Ubisoft announces over 20 million players have now played The Division, offering an infographic with various factoids and milestones for their open-world shooter and its audience that's twice the population of Sweden. The say they plan to celebrate the milestone with a month's worth of special activities:

It's been two years since the launch of The Division brought players into a New York City ravaged by a deadly pandemic to seek out answers and assert control over the lawless streets of this iconic city. Since launch, over 20 million players worldwide have answered the call, taking up the mantle of a recently activated Civilian Agent and exploring all that The Division has to offer. Now, to thank players for their support and celebrate the two-year anniversary, the development team is planning a month of in-game activities including four Global Events (one per week from March 1 through March 29). Global Events are a live feature in Tom Clancy's the Division that alter the game experience by adding modifiers to all in-game activities while granting participating players a chance for special cosmetic and gameplay rewards.

From the record-breaking pre-launch beta to the Underground, Survival, and Last Stand expansions to the nine major free updates, The Division has continued to evolve and entice new fans into its ranks. "We are very proud of what we have achieved during these past 2 years. Listening and giving back to the community has always been our first objective and we would like to thank all The Division players for their valuable feedback and their support," said Julian Gerighty, Creative Director.
