The launch of XDefiant is already off the rails as a massive number of players are struggling to find matches through matchmaking on May 21, prompting an early response from the team at Ubisoft.
Across several platforms like Discord, Twitter/X, and Twitch, players trying to get into XDefiant are running into an “unable to find match” error message, among other errors, when trying to connect to any playlist through matchmaking. Different combinations of enabling and disabling crossplay or input-based matchmaking don’t appear to help.
Ubisoft has already put out a statement on Twitter/X, saying it is “aware that some players are unable to join a game,” and asking players to “bear with us while we look into servers and matchmaking.” Some replies point out that it appears to be more than just “some” players, and while a few people are angry and disappointed they can’t play right away, there are several replies expressing understanding that this is a common occurrence with the launch of a popular multiplayer title.
This is a breaking news story with more details to follow. Updates will be added as soon as possible.
