XDefiant public test begins on April 19 and lasts a whole weekend

Last month, Ubisoft confirmed yet another delay for its multiplayer FPS XDefiant. At the same time, the dev team mentioned the existence of a technical test to be held soon on consoles and PC.

According to Insider Gaming, such test will begin on April 19. Contrary to what was announced by the French publisher before, the test version will last not 12 hours, but the whole weekend. This means that everyone should be able to play until at least April 21, lest any major technical hitches.

Once the test has been completed, an official release date can be set, according to Insider Gaming. The demo will be available to PS5, Xbox Series and PC players.
