A new update has finally added the long-awaited Team Deathmatch game mode to XDefiant.

The natural comparisons between XDefiant and Call of Duty's multiplayer gameplay have raised questions about when Ubisoft's hit FPS would get Team Deathmatch ever since the game launched. Ubisoft recently announced XDefiant Season One and multiple new game modes to go with it, leading to further speculation that TDM would finally be coming to the game. But the mode's arrival on June 21st was even sooner, as it's nearly two weeks before the end of the pre-season.

TDM is live! That's it.

Mark Rubin, XDefiant's executive producer, tweeted the official launch of Team Deathmatch shortly after the update. Team Deathmatch is the most rudimentary way to play a first-person shooter; the goal is simply that the team that reaches the target number of kills first (in this case 100) wins the game. Its simplicity is what makes it so effective, as players are incentivized to jump in and get the highest killstreak possible.
