In The Division, the release date for patch 1.4 is known: Next week, it will be available for download on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The State of the Game is still ongoing today, but they announced the launch date for update 1.4 right at the beginning:
October 25, 2016. This will be Tuesday next week.
Maintenance work will occur beforehand, likely from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. From 12:30 PM, the new player experience can begin, provided there is a preload.
The patch size will be around 6 GB depending on your platform, but more precise details will follow in the near future.
The update 1.4 will be available for free on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
We will update this article if more exciting information is announced in the livestream.

Update – More information in the live ticker:
The note is important that update 1.4 will be released simultaneously on all platforms. We mention this here to avoid confusion. The Survival DLC will be released later this year initially on Xbox One and PC.
The developers state that it is a great relief for them that update 1.4 has finally been completed. A lot of work has gone into it.
For the developers, there are two important changes: World Tiers and the “Time to Kill. Everyone, hopefully, will be happy about the latter as it greatly enhances the player experience. You will feel more powerful and no longer be at a disadvantage against any random enemy.
Massive thanks the passion with which the agents approached the PTS phase. They were overwhelmed by the feedback.
Assault rifles are supposed to feel good and “powerful” again.
There are still no concrete details about Survival today.
The Dark Zone, the PvP area, will be adjusted in the future. With 1.4, they want to observe the new meta and wait for the data on how agents play in the Dark Zone. Then they will respond in a future update.
They are looking into how “hardcore” the hardest activities can and must be in the future to meet the needs of hardcore players. The Division should not become too easy either. There is a joke about a “Super-Mega-Heroic” mode. However, with update 1.4, the goal is to get The Division back to being “healthy” and leave the major issues of the past behind.
The “Double XP” weekends will not be available immediately at launch.
The developers recommend farming all possible currencies until the release.
So, that was it with the livestream.
Are you excited for 1.4?
