Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 has eclipsed its own concurrent player record on Steam amid the series’ 10-year anniversary celebrations.
As Eurogamer reports over the weekend, Division 2 saw a massive increase in players on Valve’s PC platform, nearly doubling its previous peak of 14,858 players, and now sits at a new, simultaneous peak of 27,482 players, according to SteamDB.
