XDefiant just posted a noteworthy statement on its official X handle, listing every significant date building up to May 21, 2024, at 10 am PT, the game’s official launch date. The official trailer, the beginning of the pre-load window, information about the Battle Pass, important hints and advice, and the pre-season episode have all been pre-scheduled by the team.

Mark the dates on your calendars! Soon, XDefiant’s official trailer and pre-load will be available

Players will have all the information they require before to the game’s official launch when launch week gets started. The official trailer’s release and the pre-load windows’ opening will be the initial lines of communication. Defiant will start the pre-load and release of the official launch trailer on May 16, 2024. Players can download and install the game during this pre-load period, providing them plenty of time to get ready for its official release, which happens six days later. All three platforms—PlayStation, Xbox Series X/S, and Ubisoft Connect PC—will have pre-loads available. 

In the current XDefiant All-Star Series event, sixteen of the top players in first-person shooters are competing for cash prizes. Four teams compete in 4v4 formats throughout the tournament; the qualifying round uses a best-of-five format. One day prior to the worldwide premiere, on May 20, 2024, the All-Star Series Finals will take place.

May 17, 2024, has been set aside for the Debrief Pre-season Episode, which will follow the formal announcement video. The Battle Pass trailer will be released the following day, on May 18, 2024. Players will gain valuable ideas and tactics that they can use to their advantage in battle on May 19, 2024.
