as part of a roadmap update for the title. “We know there are things we need to improve like Netcode/Hitreg and adding more content to progression, but the game is doing well.

“We just want it to do better. And we do that by addressing the concerns of our community which has always been the plan.

“Ubisoft is very much behind us and has allocated more resources to the team in order for us to do that,” the post continued.

XDefiant was released in May for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. VGC’s XDefiant review called it “a confident shooter that’s far more than a Call of Duty knockoff”.

The game’s first season of live content launched in July. It introduced three new maps and Capture the Flag mode.

Ubisoft is planning to reveal XDefiant Season 2 later on Wednesday.
