The Division’s beta this weekend set new records for beta traffic on a new IP on current generation system. All in all, 6.4 million people took part over the weekend on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The number trounces Destiny’s previously held beta record of 4.6 million, albeit with the knowledge that Destiny came out much earlier in the console’s lifespan and did not appear on PC at all. It also doesn’t come close to the 9.5 million that played Star Wars Battlefront during its beta.
The average time played was nearly five hours, with a third of the total play time spent in the Dark Zone, the open combat area where players can freely kill each other over powerful loot. The Division releases March 8th.
