The Division 2 is Going Free Again this Weekend
The Division 2 is getting another free weekend. Ubisoft announced that you’ll be able to play its pandemic-driven shooter at no cost, from September 24 until September 28. Ubisoft previously hosted a free weekend last October to celebrate the second ‘episode’ of new content, and another in February this year. If you enjoyed your time roaming the streets of Washington D.C. back then but still weren’t ready to take the plunge, Ubi says that your progress will carry over this time around.
If you’re looking to get your hands on The Division 2 and missed your chance the first time, save your coins! Even if you’re not interested, give it a download, we certainly will! You can’t go wrong with free games!
