Ubisoft today announced details regarding server and review timing for Tom Clancy’s The Division:
Since it’s impossible for us to populate the servers in a way that would adequately replicate playing The Division on launch day, reviewers will start playing the game along with everyone else when it’s released on March 8th – after the servers go live officially at 12:01AM EST. We anticipate there may be some impressions posted online within the first few days of launch that were based on experiences with The Division Beta, and we look forward to seeing streams, videos, and opinions that provide accounts of final, in-game conditions.
Players who have purchased digital copies can begin preloading today for Xbox One; Thursday, March 3rd at 6:00PM EST for PC (Steam/Uplay); and March 6th at 12:01AM local time on PlayStation 4.”
