The Division 2 Next-Gen Upgrades "Unlikely" to Avoid Leaving Last-Gen Players Behind

Ubisoft has stated that it is unlikely that The Division 2 will receive native versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as it would mean leaving behind players on last-gen consoles. The company is committed to supporting all generations and ensuring that new updates run smoothly on older consoles. However, a patch was released in 2021 that gave the game a 4K and 60 FPS upgrade for those consoles. Ubisoft has confirmed its fifth year of support for The Division 2 starting in June 2023, with Season 1 including a rogue-lite feature called Descent Mode.

The Division 2 Unlikely to Receive Native Next-Gen Versions.

Ubisoft has stated that it's "unlikely" that The Division 2 will receive a native Xbox Series X|S version due to the game's structure, which would make it unavailable on last-gen consoles. The game already runs at 4K/60fps on the latest Xbox consoles, but Ubisoft wants to ensure that it still runs smoothly on older generations. With the upcoming launch of the free-to-play The Division Heartland, it remains to be seen if investing in The Division 2's development is worthwhile.

Ubisoft is unlikely to release native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of The Division 2 as it would mean leaving players on PS4 and Xbox One behind. The game's creative director, Yannick Banchereau, stated that they are not ready to ask players to upgrade and are trying to ensure that every time they add something, it still runs smoothly on the old generation. The Division 2 currently has a 60FPS option on new consoles, but no other enhancements. Ubisoft has not yet announced whether the game will receive a full sequel, but a free-to-play spin-off, The Division Heartland, is in development.
