These things are expected with any free-to-play game. In doing that, they are inevitably bringing in toxic players from all of these different games and it becomes a breeding ground for toxic behavior both in terms of gameplay and player to player interactions. And by the looks of it, make them even more accessible to even broader audiences. The same applies for every other free-to-play shooter out there.īut the entire theme of XDefiant specifically seems to be that Ubisoft is trying to take the most engaging parts of Call of Duty, Fortnite, Rainbow Six, Apex Legends and undoubtedly others.
