The Division 2: Episode 2 and Title Update 6 arrived earlier this week, and to celebrate the big release, the full game will be free to all players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC now through Sunday, October 20. 

You'll need an active Xbox Live Gold subscription if you want to play on Xbox One, but you can play on PS4 without a PlayStation Plus subscription, though some features will be limited. You're home-free on PC, naturally, though you'll need to install the Epic Games Store if you haven't already. 

Episode 2 and Title Update 6 are the latest in a long line of updates which introduced new story content, character customization options, and miscellaneous quality of life improvements. Episode 2 is tied to the Year 1 pass, but everyone can enjoy all the benefits of Title Update 6. As previously reported, it includes crafting and recalibration changes, improved inventory and stash management, Dark Zone balance and reward changes, Talent and weapon balance changes, and brand set changes which should make character customization more flexible.
