How to Play Division 2 Early & All Division 2 Early Access Times

Recommended Videos

Ubisoft‘s The Division 2‘s official release date isn’t until this Friday (March 15), but who wants to wait that long to dive into Ubisoft’s loot shooter? It’s possible to play The Division 2 early, but you’ll need to know how, and the early access times to boot. Here’s how to play The Division 2 early and all Division 2 early access times.

How You Can Get Division 2 Early Access

If you want to hop into the shoes of your Agent and get playing The Division 2 right now, you’ll need to have preordered or purchase one of the following editions of the game:

  • Gold Edition
  • Ultimate Edition
  • Purchase the game on PC via Uplay (only in certain territories).

As you can see, the early access to The Division 2 is tied behind the pricier versions of the game. However, if you pick up The Division 2 via Uplay on PC, you’ll be able to get early access if you live specifically in the Pacific time zone or in the UK. We’ve broken down these early access times down below.

What the Early Access Times Are

Ubisoft has provided the images below, breaking down the preload and start times for The Division 2. As you can see, the Standard Edition of the game has no early start time really outside of its March 15 release date.

However, you already knew that was going to be the case. Let’s take a look at the Gold and Ultimate edition early access times instead.
