At this point, most major live-service games have received some sort of update to take advantage of the Xbox Series X/S and PS5, but Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment’s The Division 2 has been an exception. Thankfully, that changes next week. While The Division 2 won’t be getting a full next-gen port, it will be getting an update in order to run at 4K/60fps via backward compatibility on next-gen consoles. This was confirmed by Ubisoft community manager Johan Lindholm in a response to a fan asking when new The Division 2 intel would be coming…
No State of the Game tomorrow.
TU12.1 releases on Feb 2nd with the Resident Evil Apparel Event, a rebalance of the Optimization Station cost as well as 4K 60 FPS support for next gen consoles.

As mentioned by Lindholm, The Division 2 will also be kicking off a limited-time Resident Evil event next week, which will let players unlock a variety of RE-themed goodies. You can check out a quick trailer for the event, below.
Looks decent, although I’d better be able to do my hair like Leon Kennedy. Here’s a bit more detail about the Resident Evil event:
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is available now on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and can be played via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The Resident Evil content and next-gen upgrade arrives next Tuesday (February 2).
