Ubisoft is shaking up the Rainbow Six Siege experience with a major game-changing update—introducing a free-to-play access tier! 🚀 As the game celebrates its 10th anniversary, Ubisoft is setting the stage for the next decade of intense tactical action with the launch of Rainbow Six Siege X in 2025.
🔥 Rainbow Six Siege’s Biggest Evolution Yet
Since its launch in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege has become one of the most iconic tactical shooters, renowned for its intense gunplay, strategic depth, and unparalleled environmental destruction. With a massive roster of Operators, destructible environments, and an ever-evolving meta, Siege has captivated millions of players worldwide.
Now, Ubisoft is preparing for the game’s “biggest evolution yet” with Siege X, a game-changing update designed to expand accessibility, improve gameplay mechanics, and lay the foundation for another decade of Siege dominance.
🎮 Free-to-Play Access: Expanding the Siege Community
One of the biggest highlights of Siege X is the introduction of a “Free Access” tier, making it easier than ever for new players to jump into the action—without paying upfront! 🆓
✔️ What’s included in Free Access?
🔹 10 Playable Operators at launch (with progression unlocking 16 more for a total of 26).
🔹 Access to Unranked, Quick Play, and the brand-new Dual Front mode.
🔹 Ability to upgrade to Premium Access for full content, including Ranked Mode & Siege Cup.
🎯 Want to try it early? Ubisoft will launch a closed beta for Siege X before its official release, giving players a sneak peek at the next era of Rainbow Six Siege!
⚔️ Free-to-Play vs. Premium Access: What’s the Difference?
While going free-to-play opens Siege up to a wider audience, Ubisoft has put limitations in place to maintain balance between new and veteran players.
🔻 Free Access Players Get:
✔️ Limited Operator Roster (26 out of 74+).
✔️ No access to Ranked Mode or Siege Cup.
✔️ Unranked, Quick Play & Dual Front mode only.
🔺 Premium Access Players Get:
✔️ Full Operator Roster 🏆
✔️ Ranked Mode & Siege Cup 🎖️
✔️ Exclusive rewards & competitive matchmaking
This two-tiered system ensures that newcomers can experience Siege’s core gameplay, while dedicated players still enjoy exclusive, competitive experiences.
🗓️ When Does Siege X & Free Access Launch?
Ubisoft confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege X and Free Access will go live in Year 10, Season 2 (Mid-2025).
🚀 What’s Next?
The Year 10, Season 1 roadmap has already been unveiled, and anticipation is sky-high for the Siege X evolution. Player feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, with many excited to finally try Rainbow Six Siege for free—while competitive players are relieved that Ranked remains exclusive to Premium Access.
