What is the schedule of the XDefiant Open Session?
Available to Closed Beta Players:

Open Session is available to players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S.
PS5 – If you have the PS5 version of the client already downloaded, you’ll just need to update it to version 1.000.003 which is live already. This will be enough, and you’ll be able to jump in tomorrow once the servers are live.
Update: You can download the Open Session beta client for PS5 here: PSN US Link, PSN EU Link, Asia PSN Link.
Xbox Series X|S – Unfortunately, XDefiant Producer Mark Rubin has confirmed that Xbox gamers will need to download a new application for it. You can download the new client here.
PC: Those on PC who got in the closed beta, there’s an issue right now if you opted out of communications from Ubisoft in the settings. The devs are currently looking into it:
So part of the issue with PC players in particular not seeing the game for download if they were in the CB is that if you opt-ed out of communication from Ubi in the settings you weren’t getting approved for the early start. We are trying to resolve that.

Those who want to take part, download the Ubisoft Connect app and select the “Games” tab and under “My Games” choose “XDefiant.”
Update: For those on PC (and assuming you have the Ubisoft Connect app downloaded) you should be able to open the beta page and download the client by this link: https://register.ubisoft.com/XDefiant-opensession
Note that preload is live on all platforms as we speak.
