Tom Clancy's The Division coming to PC, but Xbox One gets exclusive content

One of the big surprises at E3 this year was Tom Clancy's The Division, Ubisoft Massive's online RPG that looks more like a shooter than a real RPG.

Originally announced for next-gen consoles only, Massive has announced a PC version, citing fan feedback.

Fredrik Rundqvist, executive producer on The Division, explained in a new YouTube video that the PC version of the game will be no mere port. "Massive Entertainment has its roots in PC development, with titles like Ground Control, World in Conflict, you can be certain that we'll provide you with a first-rate PC experience."

So yay, PC gamers will be able to play The Division! Unfortunately, not all of the game, as Ubisoft has also announced "exclusive content" for the Xbox One version of the game. There's no word on exactly what this will entail. Will it tie into the second-screen experience that both Microsoft and Ubisoft seem so keen on? Look at the latest Gamescom trailer to see how all of that works:

      I like that consoles have exclusive games, but this exclusive content stuff just irritates me.

        Maybe somebody will find a way to hack this content and mod it to the PC version.

          Isn't the game strictly online only? That probably rules out hacking/modding content in.

      If this isn't pc vs npc, some ppl are gonna get trashed by others.

      Honestly doesn't look that new or different, just a lot of virtual UIs like a typical Ubi game.

        The E3 trailer suggested it would have both PvE and PvP stuff.

      I am happy about this announcement, but I am saddened a bit by the exclusive content nonsense. I hope the exclusive content is just a timed exclusivity.

      That game is the reason I pre-ordered a PS4. That and Naughty Dog.

      This is big news! I don't normally give much of a shit about military FPS games, but the E3 demo for this just looked incredible.

      So if you're into PvP you better have a friend who wants to play on a mobile device or be at a disadvantage it seems.

          I fucking love World in Conflict. They created such an incredible experience and really defined your role in the game. I need to play it again some time.

      This is the news I've been waiting for! UNF! The E3 demo had me drooling... and also pissed that they didn't announce it for PC then.
