Season one in XDefiant introduces the GSK from Rainbow Six Siege as a new faction, alongside three new weapons, the arrival of three maps throughout the season, and the launch of the highly anticipated Ranked mode from July 3.

Of course, an update of this size means players can expect downtime on the servers ahead of the full launch, but we can tell you exactly when the servers are due to go live for XDefiant season one.

XDefiant season one launched July 2 at 10am CT. Downtime ahead of season one began at 6am 8am CT, and the servers were unavailable during that time. On X (formerly Twitter), developer Ubisoft stated downtime for XDefiant ahead of season one will last around two hours. Our countdown below is ticking down to when we expect XDefiant to go live based on this.
