If you've been looking forward to digging into the upcoming beta for The Division on PlayStation 4, we'd advise redeeming your code as soon as you possibly can. Why? Well, mainly, it's because it doesn't care much for your spare hard drive space: all in all, the beta will set you back around 28GB. Oof.
As you've probably guessed, the beta is available to download now as long as you've got a pre-order code that can be redeemed on the PlayStation Store. Of course, this also means that some of you will potentially be downloading data for hours upon hours, but it's worth mentioning that the beta doesn't actually begin until the 29th January. In other words, you've got about three days at the time of writing to get it downloaded and ready to play. Let's hope that it's worth it.
Are you off to grab the beta now? Have you already downloaded it? Put that PS4 in rest mode and then come back to tell us that you're sorted in the comments section below.

28GB! Bloody nora! What's in there - the freakin' full game?
@get2sammyb The full game and a bloody nora.
Has anyone in the US actually gotten their beta key yet?
Great now can I get my code please
ok found it u have to go to uplay and u get ur code
I got my pre order code so now I'm waiting for ubisoft to bother sending my PSN code.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi got an extra one you don't mind emailing? i know some game include friend codes, etc.
Is the Beta currently available for download in EU only?
I'm not preordering a game I have no idea if it's worth it. I did sign up to be on the waiting list but if Ubisoft wants to force people to preorder and not allowed the public to sample game then oh well.
@WanderingBullet @Zanao @Bad-MuthaAdebisi got to this website https://account-uplay.ubi.com/en-GB/action/login login then got to the beta acces section and ur code will be there
@SKC_Diamond i don't see it in there
@porhawj2016 did u sign up for it and it might be for eu region at the moment
@SKC_Diamond Thanks, but I'm on US account and it seems like the link you gave me is for the EU Beta.
EDIT: I changed the "en-GB" to "en-US" and got the access key from the US site. Will try to download the Beta later. Thanks for the link, man.
@SKC_Diamond i don't live in UK, i live in USA
@WanderingBullet its allguds man glad to help its stupid ubisoft made it so complicated a simple email would have been fine.
@porhawj2016 try and do the same thing that wandering bullet did if that didn't work then I don't know what's happing sorry.
I got a code from Amazon and used it on the Division beta sign up page, guess I'm just waiting on a PSN code from Ubisoft still. Tried logging into uplay but thre's nothing under the beta section.
If you redeem your beta code then you can't cancel your preorder if you decide you don't like the game, right? I'm under the impression this happens to a lot of people.

Not sure if this is any help or not.
Just downloaded mine, it's in the free to play section of the PSN store in the uk if you got it from PSN.
@SKC_Diamond nope. It ain't in there, I pre ordered gold edition, if they don't give me a code I'll be cancelling, I can't stand incompetence.
@wittypixel just one code unfortunately
i pre ordered from the PSN in the US few weeks ago but i see no download for the beta. maybe it will be there later on today in the US
I certainly won't be pre-ordering this game. I have too many reservations over it at the moment to even consider buying at launch (or soon after). I have put my name down on the waiting list for the Beta but if I don't get in, then I will definitely be waiting for reviews etc before I consider buying.
No sight of beta on PSN UK
I ain't had the E-mail yet with my code. I've gotta wait for that from ubisoft first!! Then I will be straight onit 😀
@Ewflex cancel preorder after beta
The Beta is there in the EU/UK PSN store but can not be downloaded
Has anyone actually been able to start the download?
I tried to download the Beta using the Access Key earlier but got an error saying the code was invalid. Gonna try redeeming it again tomorrow.
It is times like this I am REALLY glad I have a fiber optic broadband. 28GB = estimated download time of 1hr. Thanks to @SKC_Diamond for pointing out how to find the beta access code. Bring on the 29th!
When I am actually able to dowdload will take me 28 hours welcome to the broken promises of high internet speed.
@dryrain I feel your pain. The internet I used to have was an utter joke.
I just read an article that it can be downloaded 48 hours before the beta starts so that would be tomorrow. Xbox with early access starts on the 28th so presume they can download it now.
I was totally hyped about this game at its E3 reveal..... then I kinda forgot about it. Then they re-hyped me with the most recent trailer release..... but when I saw the gameplay videos and the bullet sponge brute enemies..... they lost me. Hoped that there might be be some finesse to this game. I love the setting but with concerns about it being another Destiny (repetitive albeit good mechanics and a weak/non existent narrative) I'm certainly not going to be an early adopter.
@sij_a so what turned you off about the game? Please provide some detail impressions.
@SKC_Diamond finally turned up this afternoon, gof it from that link you sent, uplay still ain't emailed me, useless. Thanks.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi its alguds man its stupid they sent them out this way thou
@dryrain @Thegn_of_Mercia glad to help my internet is really slow to man my average it 512 kbs a second the beta took about 35 hours to complete luckily it dosent start till a few days
@get2sammyb what's a bloody Nora....?
I hope this gets opened up to the public later like other beta testing in the past.
@Alpha Probably a British thing?

