In a Team Epiphany interview with one of The Division’s developers, the question of whether or not there were any limitations holding back the PC version of the game due to consoles was raised. The unnamed man in the interview responded, “We do have to keep it (the PC version) in check with the consoles – it would be kind of unfair to push it so far away from them.” Though he goes on to mention that the team treats PC as a separate platform, the man did concede that the game’s graphical showcase from its debut at E3 would not be featured in the title upon release.

The Division went on to sell well despite the controversy it accrued with a supposedly downgraded PC port, but the idea remains that the technical showcase revealed at Ubisoft’s E3 conference might have been achievable should the title had released exclusively for PC.
