The Division is the fastest-selling game in Ubisoft history
The Division has sold more copies in its first 24 hours than any other game in Ubisoft history, beating the previous record held by Watchdogs.
The publisher didn’t announce any specific sales numbers, but claims it broke records across all three available platforms.
Ubisoft Massive managing director David Polfeldt said the company is “extremely happy” with the successful launch, stating it “represents Ubisoft at its best.”
The Division launched yesterday for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
