The update is expected to go live sometime during the day, but Ubisoft hasn&#8217;t confirmed an exact time yet. With just a few weeks remaining in the Preseason, players can use this time to familiarize themselves with the existing maps, modes, and factions to prepare for the upcoming new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of Season 1 marks a significant shift from the Preseason. Here&#8217;s what you can expect on launch day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Server Downtime:<\/strong>&nbsp;There might be a brief period of server downtime when the update is taking place. Players will likely be unable to access the game for a short time while the update is being pushed live.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patch Notes:<\/strong>&nbsp;Ubisoft will release detailed patch notes outlining all the changes, additions, and bug fixes implemented in XDefiant Season 1. Just like other online games, these notes will provide a detailed, and sometimes technical overview of the XDefiant Season 1 content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season Pass and Store Updates:<\/strong>\u00a0The in-game store and Battle Pass system will likely undergo an overhaul with the launch of XDefiant Season 1. Players can expect a new Battle Pass for exclusive rewards and cosmetics. The store might also introduce new weapon skins, character customizations, and other purchasable items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-blush-light-purple-gradient-background has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-regular-font-size wp-elements-13c9b9369bd01698f76f983aa2d9ac0e\" style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:300\"><strong>Joytify <strong>TOP UP<\/strong>: PAY LESS, PLAY MORE<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignfull is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-ph\/voucher-steam-wallet?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">steam<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-ph\/mobile-legends?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">Mlbb<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-ph\/pubg-mobile?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">Pubg<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--5\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-ph\/voucher-free-fire?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">FF<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--6\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-ph\/valorant?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">Valorant<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-to-vivid-purple-gradient-background has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/en-ph?utm_source=SEO&amp;utm_medium=BLOG&amp;utm_campaign=PATTERNBUTTON\">OTHER GAMES<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/honor-of-kings-invitational-season-2\/\">Honor of Kings Invitational Season 2: Everything You Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"XDefiant_Season_1_New_Faction\"><\/span>XDefiant Season 1 New Faction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"XDefiant Season 1 New GSK Faction\" class=\"wp-image-1443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-1536x861.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-2048x1148.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-450x252.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0073-1200x673.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s always exciting to see a familiar crossover between loved franchises. This time around, Ubisoft is treating its already raving fanbase with the upcoming new faction coming from Tom Clancy&#8217;s Rainbow Six universe, the GSK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GSK is known for their tactical prowess and specialization in counter-terrorism operations. The upcoming XDefiant Season 1 and its faster paced gameplay may benefit from unique equips, abilities, gadgets available in Rainbow Six. The GSK faction will also be instantly available to <a href=\"https:\/\/store.ubisoft.com\/us\/ubisoftplus\">Ubisoft+ subscribers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Ubisoft hasn&#8217;t officially confirmed the specific GSK operators available in XDefiant Season 1, leaks and rumors can suggest some familiar faces that might be joining the upcoming XDefiant Season 1. Here are some of the possibilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ash:<\/strong>&nbsp;A popular attacker known for her breaching charges and aggressive playstyle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thermite:<\/strong>&nbsp;A specialist in breaching reinforced walls. It would be amazing if Thermite can offer strategic breaching options for the team in the upcoming XDefiant Season 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doc:<\/strong>&nbsp;A dedicated healer with the ability to revive teammates and provide health boosts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mute:<\/strong>&nbsp;A master of information denial, capable of jamming enemy gadgets and drones. Here&#8217;s wishing we might even get unique mechanics for Mute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_GSK_Might_Impact_the_Current_Meta\"><\/span>How GSK Might Impact the Current Meta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction of the GSK can shake up the current XDefiant preseason meta. Their focus on tactical approaches and potential unique gadgets could introduce new strategies and team compositions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, breachers like Thermite could open up new ways of attacking on previously inaccessible objectives. Futhermore, Doc&#8217;s healing abilities could impact team fights and favor a more aggressive playstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/mlbb-x-jujutsu-kaisen-premium-supply-2024\/\">MLBB x Jujutsu Kaisen Premium Supply 2024 and Strategy to Get Exclusive Skins<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Maps_on_Upcoming_XDefiant_Season_1\"><\/span>New Maps on Upcoming XDefiant Season 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>XDefiant Season 1 promises to expand the available maps in XDefiant, giving players a wider selection of battlegrounds to play on.

Ranked playlists might have a curated selection of maps that best suit competitive play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expanding_the_XDefiant_Arsenal_with_New_Weapons\"><\/span>Expanding the XDefiant Arsenal with New Weapons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"New XDefiant Weapons\" class=\"wp-image-1447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-1536x854.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-2048x1138.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-450x250.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0089-1200x667.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming new weapons in XDefiant Season 1 will bolster the weapon pool with three new additions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>LVOA-C:<\/strong>&nbsp;This weapon is likely an assault rifle, giving a good balance of fire rate, accuracy, and damage at medium range. It could become a popular choice for all-around usability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>L115:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is likely a sniper rifle. L115 could allow players to engage enemies from afar with high precision. This weapon could potentially alter the current meta, forcing players to adapt their strategies to counter long-range threats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sawed-Off Shotgun:<\/strong>&nbsp;Popular across FPS games, this shotgun is able to do devastating close-quarters firepower but will likely have a very limited effective range. Players might favor this weapon for aggressively pushing objectives or flanking enemies in tight spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ubisoft also introduced weapon balancing adjustments in Season 1 to ensure a healthy meta. The new weapons come with various customization options like sights, barrels, and attachments, giving the players freedom to tailor them to their preferred playstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Ranked_Play_in_XDefiant_Season_1\"><\/span>New Ranked Play in XDefiant Season 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-1024x568.jpg\" alt=\"XDefiant Season 1 Ranked Play\" class=\"wp-image-1448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-1536x852.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-2048x1137.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-450x250.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.joytify.com\/blog\/en-ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0082-1200x666.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>XDefiant Season 1 marks the official launch of Ranked Play.
