XDefiant Open Session Release Date
According to Ubisoft’s official website, the release date of the XDefiant open session is from June 21 to 23. However, there is an advantage for those who participated in the Closed Beta in April: they can access the Open Session one day early to participate in the Early Access phase beginning on June 20.
