The Division DLC Comes to Xbox One 30 Days Before PS4 - Report

Xbox One players get a 30-day headstart.

79 Comments

Back in 2014, it was confirmed that The Division's DLC would launch first on Xbox One. However, at the time, the duration of the exclusivity period was not mentioned. Now, a new video from GameStop suggests that Xbox One players will get a 30-day headstart over other platforms for The Division's DLC.

A GameStop sales associate says in the video above that The Division DLC will come to Xbox One "30 days before Sony," referencing the PlayStation 4. However, it's unclear when PC players will get access to The Division's expansions.

GameSpot has followed up with Ubisoft in an attempt to get more details.

The Division is getting three paid expansions (Underground, Survival, and Last Stand), though Ubisoft has not provided much in the way of specifics about their content or when they will launch. In addition to paid DLC, The Division will welcome free updates that include things like new game modes.

DLC launching first on Xbox One is not the first partnership between Microsoft and Ubisoft for The Division. Last month's closed beta started a day early on Xbox One, while the same will be true for the upcoming open beta. Additionally, Microsoft will release a 1 TB Xbox One bundle for The Division.

Sony has its own major timed-exclusivity deal for Call of Duty, one of the biggest franchises in gaming. All DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops III launches first on PS4 as part of a new arrangement between Sony and Activision. Formerly, Call of Duty expansions arrived first on Xbox platforms.

Don't worry Xbox fans, although you've lost all of your exclusives to PC and Microsoft is shutting down first party studios, you guys get Division DLC 30 days before anyone else. Xbox Won, right?

Look at the daft comments "Didn't Phil Spencer say this .. Didn't see say that" ... Go back and read exactly what he said !! Also keep in mind that this Deal was probably made a year ago .. even longer !!

Didn't Phil said before that he would invest in first party games and not on third party exclusive content anymore?

I own both PS4 and X1. I'm a huge Halo fan yet I love my PS4 a lot more than my X1. I only buy exclusives on X1 and everything else on PS4. Tomb Raider being timed-exclusive on X1 pisses me off for PS4 gamers. Whether or not Street Fighter V will ever come to X1 down the road or not, I think it's BS that it's not on X1. Both games should be on both consoles FROM DAY 1. Bottom line is that timed-exclusive deals suck and are a waste of money from both Microsoft and Sony. I shall PATIENTLY wait the 30 days while I enjoy The Division on PS4 with my friends.

I don't think this is a big deal. The exclusive content that PS4 owners got for Destiny with each season pass release was more annoying. With each expansion there was a strike and weapon that Xbox owners had to wait a year for.

This game is very tempting imo but i must show discipline and wait for the prices of the season pass.
But it seems that its another "just wait till its GOTY" game.

@Mr_Mark_Legion: I think he did but that doesn't mean all the deals they had planned(we won't know all their plans until games launch) would suddenly evaporate. This deal didn't just happen this week and was likely formed before their tomb raider deals. MS could have another year or more of exclusive content before we begin to notice Phil's words going into effect.

@Mr_Mark_Legion: No,he said there will be still exclusive deals but not as much as in the X360 era.
He said he will focus more on their own IPs

It will take at least that long for Ubisoft to fix all the game's bugs.

@Barighm: there are hardly any bugs in alpha and beta, Ubisoft also threw out a patch after the beta with new fixes and alterations because the community had asked for them. The game has performed near perfectly every step of the way..

@flames325: in physical format, yes... for 1 month. Wouldnt it be better to just exclude that ps4 bit? No one should be a fan of this type of business tactic on either console.

@celeritasgamer1: how are they, no microtransactions for a start Ubisoft have vowed that, which can't be said for Activision and bungie and Destiny.. theres the season pass, free download content in the division, also if you get the season pass there will be special events and supply drops, so much to look forward to with this season pass..

still don't understand why these companies hold back DLC from other platforms it was dumb and pointless at the beginning and will be dumb and pointless in the end =/

Also not impressed by The Division so far just another generic TPS really.

@uchihasilver: MS/CD held back an entire game from PS players for a whole year, and even inconvenienced PC players as well. That's just how business works, but a month really is nothing especially when you have other games worth playing.

@uchihasilver: try the open beta once more and see the new changes. Honestly you mite be surprised. I actually loved the alpha and beta. The dark zones also give a new refreshing look on multiplayer unlike the stale modes you see in you every day shooter on console these days, it's about time a developer and publisher actually brought us a pc style PvP mode that is actually good for once..
