On March 31, Ubisoft quietly launched The Division Resurgence in early access for mobile devices, allowing players to experience this third-person shooter on iOS and Android. However, what has surprised the gaming community is that the PC version has made its unexpected debut on Ubisoft Connect, also in early access, as part of the technical tests leading up to its official release in August.
A game released quietly
Ubisoft’s goal in bringing the universe of The Division to mobile devices is clear: to expand access to its open-world experience so that more players can enjoy it anywhere and anytime. However, this transition to mobile has received mixed reviews. While some players have found the gameplay entertaining, many have pointed out issues with the menus, unintuitive controls, and bugs that affect the gaming experience.
On the part of the critics, the reception of The Division Resurgence has been moderate; The Sixth Axis praised the variety of game modes, but did not hesitate to point out deficiencies in the user interface and controls, describing them as clumsy. This has led to speculation about whether the mobile version has managed to attract an adequate number of players, which could explain the sudden appearance of the PC version.
Regarding accessibility, the recommended requirements to play The Division Resurgence on PC are relatively modest, allowing more users to access the game. With a setup that does not demand cutting-edge hardware, Ubisoft aims to attract a broader audience. Currently, players interested in experiencing The Division Resurgence on PC must do so through Ubisoft Connect, as it is not available on other platforms at the moment.
