There can be many reasons players want to change regions in FPS games like XDefiant. They might want to play with their friends that are outside their region, or simply because their region does not have a lot of people playing, resulting in a longer queue time. Whatever the reason, modern games usually have a way for players to change their region. So let’s see how to change the region in XDefiant.
How to Change Region in XDefiant
At this time, it is not possible to manually change regions in XDefiant. The game setting does not offer any options that players can use to switch regions. This means that players are stuck with their region, although this is not necessarily a bad thing. Playing within your own region will ensure the lowest possible ping, which will guarantee the smoothest in-game experience.
Because XDefiant was released recently, the option to change regions might be added at a later time. Sadly, at this time, there is no official information on when this might happen, so we will have to wait and see. However, until a change region option is added to the game, there are two ways players can try to play in other regions.
Use Ubisoft Support
Using the Ubisoft support page, players can appeal to developers directly and ask them to change their region. However, keep in mind that a good reason for regional change will have to be provided. Additionally, there is no guarantee that this will work. After all, developers can reject your request, but there is no harm in trying. The steps below explain how to request a region change using Ubisoft support:
- Open your internet browser.
- Type Ubisoft support and pick the Contact Us option.
- Search for XDefiant using the Select Game / Service bar, and select the game.
- Select the platform that is used to play the game.
- In Describe the issue you are experiencing, type in your request for region change, and provide the reasons why they should change your region.
- Click on Open Case once you are finished.
Playing With Friends From Other Regions
Players can try to use friends from other regions to play on their servers. When a party is created in XDefiant, the server that is used is based on the party leader’s region. This means that if a party leader is from another region, his region will be used for the entire party. Although this might help players play in other regions, remember that this might cause lag or other connectivity issues.
