The Division’s video performance menu is exactly the same as it was found in the beta

Ubisoft Entertainment SA’s (OTCMKTS:UBSFY) The Division went into full release recently and so far, the game has received a massive chunk of audience from the MMIO community. As we dive deep into Manhattan to conquer the unknown threat that is out there, there is one small detail that everyone might have forgotten.

A month or so earlier, The Division’s dev revealed in a statement that players of the game on Sony Corp.’s (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Xbox One are not only going to be able to alter the visual performance settings in the game, but will also be able to choose between better frame rates and visual quality. The beta, however, did not include any such setting and we expected the final game to have the said changes; but as it turns out, that is not the case.

The PlayStation 4 version of the game has no extra settings for visuals and frame rates. When the game was released, many players dived deep into the video settings only to find that the menu is exactly the same as it was found in the beta. At first, we thought that this might be isolated to the PlayStation 4; but reports around the internet showed that the Xbox One video settings menu is exactly the same as the PlayStation 4.

We do not know if these settings are actually planned to be added to the console versions but the statement from the dev tried to pitch the game’s superiority over others when they said that there was no other game that does this. That being said, there might be something in the near future game update for the Division that could enable the said settings. All we can do is wait to see if Ubisoft keeps its word and adds the settings, since MMO games are sometimes very dependent on better frame rates.

The Division is now available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
