Players who were part of the closed beta will be the only ones to have access to all Factions without having to play the Ubisoft Connect DedSec challenge to unlock DedSec. If you want to play with this faction in the Open Session, you’ll have to earn 125,000 XP and claim it through your Ubisoft Connect account.
Does XDefiant support cross-progression?
Ubisoft stated that XDefiant will offer cross-progression within PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. In order to do so, gamers will need to link their Ubisoft account to their PSN or Xbox account.
Those who are playing the XDefiant Open Beta should be aware that any progression made won’t be carried into the full game experience; although players who unlock skins from the XDefiant Twitch Drops will be able to use them once the full game releases.
