Developed by Ubisoft · Published by Ubisoft









After a devastating pandemic, you play as a Division agent working to defend and rebuild Washington, D.C. Hostile factions contest the city while survivors try to hold on.
Take on story missions, side activities, bounties, and encounters across the open world. Fight from cover, use skills such as drones and turrets, and capture control points as factions battle for territory. You can play solo or team up with other agents.
Earn and craft weapons and equipment, then adjust your agent with skills, specializations, and gear builds suited to different approaches. After the main campaign, higher-difficulty missions, world events, and PvP offer further activities and progression.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the cover-based shooting, experimenting with weapons and builds, and exploring a detailed Washington, D.C. Many also value the range of activities and the option to play solo or cooperatively. Common reservations include repetitive endgame grinding, the Dark Zone’s PvP, and complaints about Ubisoft’s launcher, support, or server reliability.

| Multiplayer | The game supports single-player and online multiplayer. Official store information confirms online co-op and online PvP. Reviews describe campaign and missions as playable solo or in co-op, with matchmaking, friend invites, clans, call-for-backup, raids, Dark Zone, Conflict, Incursions, and other group activities. Reviews also state standard teams of 4 and raids of 8. |
| Multiplayer & mods | One review mentions 'new mods' improving the game and co-op, but no provided information explains official mod support or any specific multiplayer impact. Multiplayer mod support is therefore unclear. |
