The third-person shooting action game Tom Clancy’s The Division was just released for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 by Ubisoft. The announcement for the game was made back in 2013 at that year’s E3.
The game has already become a massive hit and is currently sitting at the top position at the UK chart. The game is followed by UFC 2 from EA Sports in the second position and Bandai Namco’s Pokkén Tournament in the third.
Other games that are featuring among the top 10 games on the list include- Call of: Black Ops 3, Far Cry Primal, FIFA 16, Grand Theft Auto 5, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, LEGO Marvel Avengers and Forza Motorsport 6.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is also currently Xbox One’s most popular game. The Xbox One popularity chart was recently released and it showed the game sitting at the top position followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5.
The game has set a record for one day sales for any Ubisoft game. A spokesperson for Ubisoft had previously stated that the number of copies of the game that have been sold within twenty-four hours of its launch is more than any other game in the company’s 30-year history.
It also became the biggest first quarter launch in the history of UK. Within a week, the game was able to rake in $330 million on a global basis.
