Microsoft And Ubisoft Team Up For Xbox One Division Bundle
The Division is one of the most anticipated games of the Spring, and you might be considering which of the three platforms to play it on. If you’ve not upgraded to a current-generation console, Microsoft and Ubisoft have something for you to consider.
A new bundle featuring The Division was announced today. The 1TB black Xbox One is a standard deco version that comes with the game.
If you pre-order the $399 bundle, you’ll get guaranteed access to the beta running at the end of this month. It ships out alongside the game (also releasing on PS4 and PC) on March 8.

Our Take
Microsoft is smart to stay aggressive with bundles until it reaches heavier market penetration. Bundles have the most impact at this point in the product cycle as a way to quietly offer a savings without dropping the price. Given Microsoft’s move to offer more outside of the holidays, I expect this to be a theme for the year.
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.
