a good change of pace. Maybe without supers it would have done even better
man I uninstalled it cuz they said no more content updates and finally they added everything that was suppose to be in the game might have to redownload it
I'd like to start by saying that, I am not a game developer, I don't exactly know how things work inside the industry, and this will probably seem like an arm-chair developer moment, but I just wanna say my opinion on this as a consumer who did play this game when the shut-down wasn't announced yet, so I suppose take this with a grain of salt. With that being said, this update is a tad bit confusing for me. I understand that pacing yourself and having plans for the future is good, but the biggest criticism everyone had of this game was lack of content, and then after they unfortunately had their plans shut, suddenly they have all these promised features that would come over the course of more than half a year arrive in one update. Now, I obviously assumed that with the shut-down announced, they really stepped on the gas on development to give the game this final goodbye, but the news got announced like 2 or 3 weeks ago, and they magically made 16 maps, prestiege, and new game modes in that time? I can only assume that a lot of this content was close to, if not already finished and good to ship, yet they chose, or perhaps were forced to, do the dripfeed content, where all the game had were promises instead of tangible stuff. I feel like it would have been better for them to put their efforts to release a lot of content to prevent the death of the game instead of doing a send-off update, but as I said, probably some indoors stuff going on that didn't allow them to propperly manage this game, or maybe it genuinely just got mismanaged. Regardless, it is very sad to see this, lay off are never good, and on top of that, even less competition for fps games that are like cod, I wish this game could have managed to stay afloat for years and years
proper shame to see this game get shut down, the industry needs a new FPS to rival CoD or at least pressure them into putting more effort into their games, same with fifa and some other genres - we've seen poor progress with some of these games due to the lack of competition
Yeah, something I learned is that CC doesn't determine how good a game is. People who truly bashed this game were most likely waiting for it to Be a cod killer. The UA-camrs who overhyped this game were the reason it died. It's sad I really enjoyed playing this game. Oh and also Ubisoftt they wouldn't even know if something was good, even if it was thrown at them in the face. They killed AC and They killed Xdefiant.
someone else has to buy this up because what the actual fuck do you mean 13 maps,7 guns and 3 factions all in one update, i will never forgive ubisoft for this and im happy they’re going under
@Kendog there's no way in their right minds they would sit and watch the game die because of a lack of content meanwhile they have 6 seasons worth of stuff lined up that's bs
You guys need to petition to keep Xdefiant alive and for they're to be more seasons , this game is actually high quality and way better than BO6 COD IMHO it's a beautiful game.
I had so much fun in the beta,thought this was going to be an amazing ride but i didnt like it at launch and months after,not a cod guy but having fun in bo6
The Game was and is great, it just needed some time to get started. Ubisoft isn't just killing xDefiant, they are killing them selfe with bad decisions and pulling down good Gamedefs with them.
Ubisoft collateral damage due to their recent years streak of L after L after L. They kept blowing money with failed titles and failed projects, because they convinced themselves that the "modern gamer" woke agenda was actually a multi-billion dollar market. All the while their stock prices kept plummeting to the ground. XDefiant dying is basically Ubisoft trying to save face in the eyes of investors given that it didn't have massive amounts of concurring players. So it wasn't reeling in millions and millions of dollars in micro transactions every day like COD does
1). Yes it didnt make enough money to justify pumping more resources into it. 2). Low player count. 3).(which should really be one) Ubisoft is crashing and it's crashing hard
With a better publisher company, It wouldn't surprise me if Xdefiant would've succeeded. Timing is also a factor and they unfortunately had HUGE competition in the following months after launch
The last bit of cope in holding on to is Ubisoft will get bought out by literally anyone with better judgement then them this could be a great purchase for playstation after Xbox got Activision
It is said to see it go!! MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE IT HAD NOT HARDCORE MODE??? LOL EITHER WAY IT WILL BE MISSED. IT WAS GOOD TO TAKE A COD BREAK FROM TIME TO TIME.
I wish there was something we can do to make this game stick around. I will miss it. I'm sad to see it go. I'll ask again what can we do to make it like Fortnite so it stays around?? This sucks.
so..... they had the Assassins Creed faction just sitting there?! that should've been the first drop. so sad that they had ALL of this waiting in the wings. but again, classic Ubisoft fumbling the bag.
I don't get why they had to shut it down, it had potential if the playerbase was cleaned up of some of the toxicity and lack of participation that was gradually bleeding into it

It's always the trash talking the most 🙄
This update just proves how badly ubisoft miss managed x defiant

The end is near for Ubisoft as the family who owns the company are refusing to step away from the company RIP ubisoft
This was a truly good one! Thank you.
