And, as someone who doesn’t always notice these things, the difference is stark. The core mechanic of moving into cover and taking down enemies feels better than ever. However, at 60 frames per second, naturally, the gameplay feels smoother. Now, could this be due to the unfortunate absence of the above effects? Quite possibly.

Thankfully, The Division 2 doesn’t suffer in the performance department. And as we’ve seen from games like Watch Dogs: Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla - two Ubisoft games that look fantastic on Sony’s new console - this really doesn’t have to be the case.

The features that are missing here were both present in the previous generation, so hopefully we see them return in another update soon.

The PlayStation 5’s visuals are just not up to scratch, not just in comparison to the Xbox Series X but also to the PlayStation 4 version. However, alongside these additions, there are also a few things missing - at least on PlayStation 5. I noticed a significant drop in texture pop-in during my most recent few hours with the game - something that had always dragged me out previously. It’s easier to get immersed in the world now too.
#THE DIVISION 2 UPDATE PATCH#
The torn-up streets and dingy interiors of Washington DC have become so familiar to me, but this patch has brought a new level of vibrancy and subtle level of detail to them, making these already thoroughly developed areas look better than ever before.

#THE DIVISION 2 UPDATE UPGRADE#
Taking advantage of the new hardware to offer an upgrade on the already backwards compatible game is a great move and had me even more excited to jump back into a game that is easily nestled around the top of my most played games list over the past eighteen months.īut how much difference could it make? As it happens, quite a bit. Players on Xbox Series X, Series S and PlayStation 5 (which is where I’m playing) now get to experience the Washington wasteland at 60fps in dynamic 4K resolution - which is what we like to see. Also known as the ‘next-gen’ update to its friends, Patch 12.1 brings with it an additional boost to us Agents playing on new consoles. At the time of writing, specific details about what all of the above may entail remains publicly unknown.The Division 2’s latest update, Patch 12.1, launched earlier this week and, unlike most patches for a live-service shooter, there’s a little more to this one than a few bug fixes. Ubisoft Massive's production crew is leading the charge on these changes, with Ubisoft Bucharest serving in a support role. The revised leveling system should increase " build variety and viability," the publisher teased.

Ubisoft Massive has since deployed three more seasons, a second raid known as Operation Iron Horse, and The Summit PvE mode. Year 2's first season arrived not too long thereafter, setting all Division Agents on a manhunt for rogue colleagues. The Warlords of New York expansion, which launched early in 2020, kicked off the second year of content releases for The Division 2. Such news came alongside word that in lieu of original content, players would have the opportunity to once more run through the offerings featured in the sequel's Year 2.
