XDefiant Twitch drops: rewards list and how to redeem them

Ubisoft

Ubisoft is giving XDefiant a big push for its full release. Not only is this a completely free shooter with full cross-platform support, but the team is dishing out free rewards for anyone who tunes in to Twitch streams of the game over the next six weeks. That’s a lot of potential rewards, but you need to know what streams to tune into and how you can claim those drops. We’ll also give you a rundown of each reward you can get week by week to make sure you don’t miss out on your next favorite gun skin.

How to redeem XDefiant Twitch drops

Starting at 9 a.m. PT on May 21, Ubisoft will begin hosting the first XDefiant stream called the All-Star Series. After this initial stream, rewards will be given out each week on any XDefiant stream you decide to watch.

You can earn three rewards every week for the first six weeks of XDefiant‘s launch. The first unlocks after watching for 30 minutes, the second after 1 hour, and the final reward for 1 hour and 30 minutes of total watch time that week. To redeem the rewards, you need to first make sure your Twitch account is linked to your Ubisoft account.

After earning a drop, it will appear in your Twitch inventory, so all you need to do is open it up and claim it to send it over to your XDefiant account.

Note that you do not need to watch that entire duration of time in a single stream. As long as your total XDefiant watch time on Twitch hits any of the three thresholds before the week is up, you can earn the corresponding drop.

In the era of Grand Theft Auto clones, one series managed to stand out by offering a unique setting and a compelling crime drama. Mafia gave us a deep dive into the world of organized crime in various time periods across American history, with rich open worlds to explore and plenty to do and see. Now, an upcoming video game is reviving the series as a prequel to them all. It's called Mafia: The Old Country and it will show us the underworld in a completely new setting, somewhat like Ghost of Yotei. We managed to smuggle out all the information there is about this upcoming PS5 game.

Mafia: The Old Country is also on our lists of upcoming Xbox Series X games and upcoming PC games, but you won't find it on the list of upcoming Switch games.

Much like Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Turok is making a comeback after over a decade away. Turok: Origins is an upcoming video game from Saber Interactive.
