XDefiant's launch has been a mess with players and streamers spending a lot of time waiting in menus

After years of marketing, delays, betas, and name changes, XDefiant from Ubisoft is finally here and...things aren’t going very well. Players are currently unable to find matches as the game’s servers can’t seem to cope with the large influx of people. XDefiant—out now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC—is Ubisoft ’s big-budget free-to-play Call of Duty-like first-person online shooter. The FPS has had a long road to release.

And even players who do get into matches have reported long waits to get into another. At 1:30 pm EST, the official XDefiant Twitter account posted that it was aware that “some players are unable to join a game” and asked folks to wait as the devs looked into the situation. At 2:55 pm EST, the account offered an update, saying that things were improving but that it was continuing to work on making sure everyone could get in and play the FPS.
