The beta for The Division, which was to launch on Xbox One first, has been delayed until the new year. It has been replaced with an alpha, which will be exclusive to the Xbox One, which will launch on December 9th with the full beta for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, arriving in early 2016.
So the Xbox One exclusive thing has gone and is now replaced by an Xbox One exclusive thing just with a different name. I think Ubisoft PR may be trolling us.
The Division Beta planned for December will now take place in early 2016. However, we’re excited to announce that players who preordered the Xbox One version will have priority access to an exclusive closed Xbox One alpha testing phase, taking place from December 9 to 12. Those of you on the waitlist for the Xbox One alpha may be granted access on an as needed basis. In addition, players who pre-ordered the Xbox One, PS4, or PC version of The Division will have access to a closed beta on their respective platforms in early 2016.
The alpha will be NDA’d and will begin December 9 at 10 AM CET and will end December 12 at 9AM CET. Download codes will be sent out on December 7th.

Hmmmm, another red flag.
I’ll be waiting until I read at least 5 full reviews before committing any cash to this title.

Got a message on PSN, it’s Showing as completely blank on the PS3 though, no code.

Hmm, downgrading it from a Beta to an Alpha test surely isn’t a good sign, but we’ll just have to see how it goes…

With Alpha they can say alot will change in the final release. I’m still holding out hope for this one.

Typically after being given an Alpha code by JustTaylorNow I ended up getting an Alpha code for the game through my email today. Anyone interested in a spare code?
