The Division 2 servers are offline for maintenance on Aug. 26, and Ubisoft says the downtime will last about 4.5 hours – longer than the usual three-hour window. The work is server-side only so that players won’t need a client download, according to Ubisoft’s post on X.

The developer says the update is server-side. Ubisoft added that the update “includes backend infrastructure improvements that won’t be visible to players,” so you shouldn’t see gameplay-related changes or need to download a patch.
There wasn’t a prior announcement for this particular window, so some players may be surprised when servers go down without the usual heads-up. If anything about the outage changes, we’ll update readers.
