How to Add and Invite Friends to Play XDefiant?

XDefiant is Ubisoft's first-person arena shooter that combines several of the developer's shooters into one. You'll find Factions from Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's the Division, and many more as the game is updated throughout its lifetime. With the game being always online, you'll create a team of friends to take down enemy teams in hopes of earning a win. If you want to build your own custom squad with people you know, here's how to do just that.
