Is The Division 2 online only?
Unfortunately, The Division 2 will always require an internet connection to play. While you will be able to play most of the game solo and without the aid of friends or random players, you will need to have an active connection to the web anytime you are playing. Like a lot of looter shooter games released over the past few years, The Division 2 has a lot of online services that have been tied together to help make a seamless and easy to use cooperative game.
Because of the ability to easily connect to other players, you’re going to want to make sure your Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or PC is always hooked in and connected to the internet. If you do happen to lose connection to the servers, you’ll find yourself booted back to the main menu, where you will need to reconnect and load back in. Thankfully, due to how saving works in The Division 2, you shouldn’t ever lose much of your game progress due to connection problems.
While The Division 2’s always online setting isn’t that great of news for users looking to dive into an offline singleplayer game, those with moderate connections to the internet shouldn’t run into too many issues all around. You can also report any issues you encounter to the Ubisoft Support forums, where specialists can help you out and provide additional solutions if you are encounter connection problems.
