6.4 million people played The Division’s open beta

Ubisoft wrapped up the open beta for Tom Clancy's The Division over the weekend ahead of its release in March and it turned out to be quite popular indeed with Ubisoft claiming that it is the ‘biggest beta ever' for a brand new IP on this generation of consoles. Over 6.4 million people logged in over the weekend to try out the game on the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The beta ran from Friday until Monday on the PC and PlayStation 4 while Xbox One players got in last Thursday. The average play time for the beta was four hours and 52 minutes with over a third of that time being spent in the game's PvP mode known as The Dark Zone.

“We want to thank the millions of people who joined in on The Division's Open Beta,” said creative director Magnus Jansen. “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's open beta contained two main story missions and a section of The Dark Zone to explore. Players could also access the medical and tech wings of their home base in the city. The game officially launches on the 8th of March.

KitGuru Says: I'm really looking forward to The Division, especially after playing through both betas. You can tell just from walking around that a huge amount of detail has gone into creating the world itself and the two main story missions were fantastic to play through. Did any of you try out the beta? Will you be jumping into the main game?

KitGuru Games: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.

  1. Was awesome, loved it! Looks great at 3440×1440@Ultra settings too B|

  2. Yes I did, found it boring as hell. In my own personal opinion it’s Ubisoft’s ‘Destiny’.. just wait for the meagre content and super expensive dlc to come along..

  3. Was it using DX11 or DX12? Given there were a lot of vague references from the developer about how DX12 was a great thing and all that.

  4. Totally agree. It hit me as a slightly improved version of “Freedom Fighters”…from 13 years ago. Unlike the review, I found it to be utterly bland and lifeless – a lot like a generic f2p mmo.

  5. Really? it looked awesome compared to…? Because compared to what a hald decent gaming pc can do, it looked pants. Star Citizen looks great. The Division looked average at best. (Also the fact that you could run it at 4k shows it isn’t very demanding)

  6. 4k is probably possible with 2 overclocked Ti’s (I run mine at 1500/8000 and got about 50-55fps on average) but you’d def need Gsync to keep it smooth at that res. I think the game perfectly captured the ‘dystopian’ look and feel myself, and really added to the atmosphere. I must be easier to please than some…

  8. Well yeah, that is design rather than the actual graphics. Graphically, its poorly optimized and pretty bland, but that seems to be all of Ubisofts games at the moment.
