Tom Clancy's The Division is already available for preorder, but Ubisoft Massive, the gaming company that created it, keeps mum on hardware requirements.
Admittedly, this added to the hype surrounding the upcoming post-pandemic open world third-person role-playing title. At the same time, it also frustrated exponents of the "PC Master Race" that don't have the latest rig.
However, information on both the minimum and the recommended PC specs for Tom Clancy's The Division surfaced, thanks to NeoGAF and observant users on Steam. According to the leak, Ubisoft Russia spilled the beans about the necessary hardware configuration for the anticipated open world RPG.
Excited fans of games from the Tom Clancy series should note that the developers of The Division did not confirm the accuracy of these specs, so it is best to take them with a grain of salt for now.
Your rig needs to have at least these options in order to launch the game. Minimum Specs:
OS: Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (64bit only)
CPU: AMD FX 6100 running at 3.3Ghz or Intel i5 2400, clocked at 3.1Ghz
