XDefiant

XDefiant is a fast-paced, free-to-play competitive arena shooter that brings together characters and factions from various Ubisoft franchises like Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, and Tom Clancy's The Division. Players engage in objective-based combat across diverse maps, utilizing a combination of traditional gunplay and unique faction abilities that can turn the tide of a match.

The game emphasizes movement and skill-based shooting, intentionally avoiding the controversial skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in its casual playlists to capture the feeling of classic arcade shooters. With a high-energy tone and a focus on community feedback, it aims to provide a refined, competitive experience that rewards tactical cooperation and individual reflexes.

XDefiant is currently unplayable locally on Apple Silicon due to kernel-level anti-cheat requirements; cloud streaming is the only solution.
