Publisher Ubisoft has opened a waiting list for players who want to be among the first to play The Division beta when it first launches on Xbox One in December.

The sign-up website, found here, explains that the first beta will be a timed exclusive for Microsoft's home console, with PC and PlayStation 4 betas earmarked for "early 2016". This timed exclusivity deal was announced during Microsoft's E3 2015 press conference.

Ubisoft has warned that there are "a limited number" of access codes available for the three system betas. To guarantee a spot on any platform, customers will need to pre-order the game. A guide to signing up can be found here.

Tom Clancy's The Division is a four-player online co-op shooter set in an apocalyptic New York. The game is in development at four separate Ubisoft studios, and is set for release in March 2016.
