Ubisoft’s new FPS XDefiant is an exciting new multiplayer game set to rival the experience of CoD Multiplayer. Here’s how you can sign up and play the XDefiant closed beta to get a taste of the new game.

XDefiant is Ubisoft’s new upcoming FPS that will be free-to-play when it officially launches. The game features a lot of exciting content for those who enjoy a multiplayer formula similar to that of Call of Duty, except XDefiant has aspects of an arena shooter, with many factions and unique abilities.

The game doesn’t have a release date at the time of writing, and there have been multiple tests for the game in the past. Now, the devs have officially released the XDefiant closed beta, which allows more players than ever before to experience the title.

For those interested, here’s how you can sign up and play the XDefiant closed beta, as well as the rewards up for grabs.
