XDefiant producer responds to calls for Steam release UbisoftXDefiant\u2019s developer Mark Rubin has addressed the community\u2019s ongoing call for an official Steam release. Like a few other big-name publishers, Ubisoft releases PC versions of its titles on a proprietary launcher \u2013 Ubisoft Connect. As such, several Ubisoft games skipped the Steam storefront. The publisher returned to Steam in late 2022, though, launching Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla, Anno 1800, and Roller Champions on the PC platform in December of that year. But what about the likes of XDefiant? Executive Producer Mark Rubin previously said Steam isn\u2019t on the docket right now, but didn\u2019t rule out a possible release in the future. There is still hope for an XDefiant Steam launch As of writing, XDefiant lacks a firm due date, yet fans are especially curious about whether it will be a Ubisoft Connect exclusive. Executive Producer Mark Rubin recently responded to one such question, telling a Twitter user that it will launch exclusively on UbiConnect. Prospective players shouldn\u2019t give up hope, though. According to Rubin, a Steam version is \u201csomething [the team is] talking about as a possibility for later.\u201d A screenshot of the exchange features below: Mark Rubin\u2019s comment about a potential XDefiant Steam release comes just a day after the developer shared a news update regarding the multiplayer title. In a Twitter post on his personal account, Rubin noted the team will share \u201cmore specific news in the next couple of weeks as we get ready for launch.\u201d The producer also informed fans that issues affecting the netcode have been addressed. In addition, the crew managed to implement a brand-new Party System that\u2019s currently undergoing \u201crigorous testing and bug fixing\u201d as everyone prepares for XDefiant\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