@SKC_Diamond
Hey dude, sorry to bother you but you wouldn't happen to have anymore of those codes you could share would you ?
That's odd, that code was invalid simply because they sent me an EU code instead of a code for the US region. When I check earlier, apparently I've registered for the Beta Access for both regions which is odd considering I've only got one UPlay account.
@WanderingBullet make a eu psn then redeem and download the beta on that account
@mike390 nah sorry dude I got my code last year in a giveaway from this guy I thinks hes still giving out a lot of codes https://twitter.com/TheBroManHQ
@SKC_Diamond Yeah, I actually do own an EU account. Thats how I found out that the code they had sent me was for EU. > <
Just started the download looks like my console will be on standby all day and night.
Got my code, and it downloading now.. UK account...
Can't wait to read some of your impressions. Maybe you beta guys could start a thread on the forum!
@dryrain yup downloaded last night
@Ewflex sorry I meant, you can cancel the preorder after the beta if you ain't happy about it. I'm looking forward to it. Tom Clancy games are usually epic!
@Thegn_of_Mercia @dryrain nice, took me 4 hours ish to download.
Sweeeeet... going to download when I get in after work, my evenings all weekend are sorted, gf better not of made plans for me in my absence -_-
@sij_a After YEARS of being lied to and cheated out of decent internet by Orange/EE, as soon as fiber optic came to my area I signed up with BT Infinity and can honestly say I have never had a single problem with them. The state of "high speed internet" is a joke in the UK, it is a total lottery as to the speed and quality in your are. I don't know what it is like in other countries, I hope they have it better.
@Ewflex ok thanks. I don't like preordering anything out of coercion. The beta should be free so they can stress test the game with as many people as possible. Battlefront is the most rock solid MP I can recall ever playing and love the gameplay. I don't care what people think about it being thin content. What the game has is great.
I am starting to not like Ubisoft AAA games anymore. Rainbow 6 was a broken game based on many reviews. I couldn't even get into the beta where it would never get me into a match and would just go blank on the screen. So I don't care how good a game can be I need reliable service.
@Thegn_of_Mercia yeah totally agree. I'm with Sky myself, it is ok, rarely have issues, but pretty sure I ain't getting the max speed I should be getting. Suppose each ISP delivers varying quality of internet depending on area. Need to find out who's the boss of your area (which you probably have).
@Ewflex yeah, I get you, they should definitely be stress testing with as many people as they can get but seems like this is the way the gaming world is moving. Hopefully they open the beta later. I played the beta of rainbow 6, was shockingly terrible few days before release, but I got the full game few weeks after for cheap and less issues now
@sij_a rainbow six game is too heavily relied on chatting online. Battlefront doesnt need to have voice chat and it is still fun. Voice chat is cool and I prefer to talk with team mates but too many guys act like they are mute online. I guess they are afraid of those who act stupid online. I just made friends on battlefront after playing 50 plus hours.
