Rainbow Six Siege, celebrating its tenth anniversary, is embarking on a new chapter with Siege X—a transformative update akin to CS2's impact on CS:GO. Launching June 10th, Siege X ushers in a free-to-play era for all players.
Key features of Siege X include:
- New Dual Front Mode: A 6v6 format blending attack and defense operators. Teams capture zones and plant sabotage devices across a map divided into three team areas and a central neutral zone. Respawn occurs after a 30-second delay.
- Advanced Rappel System: Enhanced rappelling mechanics allow vertical and horizontal rope usage.
- Increased Environmental Destruction: Expect more interactive destruction, with elements like fire extinguishers and gas pipes becoming exploitable.
- Five Map Reworks: Major updates are coming to five popular maps.
- Graphical & Audio Enhancements: Significant visual and audio upgrades are on the horizon.
- Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures: Ubisoft is strengthening anti-cheat and addressing toxic player behavior.
A closed beta will run for the next seven days, accessible to viewers of Siege streams.
