XDefiant, Ubisoft’s free-to-play Call of Duty-like arena shooter, launched yesterday. However, the game has already faced its share of issues, with matchmaking being shot (pun not intended) leaving many unable to access it at all.
As users reported being met with an “Unable to Find Match” alert, Ubisoft acknowledged players were struggling to join a game, stating: “Please bear with us while we look into servers and matchmaking!”
Things got so bad, developer Mark Rubin – who previously worked on the Call of Duty series prior to his role as XDefiant’s executive producer – shared a post on social media last night, showing a hamster clinging on desperately to an out of control wheel. “Matchmaking servers go boom!” he wrote.
