XDefiant is Ubisoft’s new exciting FPS game, but will you be able to run it? Here are the minimum and recommended PC requirements for XDefiant.

Things are heating up for XDefiant, as the devs gear up for their official release in Summer 2023, which was revealed during the Ubisoft Forward presentation along with the year one roadmap, which promises a heap of content for players.

XDefiant is a competitive FPS game with a variety of weapons to choose from, as well as Ubisoft-inspired Factions with different characters and abilities.

For those interested in either playing the beta or full release, you may want to know the minimum and recommended PC requirements for XDefiant to see if your system will be able to run it smoothly.

XDefiant game file size

Players will need at least 65 GB of free storage to download XDefiant according to the system requirements page on Ubisoft, so we expect the game to come in around that mark.

The XDefiant Open Beta is around 30 GB for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. As we get more information about the full game’s file size, we’ll be sure to update this section.

XDefiant minimum PC specs

Here are the minimum required PC specs for XDefiant:

On the Ubisoft website, the devs also recommend using the “low graphic preset” in the in-game settings if you’re system is on the lower end of PC hardware.

For those with more high-end hardware, here are the Ubisoft-recommended PC specs for XDefiant:

  • OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64bit versions)

  • DirectX: Versions 11 & 12

If you meet these specifications, then you will be able to run XDefiant without any issues. If your hardware is even more advanced than the specs above, you may also be able to boost the graphic settings and test your rig’s power.
