\nXDefiant, the one-time Tom Clancy branded free-to-play shooter from Ubisoft, is holding another closed Insider test later this week, this one marking the first time cross-platform play will be available on consoles and PC.\n<\/p>\n

\nXDefiant – previously described as a 6v6 mash-up of Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division – was initially announced<\/a> as Tom Clancy’s XDefiant back in 2021. However, Ubisoft ultimately chose to drop the Tom Clancy branding<\/a> after fans criticised the game – and its sassy specialists – for straying too far from the franchise’s more serious military themes and formula.\n<\/p>\n

\nSince then, Ubisoft has quietly continued XDefiant’s development, occasionally opening the game up to registered “insiders” as it seeks to garner feedback from players. Its latest closed Insider session<\/a> runs from Thursday 16th February to Sunday 19th February (Monday 20th in the UK), and is the first to enable cross-play between PS5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC.\n<\/p>\n
