From June 21 – 23, XDefiant will have an Open Session where the devs will focus on player feedback. It will be one of the many more rounds of testing before Ubisoft launches the official game. So, what exactly can users expect in the open session? Here’s what XDefiant’s creative director Safy Saada had to say.

“We’re committed to improving the game based on player feedback,” said Saada. “With that, the goal of this Open Session is to validate some of those key improvements we’ve made (mainly a new net code and better input lag). With the emphasis of this being ‘open’, we want to put our servers to the test and get a read on its stability at a large scale to be ready by launch.”
