Reports say that, recently, Ubisoft has added optional microtransactions to several of their games. Developers have been adding microtransactions to their games for those gamers who are lazy to unlock the contents by themselves.

According to the listing on the Dutch PlayStation Store, mentioning the word "optional" means that likely purchases are purely cosmetic and have nothing to do with the gameplay. Developers have been adding microtransactions for cosmetic things like new clothing or emotes.

Gamers, at this point, are unable to ascertain what exactly to pay for "Tom Clancy's The Division," but the news is that it certainly would not be a "pay-to-win" model, which are usually reserved for free-to-play online games or mobile video games.

Slated to be released on March 8 2016, "Tom Clancy's The Division" is an online MMO, featuring a third person shooter. The platforms that are going to receive the game includes Xbox One, PS 4 and the PC.

According to reports from insiders, Ubisoft has delayed the release of the game several times before, but as things stands now, the game is close to being finished. The first announcement of "Tom Clancy's The Division" was made by Ubisoft way back in 2013 at Los Angeles, and has been described as taking place in New York City, at that time, passing through a mid-crisis.

It remains to be seen what Ubisoft charges for the purchases.
