PC Players Can Play The Division For Free This Weekend
After a year of turbulence, Ubisoft's shared world shooter finally feels like it's on track. For PC players who have yet to patrol the streets of a decimated Manhattan and cleanse the city of its devious factions, now is as good of time as any.
Today Ubisoft announced it's hosting a free weekend for The Division on PC. From December 15 at 10AM PST to December 18 at 1PM PST, you can check out the full core game and all of its additional content (save for the paid Underground and Survival expansions). Should you decide you like the game and want to purchase the full version, all of your progress will carry over.
We recommend bringing some friends if you plan to try it, because the game is best played cooperatively. You can read our review of The Division here.
Our Take
All these free weekends sure aren't helping drive game sales, but as a gamer these are great opportunities to try before you buy.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
