Within two days of its closed beta launch, XDefiant was already maintaining roughly 50,000 viewers, beating out the combined viewership of Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2.Īt the time of writing, XDefiant currently has 45k viewers on Twitch, while Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 maintain just 31k and 11k viewers, respectively. This, combined with the game’s other features, has helped it to quickly shoot up to the top of the Twitch directory.

XDefiant’s gameplay has been described as fun and arcade-like, providing a sense of nostalgia for players.

XDefiant’s decision to remove it has been met with widespread approval, making it a much more accessible game for players of all skill levels. Another feature that has garnered a lot of attention is the absence of skill-based matchmaking, something that has been requested by the Call of Duty community for years.
