XDefiant is Ubisoft’s upcoming shooter trying to dethrone Call of Duty as the king of the FPS genre. Players have been hopping into the XDefiant Open Beta for the first time, and getting to grips with the iconic factions and their unique abilities.

Are the XDefiant servers down?

On June 21, 2023, the developers have confirmed that the XDefiant servers are down, meaning players cannot currently log in.

Many players who have tried to load up XDefiant have been met with the FOXTROT-01 error. With the first day of the Open Beta arriving on June 21, the devs are hard at work trying to fix the issue.

This comes after updates that aimed to solve connection issues and progression bugs.

There is currently no word on how long the servers will be out of action, but the devs are actively working on getting them back online.

First off, I'm sorry for all of the different issues people are having with the servers. What has been described to me is that we are experiencing a "metric overload" with just so many people trying to play. We're hard at work on resolving and will let you know more when I can.
