All that grinding in public matches is about to pay off. Ranked mode is here in XDefiant, and we’ve got all the details you need to get ready to rank up.

XDefiant’s Ranked mode differs from its unranked counterpart in several ways. There are fewer players in each lobby, the game modes are different, and it’s all about grabbing wins and ranking up rather than who can rack up the most kills.

Here's everything you need to know about XDefiant's Ranked mode, which was added as part of Season One.

XDefiant's Ranked mode is four-on-four, unlike the game's unranked modes, which are six-on-six. Ranked mode features specific game modes with rule changes from the unranked variants.
