Ubisoft is giving away $9 in virtual currency for free-to-play shooter XDefiant

Ubisoft is giving away virtual currency for its free-to-play shooter XDefiant this month.

The virtual currency is being offered in the form of log-in bonuses, with 900 XCoins (worth $9) available to claim between today and September 24.

XCoins can be used to purchase in-game items including cosmetics and the game’s battle pass. A bundle of 1,000 XCoins currently costs $9.99 / £7.99.

The promotion, which will also offer players weapon and battle pass XP boosters, is being billed as a celebration of the end of XDefiant Season 1.

However, it comes amid reports that there’s been a sharp drop in interest in the game, contributing to a significant decline in Ubisoft’s share price.

It’s time to celebrate Season 1!
