Keep in mind that with some browsers, clicking on “Ubisoft Connect | PC” won’t do anything. If that is the case then use Microsoft Edge and it will work perfectly fine as long as you have Ubisoft Connect installed.
XDefiant is optimized to run well if you have a good gaming PC/laptop with many settings to tweak for the best performance possible. Usually, on launch, PC versions of the game suffer from performance issues compared to the console versions, but this is not the case with XDefiant.
