A big birthday for Siege (Ubisoft)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ubisoft<\/a> has revealed what to expect from its big Rainbow Six Siege X update, which is available to play now in a limited time beta.<\/p>\n

Given all its failed live service experiments, including the likes of Hyper Scape<\/a> and XDefiant<\/a>, it’s easy to forget Ubisoft managed to land one of the model’s earliest hits, in Rainbow Six Siege<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The shooter is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2025 and continues to be very popular, with the game breaking its all-time peak player record on Steam last year.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft is now hoping to set the game up for another decade, through the Rainbow Six Siege X update, which – more or less – makes the experience free-to-play.<\/p>\n

After it teased an ‘evolution’<\/a> for Rainbow Six Siege last month, Ubisoft has revealed that Rainbow Six Siege X is a widespread revamp, for the visuals, audio, maps, and the rappel mechanic – with one key new addition.<\/p>\n

There’s now a new permanent mode called Dual Front, a 6v6 mode where you are tasked with capturing sectors of the enemy base while defending your own. This mode will launch with a new map called District, and with a smaller pool of 35 operators.<\/p>\n

While this is being added to the main game when Rainbow Six Siege X launches on June 10, new players can access the mode for free from this date too.<\/p>\n
