XDefiant launched to big player numbers, but now its devs are struggling to keep players around
Ubisoft ’s big Call of Duty-like FPS, XDefiant, might only have until Season 3 to turn things around, increase its player count, and start making more money or the publisher could end post-launch updates and effectively kill the FPS. Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, XDefiant finally launched in May for consoles and PC following numerous delays and a well-received beta.
It’s reported that the game has been struggling to reach 20,000 concurrent players across all platforms. Another source told Insider Gaming that Ubisoft “would probably be happy” with that number, which seems to imply that the current number of players is even lower. Due to the low player count and Ubisoft’s deadlines and concerns, some within Ubisoft San Fran are worried about layoffs. The publisher already laid off some San Fran employees earlier this month.
