Amid delays and rumors of development troubles for XDefiant, Ubisoft has announced a server test session for the competitive shooter. It starts on April 19th, 10 AM PT and runs till April 21st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. The pre-load is now available, with all players free to participate.

Stay tuned for more details and updates in the meantime. While it’s arriving first for current-gen consoles and PC, XDefiant will launch for Xbox One and PS4 later.
