After a successful launch and pre-season, XDefiant is heading into its first season with a massive content update bringing new weapons, factions, and more. We can tell you exactly how long you have to wait.
XDefiant: Season 1 Recap Trailer
The first season of XDefiant will introduce Rainbow Six Siege's GSK as a new faction, along with three new weapons, the arrival of three maps throughout the season, and the launch of the long-awaited Ranked mode from July 3rd.
Of course, an update of this size means that players may experience some downtime on the servers leading up to the full launch, but we can tell you exactly when the servers will go live for Season One of XDefiant.
XDefiant Season One kicked off on July 2nd at 10am CT. The downtime leading up to Season One began at 6am-8am CT, with servers being unavailable during that time. On X (formerly Twitter), developer Ubisoft stated that the downtime for XDefiant leading up to Season One will last approximately two hours. Our countdown below ticks down the period until we expect XDefiant to go live based on this.
