Ubisoft revealed an astonishing record for The Division beta. The publisher announced that 6.4 million players participated in the Beta making it the biggest beta ever for a new IP on current generation platforms.

On average, players spent about 4 hours and 52 minutes as an activated sleeper agent, journeying New York City. More than one third of that time was spent in the unique and challenging player-versus-player (PVP) Dark Zone with more than 2.5 million players going rogue.

The Beta gave Ubisoft an opportunity to test its online infrastructure along with changes and updates made to the game. It also served as a chance for millions of players to try the game for the first time and provide their feedback to Ubisoft.
