PS4 and PC players can access the beta beginning tomorrow at 12pm GMT / 1pm CET / 4am PST / 7am EST. The beta will run for all platforms until Sunday the 21st.
There are some differences from the past month’s closed beta, notably the following updates included in the latest patch notes:
NewMissionAvailable to play, Subway Morgue:
Unlock an additional Wing in theBase of Operations:
Numerous Dark Zone updates and improvements:
Other changes
Can’t wait to try out the new turret and check out the more heavily populated Dark Zone and the early word on the new mission is that it’s quite impressive. In addition to this, developer Ubisoft Massive will be featuring daily in-game activities that will earn the players some unique rewards upon completion, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.
This is quite the deep game, with a lot to account for, so check out the following pages onThe Division Wikito help you get started:
We’re going to be reassembling our 4 Horsemen fireteam from the closed beta and will be streaming the beta on ourYouTube Channel, beginning on Friday night 6PM PST. Take a look at one of our archived vids from the closed beta event:
The Division is due to drop for PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 8th. Keep with us for more updates as we get closer to launch!

Emergence
Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
Crap I wish I had seen this thread earlier lol. I spent the majority of Sunday playing the open beta. This went from a “I’m not really interested” to a “holy crap the beta is done? When can I play more!!”
I’ve never been one for military shooters (always more towards the Sci-Fi types), but there was something about this. I also have to say I was even more impressed because I generally don’t enjoy PvP and I found myself spending significantly more time in the DZ than anywhere else in the game. Can’t wait for March 8 now!
I did have fun with it the few hours I got to play. Unsure of if I’ll get it, but I may.
I had more fun playing in the open beta than I did in the closed beta, and that is saying a lot. Everything I’ve seen from this game has been great and we’ve only been shown a fraction so far. This will be a mainstay of mine for a long time.
It was great playing the beta with you man. Really looking forward to teaming up again on March 8
Got it, me and a lot of the people from the destiny fextra knights clan played it over the weekend, would’ve liked to have played more but got stuck helping people through Oryx challenge.
I just finished up the beta (work just really gets in the way sometimes), and it was quite fun. I think I logged over 20 hours. I was rolling with a squad nearly all the time and think that made all the difference. As a result, I preordered the game and am extremely excited. None of my actual friends play PS4, so for me it’s been really hard to find a group of gamers who are just good people out to have fun. I got lucky this time.
Cas and E are streaming it right now. They seem to be having a lot of fun
How’s everyone liking it so far? Only got to play fire a few hours Friday, but it seems pretty promising.
Add ViralEnsign_ I’m more than happy to help you run through missions and get some good gear for the Darkzone.
I’m downloading it now, PSN is same as here. Dunno when I’ll be on though lol.
I’m ons PS4. PSN @ Daos_Strange
Anyone on this right now? Took me 5 hours to download on PS4
I’m interested in playing with a squad on PS4. I’m in the mountain time zone if that makes s a difference. I really don’t have any friends on PS4 but would like to make some new ones.
All I can say is ‘Bring it’ and I hope it’s actually a achievable. Never tried bringing players into one instance of the Darkzone then forming another squad.
Actually because you guys are likely to take a crack at it before I will perhaps you can post back in here if you can attack turrets to riot shields to create flame throwing Captain America’s.
Our 4 party team will be out there tomorrow at 6PM PST so by all means jump into the Youtube Stream and we can try some pvp gunsticuffs. We can also use this thread for now to share our thoughts/impressions on the beta and coordinate further.
I don’t know what system you are on but if its PS4 Its looking like I can wrangle a few squadmates and herd them into the Darkzone.
On the other end of spectrum if anyone on the PS4 wants to see if we can organise from 3v3 or 4v4 street fights let me know.
I’ll be playing this all weekend. If anyone wants to group up, let me know. I’ll be running with a few other people here and there. Anyone is welcome to join us.
Awesome!Thank you for sharing!
