The Division Beta first on Xbox One, Alpha exclusive to Xbox One as well

　　The recently released Alpha for the game was exclusive to Microsoft’s console as well, and it seems that Microsoft made some sort of exclusive deal with Ubisoft regarding the title.

　　A few weeks ago, The Division was rated by the ESRB, and received a M rating for ‘Mature’. Hidden in the rating’s description though, were some interesting details on the game. I the rating is correct, The Division will feature hostage rescue missions. Aside from rescue missions, cutscenes also seem to be a part of Ubisoft’s upcoming title.

　　On top of that, the French Ubisoft Blog revealed, that the Brooklyn area will be exploreable in the game.

　　The Division is scheduled for a release on March 8 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
