As you can see from the system requirements listed above, Xdefiant is not a demanding game, and we've taken this into account when thinking about which components we'd personally put into a rig that's going to be running Ubisoft's latest shooter. Of course, having low minimum requirements doesn't mean that the in-game experience of Xdefiant will be lacking, and it's already getting praise for the way its abilities are fun and vary gameplay without taking center stage from regular gunplay, and how it mixes sci-fi technology with reality-based weapons.
Okay, jumping into what we'd recommend, GPU-wise we'd probably go for a strong mid-range player such as an RTX 4060 Ti, an Ada card that proposes great value for money, or from Team Red, something along the lines of an RX 7700 XT, another good card for 1440p. This game doesn't promise to be massively demanding on your GPU, but having those extra CUDA cores / Stream Processors and VRAM will smooth things out and add an even brighter pop of color to the already vibrant world of Xdefiant. For a CPU, we recommend an Intel i5-13600K, one of the best mid-range gaming processors, or a Ryzen 5 7600X.
