The Division Turns 2, Reaches 20 Million Players Milestone
The popularity of the relatively new IP has only gone up since its initial launch.
Video games grow up so fast these days. I remember when Tom Clancy's The Division was just a twinkle of a preview trailer at a Ubisoft E3 press conference. Now, in the two years since its launch, its grown to 20 million players worldwide. I played The Division at its initial launch and I've gone back to it a few times since then to see how it's changed. It seems like The Division has reached this major milestone through a steady commitment to improving and expanding content. No matter how it happened, congrats to the hardworking team that has kept players coming back for more this whole time.
To celebrate, players are getting an entire month of weekly Global Events throughout March as well as few other surprises. The community
The Division's Creative Director Julian Gerighty made the following statement in a press release from Ubisoft: “We are very proud of what we have achieved during these past two years. Listening and giving back to the community has always been our first objective and we would like to thank all The Division players for their valuable feedback and their support.”
Players can find a full list of birthday events and giveaways planned for the month over on The Division's website. The Division is available on PS4, Xbox One

Really glad to see they were able to save this game. Ubisoft has done a lot this last year to reinvigorate my interest in their games.

It's fun, but you still have to enjoy the basic shooting mechanics of spongey enemies with numbers popping off of them as you shoot them. That turns a lot of people off.

I was playing it recently, they really turned it around. Tons of content and actual interesting builds to customize out.
Still love the world building in this game and story. Cleaners, the panic, snow storms, plague stricken Manhattan. Graphics are top notch. -

Really good game. Too bad about the lack of endgame content at launch.
I went back a few months ago, played for an hour, bought the season pass, played for a few weeks and had a good time again. Probably going to go back for more at some point.
If there's a sequel coming, I hope they really work on making the open world more varied and lively. Loved the atmosphere, but there wasn't really much to the world. -
Someone who is familiar with the game:
What am I looking at having to buy to get a good solid taste? Is the base game enough right now or do I have to get the season pass? Will I be pvp stunted if I don't get the season pass?-
I'd just start with the trial to see if you like the shooting and cover mechanics. Most enemies are pretty bullet spongey until you hit level 30 and start grinding out gear to improve your light gear score.
I don't play pvp but dark zone seems to be more about farming materials than fighting other people at this point and survival (mini-BR) and last stand are tied to expansions. I don't know what player numbers are like but the one game of last stand I played to stop the npc barks consisted of getting yelled at about not knowing what I was doing (which was true).
I restarted on PC recently because it was cheaper to buy everything during the steam sale than the season pass was on PS4.
