Ubisoft has announced that the beta phase for The Division will begin on January 29th on the PC, and will last until January 31st. Do note that this is not an open beta, meaning that you’ll have to pre-order the game in order to gain access to it.

According to its FAQ, the Tom Clancy’s The Division Beta is your chance to test and experience a pre-release version of the game before it launches.
It will also serve as an important opportunity to make sure that the game is balanced and that the servers are tested to pave the way for a smooth launch. The beta will not be a full version of the game, and will only function during specific time frames.
Regarding the game’s minimum PC requirements:
“The game is still in development and we’re focusing on providing the best experience for all players. We are currently at a stage in production where we have yet to finalize our technical optimization for each version.”

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

“we have yet to finalize our technical optimization for each version.” Yeah dont forget to f*ck the PC version real good.
Massive Entertainment has always optimized their PC games.
We’ll have to wait and see.
It used to be, you get to play a demo (worded beta these days) before you ‘might’ buy the game. Now, you have to slap down £40-50 on a pre-order, so you get to play the demo/beta. Just no.
Yep and on top of that, lame console exclusivity, like the one day early bullsh*t or in same games console exclusive missions. Seriously though, WTF does one day early for a f*cking beta make a difference? LOL
You could just buy a beta key from G2A for $1.
Nah.
Blame the idiots who support that. I see a lot of people got excited to preorder Street Fighter 5 for the beta.
Exactly, morons who pay for this crap are the only ones to blame.
MS paid to get “one day exclusive”? LOOOOOOOOOOL so pathetic.
“The game is still in development and we’re focusing on providing the best experience for all players.” For those not familiar with Ubisoft, this means: “We’re polishing out console versions and then we’ll just port that as the PC version. We’ll post the requirements once we get an idea of what the PC version will actually be.”
Can’t wait to play this mess
“Beta”
these days it means 60$ demo.
yeah “makes you looks”. That moment when you realize you’re comment is invalid and you are a total mo ron. Way to go as swipe.
