The Division's PS4 Beta Deploys on 29th January

Xbox One owners will unlock early access to The Division's beta later this month – but fortunately, you'll only have to wait 24 hours if you plan to play the game on your PlayStation 4. After rumours earlier in the week, Ubisoft has confirmed that the online stress test for its squad-based third-person role-playing shooter (!) will begin on 29th January and run through 31st January.

To garner access to the deceptive demo you'll need to pre-order the game, but don't worry about deposits and stuff – Amazon will get you a code without asking you to put any cash down. There's still no word on what the beta will actually include, but it's safe to assume that you'll have access to a sliver of the game's urban map, as well as a handful of quests to try.
