  "textContent": "Ubisoft's sharing of a robust roadmap for **The Division 2** extending until 2026 has led to a massive increase in player count on Steam. Before the series' tenth-anniversary celebrations, the concurrent player count, which was around 3,500 on Steam, reached 18,393 in the last 24 hours, breaking its all-time record.\n\nThis 400% increase in just a few days is the clearest indicator of how excited fans are for the future of **The Division 2**. It seems the 2026 roadmap has managed to bring players back to the streets of Washington.\n\n## The Division 2 is Soaring in 2026\n\n**The Division 2** had never reached a very large audience on the Steam platform; the main reason for this was that the vast majority of PC players preferred **Ubisoft** 's own store and launcher. It has been more than three years since the 2019-released MMO-based tactical shooter came to Valve's platform, and the highest figure it had seen in that process was 14,000 for a short time.\n\nHowever, as of yesterday, the game broke its own record with 18,393 concurrent players.\n\nSteam is not the only place where numbers have soared. For the past few days, **The Division 2** has also been making waves on Twitch charts, reaching peaks not seen since 2021. More than 37,000 people were watching simultaneously to see **Ubisoft** 's roadmap announcement.\n\nEven after this major event, viewership numbers continue to remain quite high. With approximately 4,500 viewers at the time of writing, the game has already left last year's triple-digit figures far behind.\n\nIf you are wondering, as we mentioned in the The Division 2 DLC news we shared before, the upcoming content looks truly packed:\n\n  * For the first time, **Crossplay** support is coming.\n  * A new **DLC** is on the way that will take players to Central Park for the first time.\n  * The **Survivors** mode will offer a completely revamped **extraction-survival** experience.\n  * **Classified Assignments** are returning.\n\n\n\nIn these days when **NetEase** is reviewing its international investments and closing some of its studios, **Ubisoft** 's investment in its veteran game in this way has been met with great joy in the community.\n\n**Source:**\n\nhttps://insider-gaming.com/the-division-2-player-count-soar-after-roadmap/\n\n_For the latest_ _gaming guides_ _and_ _system requirements_ _, you can follow GamingAlly on_ _Instagram_ _,__Twitter_ _and Google News._",
