The Division beta extended by 24 hours so waitlist players can have a go

The Division beta will not end on schedule. Hooray!

Closed beta testing for The Division has been extended by 24 hours, Ubisoft has announced.

Servers will now be available through 12:01pm CET/6:00am EST/3:00am PST on Tuesday.

According to a post on the Ubisoft forums, the extension will allow latecomers a decent chance to try the game.

Demand for the beta test was so high that Ubisoft ended up having to limit entry, so that even those who purchased beta entry codes had to be patient.

Luckily it seems the pressure eased or Ubisoft managed to find another couple of severs or two, as the publisher was later able to open the beta to a significant number of waitlisters.

The Division launches in March on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
