Ubisoft released XDefiant Preason Patch 1 to address significant problems within the game and reintroduce the Practice Zone. Take a look at the complete patch notes to see what changes have been made in this update.

Despite XDefiant’s highly anticipated arrival, the launch has not been without its challenges. Players have faced difficulties accessing the Practice Zone and have reported significant server issues. To address these major complaints, the developers have now released the first Preseason Patch.

The XDefiant Preseason Patch 1 update includes the full patch notes.

XDefiant May 23 Update Patch Notes

XDefiant players in Zone Control mode — Ubisoft

Take a look at all the new features and additions included in the XDefiant Preseason Patch 1 update, as outlined by Ubisoft in their official blog post:

Game Modes

Sometimes players loading into the Practice Zone would spawn outside the world, in a hellscape, and now they (probably) will not.

List of Devices

Fixed an issue where if the player died during the device deployment animation, their next deployed device would drop at their feet rather than be thrown as intended.

Netcode

That issue where you’d get hitmarkers on an enemy as they killed you, but their health bar still appeared full to you? The health bar display was wrong – you did damage them. Should be fixed now.

Localization

Fixed an issue where end-of-match UI text would display with the wrong orientation in Arabic.

Miscellaneous

We’ve turned the Practice Zone back on but it’s possible weird things could still happen.
Resolved a problem that was resulting in decreased framerates on certain AMD graphics cards.

The recent release of XDefiant Preseason Patch 1 may seem like a minor update, but players can still rejoice as the Practice Zone is now available for them to try out the top weapons, loadouts, Factions, and more. This provides a convenient space for players to fine-tune their skills and strategies.
