The Division 1.7 update: PS4 and Xbox One release times and patch notes revealed
The studio have confirmed that The Division 1.7 update is on schedule to arrive today.
Maintenance has been scheduled for August 15 at 08:30 AM BST / 03:30 AM EDT / 12:30 AM PDT, on all platforms.
However, the game is going to be down for quite sometime on PS4, Xbox One and PC, meaning a further wait to actually play the new content.
Maintenance will last around three hours, meaning that The Division 1.7 should go live at around 11:30 AM BST.
There’s always the chance that something could wrong during launch, so fans should be prepared if maintenance goes over schedule.
One of the big additions coming in The Division 1.7 will be the launch of the first outbreak event, which comes with its own rewards.
The game’s first outbreak run will start today, running from August 15 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST until August 22.
A message from Ubisoft explains: “The first Global Event, Outbreak, will be available when Update 1.7 is live, plus or minus an hour or two.
"The available Classified sets from this event are Deadeye, Final Measure, and Lone Star.
“Based on player feedback, Outbreak’s Contamination has been tuned down as well. Don’t forget the NinjaBike Backpack is in the general loot pool for 1.7.”
Outbreak adds extra headshot damage and a toxic effect to Cleaner attacks, with the idea that all enemy factions are afflicted with a disease.
This has been tested on the game’s PTS, where a number of other changes have also been worked on.
