How Much Space Will XDefiant Take Up?

It appears that XDefiant is not going to be as much of a storage hog as its competition, coming in at around 50GB total. As the game continues to receive updates, we can only expect that number to grow and swell. For the time being, however, you won’t need to delete the majority of the games off of your hard drive if you’re hoping to give XDefiant a try.

Which Platforms Will XDefiant Launch On?

If you’re hoping to play XDefiant, it may be time to upgrade your consoles. At launch, it will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It appears that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, alongside the Nintendo Switch, will not be able to play XDefiant. There is currently no news about a previous generation port for this title.

No matter if you’re curious to see what XDefiant may have to offer, or if you’re ready to leave another shooter behind for something bigger and better, it’s almost time to jump into this new shooter. After some certification issues, we’re finally on track for a proper release.
