Which edition of The Division 2 should you buy?

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 relocates the titular Strategic Homeland Division from New York City to Washington, D.C., but that’s far from the only change Ubisoft made to this post-apocalyptic action RPG sequel. An open beta gave players an early look at the new story; first impressions indicate that The Division 2 expands on the world of The Division, streamlines combat, and refines multiplayer matchmaking.

While the official release date for The Division 2 is March 15, Gold and Ultimate editions include early access to the game beginning at midnight local time on March 12. In addition to the early access period, those editions include some in-game perks. There’s also a few more days to grab pre-order bonuses before the game’s launch. We break down what you’ll get in each edition below.

The Standard Edition is just the base game, which retails for $59.99. Ubisoft confirmed that the first year’s post-launch content will be free to all players, so those who order the Standard Edition will have access to new story content and game modes, including raids.
