"Tom Clancy's The Division" has ben delayed several times over the past few years but developer Ubisoft has confirmed that the game is coming out this year. To further prove this point, the company has announced the schedule for the open beta as well as announcing the game's total file size.

As per IGN, the initial size for the beta download, at least for the Xbox One, is set at 27 GB. The final version of the game is said to be only 5 GB larger, which would make the full game a 32 GB installation. It is likely that this will be roughly the same for the PS4 and PC ports of the game.

However, fans are quick to point out that the PC port may be larger, with an estimated 40 GB installation size, given that the PC version may be open for higher graphical settings and other ugprades that would increase the required file allocation space. This may even increase with the inclusion of mods and later patches.

Ubisoft's official page for "Tom Clancy's The Division" also announced that the open beta will launch starting Feb. 19 and will run until Feb. 21. However, Xbox One players will be granted early access and will allow to begin their open beta experience a day earlier. 

Players on all platforms will be able to pre-load the open beta starting Feb. 16. This means they will be able to download the beta version of the game on Feb. 16 and have it installed immediately. This ensures players will not have to wait several hours when the open beta launches, allowing players to quickly begin playing.

The announcement also clarifies that the developers have addressed the problem of multiple cheaters who ruined the experience during the closed beta. Resolutions to prevent further cheating will be implemented in the game as it launches.

"Tom Clancy's The Division" will launch for the Xbox One, PC and PS4 on March 8.
