Popular video game developer Ubisoft has finally launched a closed beta test session for the highly anticipated XDefiant, the company’s latest free-to-play first-person shooter title. As fans flock towards every beta code they can find to test the experience, many are worried about whether the much-awaited game is going to be available on their gaming system, especially those who still own the aged Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (PS4) consoles.
Fortunately, Ubisoft and several other sources have confirmed that XDefiant’s final version will be available on last-generation consoles. In addition to PC, the Xbox Series X|S, and the PlayStation 5, players will be able to experience the game on the Xbox One, the PS4, and Amazon Luna’s cloud platform.
That said, as per Ubisoft’s statement, closed beta access for the game will only be available on PC, the Xbox Series X|S, and the PlayStation 5.

Ubisoft is yet to reveal an official release date for the faction-based Call of Duty challenger. Once it is launched, fans should be able to download the game from their respective console stores and start playing without any restrictions.
