XDefiant To Fully Shut Down In June 2025

Ubisoft is starting the process of shutting down its free-to-play first-person shooting game XDefiant. The final farewell day for the game is on June 3, 2025. Along with the shutdown comes the closing of the Ubisoft San Francisco and Osaka studios. This has resulted in almost 300 people losing their jobs, another blow to the already troublesome video game industry. For fans and avid players of XDefiant, here’s exactly what the shutdown means in full. On December 3, XDefiant entered the “sunsetting” stage, as confirmed by the social media team for the game. This means that no new purchases, downloads, or player registrations can happen during this time. On June 3, the game will be removed from all platforms. Along with that news, players who chose to dip into their funds to buy the Ultimate Founder’s Pack will get a full refund. Anyone who made any purchases involving XDefiant in the last 30 days will receive a full refund as well. Until the fateful date, players will have access to all functionalities within
