La pagina ufficiale Twitter di The Division ha annunciato l’arrivo del PTS (Public Test Server) per la Stagione 11, che dovrebbe uscire col Title Update 17. Come sempre, questo test sarà disponibile solo su PC, per ovvi motivi “logicistici” dovuti dal rilascio delle patch. Ci teniamo anche a ricordare che i progressi fatti nel PTS con i propri personaggi non vengono trasferiti nei server normali del gioco.
Maggiori informazioni sul funzionamento dei PTS si trovano nella pagina dedicata. (NON CI SARÀ UNA FASE 2)
