Ubisoft Is Giving The Division Players 150 Phoenix Credits This Weekend
Ubisoft is trying to make amends for some of the problems players have experienced since The Division’s launch. These include glitches that made characters unplayable and Xbox One players losing their agents altogether.
In a live stream earlier today, Ubisoft said that it would be giving all players 150 Phoenix Credits. These are used to purchase high-end items. All you need to do is log in this weekend.
The Division recently got a hefty update that added the first Incursion, limited in-group gear trading, a new gear level system, and a variety of other improvements. You can read more about that here and our take on the game in our review.

Our Take
In-game make-rights are nice, but it seems like Ubisoft Massive continues to struggle a bit with new problems emerging as the game is patched. It also seems like players are tearing through the new content at a pace that might be faster than the developers anticipated.
Players also seem to be frustrated by exploits that have emerged in the player-versus-player Dark Zone area. Satisfying a community for a living game is no easy task, as Ubisoft is starting to learn.
