The Division 2 Gold and Ultimate Edition owners can play 3 days early, pre-order details revealed

Ubisoft has announced all the remaining details about The Division 2's several different editions.

The Division 2's editions include standard, Gold (physical and digital), Digital Ultimate, Collector's Edition, and Phoenix Shield Collector's Edition.

The big news today is that if you go for any edition other than the standard, you'll be able to play the game three days early, on March 12 instead of March 15. Pre-ordering any edition gets you access to the Private Beta, though it's not clear if this is a separate test from the traditional beta.

All players who pre-order also receive the Capitol Defender Pack, which includes two exclusive in-game items available at the start of the game. These are the Lullaby exotic SPAS-12 shotgun, and the Hazmat 2.0 outfit.

In similar way to the Crew 2, the Division 2 also has a season pass. Though the Year One Pass wasn't given a separate price today, it is part of all versions of the game outside of the standard. The pass simply allows holders access to the game's free Year One Content seven days early.

There are also a few other items and additional activities exclusive to Year One Pass holders, but details about these have yet to be revealed.
