Ubisoft's new shooter, XDefiant, officially launched in May and quickly drew in some players after some initial server issues. The game appears to be doing well, but fans have been asking for more game modes. In particular, the game's lack of Team Deathmatch mode has raised some eyebrows. Fortunately, as of today, XDefiant now has Team Deathmatch.
Team Deathmatch is a staple of the multiplayer shooter genre. The idea is simple, you put together two teams on opposing sides and you let them fight it out, all while working together and communicating to win rounds. In XDefiant, the two current modes, Escort and Domination, encourage a fast-paced style of play, so it will be interesting to see if Team Deathmatch ends up being a bit more tactical.
What has two words, no objectives, and has been a frequent community request for many moons?

The XDefiant team made the surprise announcement that Team Deathmatch would be coming to the game earlier this week, confirming that the update will drop today, June 21st. If you have XDefiant installed, the update should be waiting for you to download by 6PM tonight (UK time).
XDefiant was billed as Ubisoft's competitor to Call of Duty and during its beta tests last year, a lot of players believed it could overthrow COD multiplayer in an off year for the long-running franchise. However, the game was hit by multiple delays, pushing it well out of its original late 2023 release window. The game is available now on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 as a free-to-play title. If you want something purely tactical, then Ubisoft's other shooter, Rainbow Six Siege, is still going strong to this day and is continuing to get new updates.
