Ubisoft is organizing cross-play tests for XDefiant

The French publisher's free arena shooter game is making some modest buzz. Indeed, Ubisoft prefers to keep it under wraps by conducting various tests away from prying eyes. This week, tests aimed at testing the cross-play functionality of the game will be held from February 16 to 20. The sessions will be held on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This version will give access to four game modes on 13 different maps. The map named Pueblito is located in Yara, the fictional tropical island of Far Cry 6.
