Download The Division Beta 48 Hours Before It Starts

Great news for players who will be participating in the beta for The Division. Ubisoft has confirmed that the beta will be able to be pre-loaded before it starts.

In a post on the game’s Facebook page, Ubisoft confirmed that players will be able to download the beta 48 hours before the actual test begins. This is good news for those with slower internet as the beta itself will clock in at 26GB.

The beta will begin on January 28 on Xbox One. Playstation 4 and PC players will be able to play on January 29. The only guaranteed way to get access to the beta is to pre-order the game. There is a waiting list that you sign up here, but it doesn’t guarantee that those who join the waiting list will get in.

Tom Clancy’s The Division is an upcoming open world third-person shooter role-playing video game with survival elements developed by Ubisoft Massive with co-developers Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Reflections, and Red Storm Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game was originally revealed at E3 2013 and has been shown at different trade shows since then. The Division takes place in mid-crisis New York, an open world with destructive environments that is free for players to explore.

The Division launches on March 8, 2016, on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC.
