Ubisoft makes Tom Clancy’s The Division free to play until September 8

Ubisoft has announced that it is offering Tom Clancy’s The Division for free until September 7. The game is free to claim on the UPlay digital distribution service.

The Division is structured with elements of role-playing games, as well as cooperative and player versus player online multiplayer.

This is not the first time Ubisoft has offered games for free. In the previous Ubisoft Forward that took place on July 12 the developer gave away Watch Dogs 2 for free during this event. This was limited to PC and not other platforms. At Ubisoft Forward, the developer shared some of the biggest games that it has been working on. The games it talked about include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, the new battle royale Hyper Scape, Far Cry 6, and more.

The company held the event at a time when it has been rocked by personnel changes. According to report, this was a result of a pervasive toxic culture at the company. There were also allegations of misconduct brought against Ubisoft employees. A total of four executives have left Ubisoft since the recent problems began. Ubisoft tweeted hours before the event, that it acknowledges the issues in the company, but won’t be discussing them at the event. And all that is used in the event is pre-recorded.
