The faith of XDefiant‘s diehard fanbase is beginning to waver. Concerns have continued to grow over the state of the game, with some failing to see how Ubisoft’s highly-touted shooter can survive beyond 12 months.
Ubisoft doesn’t provide concurrent player counts to prove a drop in interest around the title, but there are other signs, such as dwindling Twitch viewership, as pointed out by members of the community on X (formerly Twitter) on July 29. The game launched in May with over 75,000 tuning into various streamers, according to TwitchTracker, but the dropoff in viewership has been sharp with just over 1,000 watching, as of the time of writing.
