The Division Resurgence, the free-to-play mobile off-shoot, is now on Steam and players are confused and a little miffed
Eurogamer.net • • technology
Key Points:
- The Division Resurgence, a free-to-play loot shooter from Ubisoft, launched on iOS and Android in March, followed by a PC early access release on Ubisoft Connect in April, and a Steam release last week with minimal promotion.
- Player reception on Steam has been mixed, with criticism focused on its mobile design poorly translating to PC, free-to-play mechanics limiting loot access, and overall gameplay dissatisfaction.
- The game has seen low player engagement on Steam, peaking at just over 4,100 concurrent players at launch, while Ubisoft continues to support The Division 2, which remains popular and recently broke its all-time concurrent record.
- Resurgence is based largely on the original Division's New York map and was initially expected in 2024, but delayed; many players suggest sticking to the original Division or Division 2 for a better experience.
- Ubisoft has been notably quiet about The Division 3 since its 2023 announcement, despite the departure of creative director Julian Gerighty, though the company assures fans that development is ongoing with a strong commitment to the franchise's future.
