Ubisoft to Shut Down XDefiant in June 2025, Lay Off 177 Employees
Dec 3, 2024, 11:44 PM
Ubisoft has announced the discontinuation of its free-to-play shooter game, XDefiant, with servers set to close on June 3, 2025. The decision comes as part of a broader strategy that includes laying off 177 employees and the closure of Ubisoft's production studios in San Francisco and Osaka. XDefiant, which was intended to challenge the dominance of Call of Duty in the shooter genre, has failed to meet expectations, leading to this sunset process. The game's development was halted, and new downloads, player registrations, and in-game purchases have been disabled as of December 3, 2024.
