Find Out If Your PC Rig Can Handle Ubisoft’s The Division Ahead Of Next Week’s Beta

Putting the final preparations in place for next week’s beta test, Ubisoft has detailed the minimum and recommended specifications for The Division‘s PC version.

Per Microsoft’s content partnership with the developer, next week’s beta will debut on Xbox One come January 28, giving those on Microsoft’s current-gen system a full 24-hour headstart to put Ubisoft’s tactical shooter to the test. As a result, it’ll make the jump to PS4 and PC the following day, January 29, before concluding across all platforms on January 31. Those who have pre-ordered The Division will get instant access, though you can still register your interest via Ubi’s website to be in with a chance of participating.

Unlike many Ubisoft titles (we’re looking at you, Far Cry Primal), The Division will launch simultaneously across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on March 8. Post-pandemic New York awaits, and you can get the jump on the technical specifications you’ll need for the PC version.
