For those wondering how to play the XDefiant Beta on PS5, don’t worry. You’ve come to the right place.

The XDefiant Beta started April 13 and will last for ten days until April 23. During that time players can sign up to try out the brand new Ubisoft FPS. The Beta version is made all the more exciting by the fact that at the time of writing there is no confirmed release date for the full game, meaning this could be the only taste of the game players get for a while. But how do you get access?

Let’s get into it.

How to get access to XDefiant Beta for PS5

Fortunately, getting a shot at access to the XDefiant Beta for PS5 is an easy process.

  1. Head to the Xdefiant register page.
  2. Sign in or create an Ubisoft account.
  3. Select the play platform.
  4. Then wait for the confirmation email.

If chosen you will receive an email with a code in it allowing access to the closed Beta. You will not be able to gain access without that code. If you do manage to get a code though – you may be wondering if you can play with other games. Head over to our investigation into if you can crossplay on XDefiant to check.

We wish you the best of luck getting that code! In the meantime, it might be worth checking out some of the best games to play on PS5 with keyboard and mouse to while away the wait for the code.

When does XDefiant Beta end on PS5?

The XDefiant Beta is set to end on April 23 after only ten days of being live. This is a very short period. Added to the fact that the release date of the full game is still unannounced the short Beta period is only adding to the general sense of mystery and excitement around the game. Furthermore, this is a completely new Ubisoft game. There are no previous versions or patches, like with the Cyberpunk 2077 ‘overdrive’ ray tracing update, which gamers can draw on to gain an idea of what to expect. If that’s left you curious waiting for the confirmation email – head over to our XDefiant gameplay preview to scratch the itch.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this so make sure to pop back in periodically to stay up-to-date on all the latest.
