XDefiant is off to the races, having reportedly already reached over 3 million unique players, with the first million coming two and a half hours after launch.

The above statistics are according to Insider Gaming, which reports some of the launch numbers surrounding Ubisoft's free-to-play answer to Call of Duty. According to Insider Gaming, the game is "well on its way" when it comes to surpassing Ubisoft's internal goals in terms of number of players. Those launch numbers make XDefiant the fastest Ubisoft game to ever reach 1 million players, and are even bigger than free-to-play competitor Apex Legends. Respawn's battle royale saw around 1 million unique players in its first eight hours after launch back in 2019.

Insider Gaming reports that as of earlier today, May 23, XDefiant had around 300,000 concurrent players across all platforms, with it reaching over 500,000 players shortly after launch despite early server issues that made it unplayable for many.
