For those wondering how to play the recently released XDefiant Beta on Xbox, don’t worry. You’ve come to the right place.
The XDefiant Beta is out now and running for only ten days between April 13 to April 23. This is extremely exciting as there is still no release date confirmed for the full game so this could be the last some players see of the game in a while. Unfortunately, the closed beta has been off to a bit of a rocky start due to to XDefiant closed beta connection woes which saw some console players struggling to gain access. However, Ubisoft released an Xbox patch so the beta is back to full swing.
This all means very little if you’re unable to gain access, however, so let’s get into how to get access to XDefiant Beta on xbox.
How to get access to XDefiant Beta on Xbox
Fortunately, it’s an easy process to request a code. You won’t be able to play the game without an access code as XDefiant is still in its closed beta stage. To request one:
- Head over to XDefiant’s Registration Page on the Ubisoft website.
- Sign in or Create an Ubisoft Account.
- Select the platform you would like to play on, in this case Xbox.
- Wait for the confirmation email containing the code!
It’s that easy. Even more excitingly, XDefiant has crossplay enabled so if you get access you can play with other gamers.
