Xbox One owners of Ubisoft's highly anticipated open world shooter Tom Clancy's The Division will gain access to the game'e first two expansion packs 30 days before they are offered to their PC and PlayStation 4 counterparts.
Ubisoft also offered a brief description of those two expansion packs;
"Underground, the first paid expansion, puts Agents in New York's labyrinthine underworld of tunnels and subways to track down groups of dangerous enemies. Survival, the second paid expansion, tests players' ability to survive and gather crucial supplies in an incredibly hostile environment.
A third paid expansion pack, called The Last Stand, will be released for all of The Divisions's platforms at the same time "next winter". In addition, players can download two free DLC packs to the game:
The first of these updates, Incursions features a challenging end-game activity that rewards squads with high-level loot, if they're successful. Incursions also introduces some new features, including loot trading between squad mates. The second free update, Conflict adds new Dark Zone features and a special incursion into New York's iconic Columbus Circle.
Tom Clancy's The Division is due for release on Tuesday, March 8.

The Division's first two expansions coming to Xbox One 30 days before other platforms
I don't see how this "Exclusive" stuff helps anyone? I think people choose consoles or PC because they like the one they choose, not because some content comes 30 days before others. I myself are Playstation/PC gamer and I don't hate Xbox I like it a lot, it's just that I prefer to these machines. It's just shame how gaming industry is spinning around money like a stripper.
Never have I been so disappointed with a game after being hyped for so long. Very mediocre gameplay. All been done before. Gutted
Really this the most disappointed you've been in a game? Where were you for Assassins Creed Unity, Destiny and nearly every console launch title?
What did you dislike about the beta?
Very mundane. It's all been done before, and better.

I didn't play the Beta. Wish I did because I love realistic shooters and could have verified if it met my qualifications. COD jumped the shark with advanced warfare and BF4 with Hardline. Hope this solves my problem.
Don't think this game qualifies as 'realistic shooter'.
"could of"? What does that mean? Did you mean "could've" or, "could HAVE"? If you have a beef with something and want to voice an opinion, at least make your statements worth reading.
There, fixed it for you. Amazing how much someone can get their angry on in a web forum over grammar.
In the future as more "AAA" games come to the Windows Store we might see exclusives like this stretch to "Xbox on PC" too.
Would be one more way to differentiate between buying your PC games from Microsoft vs Steam.

I'll be on at midnight.
So pumped for this game. A little annoying all the exclusive crap on the Xbox tho. A whole month delay on ps4 for expansion packs sucks
It really does suck. I'm getting this on Xbox but this whole delay everyone else from playing the dlc for a month isn't great.

Yeah I have an Xbox one but most of my mates are getting it on ps4. So getting it on ps4 given it's more of a team game. A week exclusive maybe, but a month is just insane
Whats up with the Xbox preference? 1 Day early beta okay I get it but really? 30 day early access?
It's all about the $$$. At least it's not a year early like Destiny's content is on the PS4
Wow that sucks!
So the third expansion is not out until Winter 2017? Man, that's a LONG wait, and doesn't speak well of the game for me. I gave up on WoW over the long waits between content, and this could be a similar issue for The Division. It definitely makes me glad they sold out of the Gold Edition with the Season Pass, because I might have bought it. Let's just hope they handle DLC releases better than Destiny, because I really liked the gameplay of this one in the alpha and beta.
It's Winter 2016. IE the next winter... as it still is technically winter right now, tho we are enjoying some 60 degree weather here. SOO NICE.
Love it. The game is still not out and they are selling you DLC already.
Oh buddy can not wait to jump into this game!
I was all stoked to buy/play TCTD, but I heard/read that a singleplayer campaign is pretty much non-existant. Need to find out for sure, tho'.
There is a single player game. There are areas that include multiplayer (think Destiny), but in the Beta it seemed like you could stay "offline" 100% of the time. I could be wrong though....
Well, if there is a single player/solo-friendly-ish game inside and it's NOT like Destiny (what a disappointment that was) then I may bite and buy it tomorrow nonetheless.
Destiny had a lot wrong with it (IMO). I know people love the heck out of it, but I got bored very fast. This game seems to have taken a different approach. When you first enter the game (at least in the betas), you are in a common area and see other players moving around. Once you leave that basecamp you are in single player and only see other players that are partied with you. You can solo or co-op the single player campaign. Only when you go back to base camps (I assume there will be more than one) or the Dark Zone, do you see other player. As far as I could tell with the beta at least.
Looks like a generic, run-of-the-mill, brown/beige broshooter. It's expected that a game like this will neglect single player sadly.
I would not call it "run-of-the-mill". I love the cover system and the game play felt really tight. The open world map looks huge.
I'll trust your judgment.
I didn't mean to dismiss what you said. I just read run-of-the-mill and reacted :). Though I still believe it is far from your standard mediocre shooter. Super stoked!
Nothing dismissive about it, you know more about it than I do.
I especially enjoyed the dark zone. That's where I got the majority of my enjoyment actually. The tension of the super-buff AI mixed with the constant threat of humans turning on you, especially in the extraction areas.
I agree. When you see another team cautiously working towards (you have no idea why) that is an awesome dynamic to the game play. I got into some super intense firefights in the dark zone in beta 2. I was a little hesitant in beta 1. When beta 2 launched I ran there right away!
That's because you are colorblind and use a stupid term like "broshooter" to describe anything and everything with a gun in it, all while paying no attention to the actual content of the game.
I can confidently say that you sadly haven't played the Open Beta, sir! The game is addictive, even from a single player perspective. Add to that the seamless transition to PvP in the Dark Zones, and pretty good PvP at that, and there goes your summer! ;)

Glad I read your comment because I've not read into any of the hype, but did think it looked like a decent single player game - I didn't realise there was a larger focus on multiplayer.
I'll probably wait until after my upcoming trip - Should have finished Tomb Raider by then,
