The PC version of The Division 2 is already in the news for switching to the Epic Games Store over from Steam with a surprise announcement. But, that doesn"t mean the PC version"s optimization efforts are lacking, with Ubisoft going on to detail the platform-specific features and the official system requirements.
The developer, Massive Entertainment, has partnered with AMD for optimizing the title, implementing technologies like asynchronous compute for better frame rates.
Support for multi-monitor and ultra-widescreen setups, monitors with variable refresh rates (FreeSync), uncapped frame rates, were also confirmed. These come in addition to 4K and above resolution as well as HDR support, along with complete HUD and UI customization options.
