When Does XDefiant Release Fully?
XDefiant is set for a summer release in 2023 but the specific release date hasn’t been announced at the time of writing. The main release is likely to be before or during August — we are thinking that the game may launch in the middle half of July.

When the game actually does release, a pre-season will take place for a period of six weeks. This will let players get to grips with the game and gear up before the kick-off for Season One. Players won’t be short on content as there are to be three (yes three!) maps to be added at the start of every new Season up until Season Four. This includes getting new weapons added along with each season’s Battle Pass.
Playing the Open Session from June 21 will absolutely allow you to learn more about the game even before the official pre-season: be sure to sign up and check it out if you are interested.
