Ubisoft celebrates its sixth birthday in his almost already stalled loot shooter The Division 2 and is generous. Gifts are distributed vigorously. Players can level five times faster than normally. This is good for the number of players on Steam and the number of spectators on Twitch. The Division 2 has not had as many players on Steam as now.
What’s going on at The Division 2? A lot comes together in The Division 2. You celebrate the 6th birthday and Ubisoft distributes some gifts:
From March 11th to March 18, a “global event” runs for a week, in which each player earns five times as many experience points as usual.
There are also some gifts: for example a special birthday backpack.
In addition, “Twitch Drops” are active that gives players special rewards if they watch them on Twitch people who have activated these drops for a total of 3 hours a week. As a special price there is a Universal Weapon Skin
In addition, The Division on Steam is still on the special offer: the game is down to € 7.50. For € 10.78 you get The Division 2 and the very good first part on top.
In the video for the 6th birthday, the first pictures of the new DLC show:

The number of players of The Division 2 almost no longer in 2 years
That has this effects: The number of players on Steam rose by about 33 %. At the top you reached 6,820 players, so many were last had in May 2023.
On Twitch, the number of spectators has increased by 89 % in the past 3 days. In Germany, for example, Charlescineaurant streams the shooter, has an average of 640 spectators and reached a peak of 1,023.
Massive celebrates 6 years “Incredible trip by The Division 2”
That is behind it: The developers of Massive make a big number from the birthday and explain how well the game runs and how loyal the fans are. You have to lift your eyebrows about that.
The Division 2 made the mistake of practicing the development a few years ago so that the team had time for Hollywood films such as Avatar and Star Wars. The Division 2 has never recovered properly again.
The franchise should continue, but the Division 2 has been in a kind of maintenance mode for many years. The game came on Steam very late, so the numbers there are not very meaningful.
One can probably assume that the maximum 6,800 players who play The Division 2 on Steam today are only a fraction of the players who played the game for the release 6 years ago: So it is about The Division 3, the unpopular stepchild from Ubisoft
