If you’re craving a looter shooter on PS4 or PS5 but tired of the usual suspects like Destiny 2, The Division 2 might just be worth your attention right now. Ubisoft’s shooter from 2019, which had a shaky start, is currently discounted on the PlayStation Store as part of a PlayStation Plus-exclusive sale, including all its DLCs.
The game didn’t exactly set the world on fire when it launched, but Massive Entertainment continued to tweak and update it over the years. That dedication paid off, the player base stuck around, and the game improved substantially. The recent Battle of Brooklyn DLC added fresh missions and new locations, wrapping up what’s likely the last major premium expansion for the title.
The Division 2 launched in 2019 and received mixed reactions. Many assumed it might flame out after a while, but Ubisoft surprised fans with the 2020 Warlords of New York expansion, which revitalized interest. The developers didn’t stop there, continuing to support the game with seasonal updates and new content.
The latest DLC, Battle of Brooklyn, released in May, brought new neighborhoods and activities. Additionally, the update introduced new gear for players with the base game. It’s a nice bonus for those sticking with it. Right now, the Gold Edition, which bundles the base game and both major expansions, is on sale for just $23.99, down from $59.99, but only if you’re an active PlayStation Plus member. The catch? The offer expires on July 1, so if you’re interested, time’s ticking.
Ubisoft’s commitment to this title is clear, especially compared to their other shooters that fizzled out quickly. While The Division Heartland, a free-to-play spinoff, was canceled last year, the main series continues to hold promise. And yes, there’s talk of The Division 3 in development, though details have been scarce lately.
It’s kinda refreshing to see a live service shooter that didn’t just fade away after launch. The Division 2’s journey is a reminder that persistent support can turn things around. If you’ve been on the fence about this one, maybe now’s the moment to jump in and squad up to reclaim New York.
