The Division Receives PS5 Update as Version 1.23 and It Improves Performance
Agents still braving the streets of New York in the first The Divison game, Ubisoft has a sweet little surprise, as the developers have rolled out a surprise update, which makes the game available on PS5.
Players will see this update appear as The Division version 1.23, and while there’s no new story content or anything of the sort, it does make the game perform better.
The Division PS5 Update Released
According to Ubisoft, the PS5 version offers enhanced performance as it can now output at 60 frames-per-second. This is about it, as there are no new story content released or any new graphical settings added.
Mind, we’re not expecting any, and we’re surprised the game even got an update in the first place given the first Division was released almost 10 years ago in 2016.
If you’re unfamiliar with the game, the official description reads, “Tom Clancy’s The Division is a 2016 online-only action role-playing video game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. It was released on 8 March for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is set in a near future New York City in the aftermath of a viral pandemic; the player, a Special Agent of the Strategic Homeland Division, is tasked with helping the group rebuild its operations in Manhattan, investigate the nature of the outbreak, and combat criminal activity in its wake. The Division is structured with elements of role-playing games, as well as cooperative and player versus player online multiplayer. This game also marked the debut of Massive and Ubisoft’s Snowdrop game engine.”
While the first game in the franchise might not be getting any new pieces of content, the sequel, The Division 2, is still getting a lot of support. Not only did we get the big Y7S3 Mutiny update this month, but there is a big “Survivors” project in the works, which we should hear more about next year.
