- The Division Resurgence launched on Steam on August 5, 2026.
- Since then, classic Division fans have been slamming the game, with some labeling it as "slop."
- The free-to-play shooter was initially launched on March 31, 2026, on iOS and Android.
The Division Resurgence left its mobile roots and arrived on PC with Ubisoft Connect early this year. Fast forward to August 5, 2026, the game finally arrived on Steam, opening to poor reception and negative reviews from players.
After the game launched on Steam, players went as far as slamming the game outright and said, “Calling it slop disrespects actual slop.” Furthermore, following a horrible launch day with Mostly Negative reviews on Steam right after launch, The Division Resurgence’s rating has recovered a bit, but it still sits at only 46% positive reviews.
With over 1500 user reviews and a less than 50% approval rating, things are not looking good for the game. The majority of players who are quite disappointed are among OG fans of Tom Clancy games like Splinter Cell, who tried out The Division Resurgence and further slammed its greedy microtransaction practices.
One such player calls The Division Resurgence a “complete ass game.” They further explain, “Balancing is the main issue, as well as loot progression,” and “the game scales the XP and rewards down hard.”
Apart from its microtransactional nature, players also reported login issues, janky UI, and buggy movements as some of the reasons behind the game’s negative reviews. Ubisoft has previously experienced massive backlash from gamers after claiming microtransactions make single-player games “more fun.”
The Division Resurgence has only seen an all-time peak of 4,117 players at launch. In comparison, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has performed strongly enough to reportedly make Ubisoft rethink its approach to its upcoming games.
The mobile version of The Division Resurgence, meanwhile, has been received much more positively when it launched back on March 31, 2026. The game currently holds a 4.6 rating on the Play Store across 96,000 reviews.
The stark difference between the mobile and PC reception highlights the challenges of bringing a game designed around mobile hardware and controls to PC.
