XDefiant Preload Now Live as Gamers Are Confused Why Game Won’t Work
In case you didn’t know, the XDefiant preload is now live on all platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC). However, games are wondering why the game won’t actually work.
Update (May 21): Those unable to matchmake or seeing error codes surface on launch day, you’re not the only one. Head on over here for the latest status updates.

Why Isn’t XDefiant Loading or Working?
It’s super simple: The game is only available as a preload, but the game client and servers won’t be up until May 21, which is when the game officially launches. You can check out the launch times for the different regions right here.
While we have about five days from today until launch, it seems Ubisoft is ramping up the marketing, as more info about the game has surfaced recently such as the server locations, and PC requirements and accessibility features too.
You can also check out the launch trailer released today as well, which showcases the different factions’ abilities.
XDefiant can be played officially on May 21 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Stay tuned for a ton of coverage of the shooter here on MP1st, as we’ve guides planned alongside developer interviews and more.
