The Division 2 was one of the great releases of four years ago, in March 2019 when it landed for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Since then it has kept a certain community active that has been savoring it with all the updates that the French have been adding to bring it to life. But now, when its influence was not the highest, it has suddenly broken into Steam reaching peaks of players that have placed it among the most trending in the last seven days.
There’s a cat locked up
It must be remembered that Ubisoft, in recent years, has had a somewhat strange game distribution policy on PC. With the launch of his own store (Ubishop), he decided that many of his games were never going to be available on Steam again, which is the store that has kept computers alive during the dark years when nobody on the market gave a hard for the survival of the business. You know, pi-racy and all that stuff.
This measure of not selling on Steam caused those who used the Valve platform to be deprived of large releases, although given the magnitude of the crisis they are going through, it seems that the French have retracted that decision and have returned with the tail between legs It already happened on December 6 with the launch of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Steam, and that happened on January 12 with The Division 2 .
That is the explanation behind this sudden rise of The Division 2 in the ranking of games that are trending on Steam. It’s not close to what giants like CS:GO , DOTA 2 , PUBG, etc. achieve on a daily basis, but it does give an indication of how well it has been received.
The price also helps
That it reaches Steam is obviously decisive for its sudden popularity on PC, but also the offer with which it has arrived and that has brought its price down to barely cost us 10 euros. Specifically 9, compared to the 29.99 that marks the recommended standard version. If you want to take advantage of this discount, you have until January 26 to do so because then things will return to their usual cost.
Remember that The Division 2 marked the return of a franchise that, with the first installment, was somewhat touched by the amount of time it took to launch, the enormous expectations generated in that mythical demo at E3 in 2012, and the many flaws in its initial approach. All this was corrected with its continuation and proof of the successes in the added changes was the success that it has achieved over the last four years and that have helped it land on Steam, seducing those who either tried it in another platform, or they did not know it and have decided to give it a chance so long after.
So now you know. The Division 2 is finally available on Steam , discounted and waiting for you to give it a try if you missed doing it at the time.
