Ubisoft Working to Fix XDefiant’s Busted Hit Registration

Ubisoft's new free-to-play shooter, XDefiant, launched its pre-season, gaining traction among fans despite significant hit registration issues. Players report that the game poorly detects the impact of projectiles, making it unusually easy to dodge bullets. Ubisoft acknowledges the problem and is actively working on a fix as the game progresses through its preseason phase.

Mark Rubin, XDefiant's development chief, responded to the hit registration complaints by acknowledging the issue and stating that it is something the team is actively working on. In a tweet, Rubin said, "You don't need a petition. It's something we are working on." This response came after players took to social media, subreddits, and Discord to express their concerns about the game's hit registration, which is the ability of a video game to detect the impact of projectiles accurately.
