Did you play the Beta for The Division? You were one of 6.4 million players!
Ubisoft have today confirmed that the recent Beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division broke records, making it the biggest beta ever for a new IP on current gen systems.
The recent Beta allowed Ubisoft to test its online infrastructure as well as changes and updates made to the game. But not only that, it give you, me and millions of others from around the world the =chance to check the game out and provide Ubisoft with precious feedback. On average, players spent 4 hours and 52 minutes as an activated sleeper agent, journeying through The Division’s pandemic-stricken New York City. More than one third of that time was spent in The Division’s unique and challenging player-versus-player (PVP) environment, the Dark Zone, with more than 2.5 million players going rogue.
“We want to thank the millions of people who joined in on The Division’s Open Beta,” said, Magnus Jansen, creative director. “We hope everybody enjoyed playing, and we think the beta is going to help ensure a great launch for the game. We’re looking forward to everyone getting their hands on the full game when The Division is released on March 8th.”
The Division launches on Xbox One, PS4 and PC come March 8th 2016 and you can read Ubisoft’s full blog post here.
Maybe this is what broke Xbox Live? Kidding, but kind of ridiculous that there’s been so many outages lately.
You been seeing a lot of downtime Tyler? I’ve struggled to redeem codes today but other than that, haven’t noticed too much of an issue.
On Monday I either couldn’t sign in or access digital games from about 1 pm central time, and I think it finally came back up at around 3 am on Tuesday.
Seems I got off easy then!
Mine was the same on Monday, all my pins disappeared and only discs would work.
