The big Division 2 beta was unveiled this week, including news on the release date and how to access it on PS4 and Xbox One.
And there is both good and bad news to know when preparing for the big test in February.
According to the official Division 2 website, there are two ways to access The Division beta on PS4 and Xbox One.
But there is only one guaranteed way you will have access in time for the big test.
As you might have suspected, pre-ordering the game will earn you instant access to The Division 2 beta.
The Private Beta will run from February 7 – 10 and will mostly consist of those who have put their money down for the game.
However, fans can also sign up for a chance to get free access to The Division 2 beta next month.
This can be done on the official Division 2 website and means using a gaming account to add your name to the list.
However, this doesn’t guarantee you access and leaves your chance of grabbing a code in the balance.
“The Division 2’s Private Beta begins on February 7, giving players an early chance to experience the dangers of post-pandemic Washington, DC through February 10,” Ubisoft confirms.
“Xbox One, PS4, and PC players can secure their access to the Private Beta by pre-ordering The Division 2 at participating retailers. Players who register at thedivisiongame.com/beta will be invited to join as space allows.
“More details about the Private Beta will be announced at a later date, so stay tuned. The Division 2 will launch on March 15 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.”
The Division 2 beta will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One and those who want to take part need to select one of these platforms to take part.
Those who are playing on PC might be surprised to hear that The Division 2 will not be available on Steam.
Instead, Ubisoft has teamed up to offer the game on the Epic Games Store.
