"Tom Clancy's: The Division" public test server is now online for PC players. The test client file size for them to download has also been revealed by Ubisoft.
The PTS just went live today at 2 pm CEST after it was delayed for a while. The game company wanted more time to include more key elements for the test server.
According to the official website of the video game, the PTS allows players to test the current build of Update 1.4, which will be launched in October. The first few days of testing will be focused on the progression between the World Tiers, they said.
Rather than transferring the players' characters from regular servers, they will be able to create a new level 30 character with purple items right away. The new World Tiers are also zones that have a variety of difficulty, which will be based on their gear score.
According to the official forums of the PTS, players will be able to transfer their characters in the future. While the characters can be transferred, the progress they did on the PTS cannot be transferred back to the main game.
The game company wants the players to give feedback so that they can gather them for future purposes. They will use it to make adjustments when needed. They also want to get impressions from the players on the major adjustments that they have done with this update.
The game company will use the players' feedbacks to crush any critical bug that they need to fix before it goes live in October. They urge the players to give honest feedbacks so that the next update will be better for everyone.
The game company noted that since it is considered as a new game, players will need to download the client entirely, which is about 45 GB. They will need to own a version of the video game on PC. They will find the PTS in their game library listed separately from the main one.
The PTS will be staying open for as long as the game company needs feedback. After enough feedbacks from the players, they will close it again. They will open it again if they have new things they would like to test.
