XDefiant is one of the most anticipated shooters of the year, largely because the game is created by former Call of Duty pros and developers, and promises features that arcade shooter fans love.

While the hype may not be as high due to the many delays, XDefiant is releasing soon. And to make sure everyone is ready to play the game, Ubisoft is allowing you to preload it. Since it’s a free-to-play game, there’s no harm in doing so, so here’s how you can preload XDefiant on all platforms.

XDefiant preloads will be available on May 16th at 12pm CT, a few days ahead of the global launch on May 21st. This means you can rest assured that the game will be fully downloaded and ready to play on your platform of choice (PC, Xbox, and PlayStation) by the weekend, and you’ll be able to jump in and play as soon as the servers come online.

Preloading XDefiant is similar across all platforms the game is available on. Choose a guide for the platform you want to play the game on and follow the steps to preload the game.
