However, it's worth noting that the XDefiant closed beta was extended, so perhaps we could see a similar situation for the upcoming open beta if it's popular enough. The XDefiant open beta start time is set for next week on Wednesday, June 21 at 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT and will run up until the weekend, drawing to a close on Friday, June 23 at 11pm PDT, which is 7am BST / 2am EDT on Saturday, June 24.

But not before an open beta, so players who missed out on the XDefiant closed beta back in April can finally see what all the fuss is about. Of course, there were exciting announcements aplenty with extended gameplay from the new Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and pen-world Star Wars Outlaws, as well as the news that XDefiant will be launching later in the summer. This week's Ubisoft Forward may have run on a bit long, but it brought some of the sorely-missed E3 awkwardness to Summer Game Fest. XDefiant is going to have another beta, and this time it's going to be open to everyone on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
