Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot in an interview published on the official Ubisoft website has announced the free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter, XDefiant, has surpassed 11 million players.
"Let's look at XDefiant," said Guillemot. "There's a lot of work to do, but it was able to attract 11 million players in a short time. And that number will increase with all the work done by the team to ensure Season One brings a lot more to the existing experience. It's about making the right choices and sticking to them."
XDefiant released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Ubisoft Connect on May 21.

Wow people actually play this game?
Better than that forgettable battle royale game lol
Depends if they class anyone that downloaded it as playing. I downloaded, not realising it was an Ubisoft game and so required an Ubisoft account (which I don't have) and deleted it.
It's odd Ubisoft are trying this style of game here, as surely Rainbow Six files their quota for PvP monetisation. Unless of course the 'Tom Clancy' name at the front doesn't give them as much revenue as they'd like.
SO true R6 is a bit too hard for me at times.
what battle royal game?
Surprising, but I can see they drawing a crowd when they add other factions, say with Templars from Assassins Creed. Its then what other franchises they can pull into the game. Rabbids wouldn't work, but they could maybe pull off Avatar or Anno.
