Mark Rubin, the executive producer of XDefiant, came to the game’s defense in an X <a href="https://twitter.com/PixelsofMark/status/1809020713954914444?s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">post</a>. The outspoken game developer cited that new releases typically have bugs to iron out, and such situations were standard for initial releases. In his post, Rubin spoke up on the difficulty of developing such Live-Person Shooter games, especially with the choice to use Ubisoft’s Snowdrop game engine as a core component of the development process.
According to Rubin, the game’s First-Person Shooter (FPS) infrastructure had to be developed from scratch since the game engine used had been originally developed for something else. Rubin stated that using Ubisoft’s engine resulted in many bugs and issues that were already covered when creating such a game with other engines.
<blockquote>
 “We’re not a shooter that’s been out for 20 years. If you like what we are trying to do, stick around, and you’ll see things improve, and new features get added. But if the game isn’t for you, that’s ok, you can move on.”

Rubin also pointed out that developers were working round the clock to fix the bugs for all versions of the game. He stated that the team was moving to sort any bugs with fixes and patches to eliminate issues that they missed during the game’s testing phase.

Rubin acknowledged several posts in which more fans have come out to show their support for the project.&nbsp;

The fans have shown support by calling out some of the game’s critics for their impatience and dismissal of the game. The users praised Rubin and his team for their open interaction and how they addressed the issues. One <a href="https://twitter.com/zeedord/status/1809021320082174214?t=_wHAa5JkpKvLGD2NZulxmw&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">user</a> stated that Rubin and his team should ignore comments from users who did not know how game development works.
Ubisoft released XDefiant’s first season, the ranked mode, and other game modes this week.&nbsp; Mark continued to urge players to have faith in the project in another X <a href="https://x.com/PixelsofMark/status/1808488400200388915" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">post</a> reply.
