On average, players spent an average of 5 hours as activated sleeper agents journeying through The Divisions open world. With 2 average hours spent in the Dark Zone and almost 50% of players going rogue, you demonstrated your love for The Dark Zone, The Divisions unique and challenging player-versus-player environment. Fun fact: over 63 309 800 contaminated items were successfully extracted out of the Dark Zone.
Were very grateful so many of you tried the game and started to take back New York City ahead of the games release on March 8th. Thanks so much to the millions who joined The Divisions Beta, we hope everyone enjoyed playing the game as much as we enjoy making it. See you early March in New York City, Agents!
