It looks like it was unavoidable. Tom Clancy’s The Division will have some Day 1 patch fixes after the game launches next week. Ubisoft confirmed the news today and revealed the full patch notes on the game’s official website. To be fair, these fixes are based on community feedback from the game’s open beta session from last month, which had over six million players.
