Now, to give you an idea of how flexible it is on PC, not only can you resize and customize every single user interface, you can also move all of it to a second or third screen if you connect multiple screens.
Inventory management within the game is also considerably easier on PC. You can shift-click multiple items to move them, drag and drop gear into your character, and use pop-ups to compare weapon stats.
Both game controller and mouse and keyboard are implemented well, and what’s more, you can switch between them seamlessly. Voice chat is also fully available.
There’s only one drawback to the PC version as it is; no mod support.
Tom Clancy’s The Division will be released on March 8 on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
