Ubisoft has unexpectedly rolled out a 60 FPS performance patch for the original The Division, years after its initial launch.
The franchise has proven to be far more enduring than many initially predicted. The Division cultivated a massive following and earned a successful sequel, though the developers shifted their focus to other ventures following the release of the second installment. While it is now confirmed that development on The Division 3 is underway, the first chapter has just received a surprise technical optimization for modern consoles.
This update specifically targets PlayStation 5 owners, allowing the game to finally run at a smooth 60 FPS. The community has been vocal about requesting such an enhancement for years, and Ubisoft’s decision to drop the patch without any prior announcement caught fans by surprise.
Players are already reporting that the fluid animations and increased responsiveness make revisiting the iconic, snow-covered streets of New York City a far more immersive and enjoyable experience.
