"The Division's" beta launches today for Xbox One and on Friday for PlayStation 4. The beta release is normally designed for people who have pre-ordered the game. Many fans of "The Division" will be thrilled to hear the good news that it is a way to download the beta in advance and without paying anything. Some inventive PlayStation 4 users have found a method to download the beta demo release right now, without waiting for a download code and for free.
According to the website eurogamer.net, the method requires gamers to pre-order "The Division" then cancel their pre-order after downloading the beta. Gamers still need funds or a card to make the pre-order, but the method ensures they won't be charged and no money spent. Eurogamer.net tested the method and it really works. However, it is unclear yet if this could work for PlayStation store regions outside of the UK.
Here is what you need to do: the first step is to load on your PS4 the PlayStation Store. Then search for "The Division" game and select the option "Pay Now". Look for the beta version of the game and download it to your PS4 device. Now go to Settings, look for the Transaction History and cancel your pre-order transaction. This way you will be able to download "The Division" beta version but no money will be taken.
According to the specialized gaming website gamerant.com, "The Division" is a game that will be forever compared to "Destiny" because it's continuing the FPS/MMO hybrid style launched in 2014 with "Destiny's" release. "The Division" keeps on this path even if it might be trying some new things. As a concept, it is a game similar with "Destiny" but with different aesthetic choices and in a different setting. Before the game's full release, the beta demo will answer a lot of questions of the fans.
