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.
Key features of Siege X include:
- Dual Front: A thrilling 6v6 mode blending attack and defense operators. Teams battle to capture zones and deploy sabotage devices across a map divided into three team areas and a central neutral zone. Respawn time is a quick 30 seconds.
- Advanced Rappel System: Enhanced rappelling mechanics now allow vertical and horizontal rope use, adding strategic depth.
- Increased Environmental Destruction: Expect more interactive destruction, with the trailer highlighting explosive fire extinguishers and gas pipes.
- Map Reworks: Five popular maps receive significant overhauls.
- Graphical & Audio Enhancements: Prepare for a significant visual and auditory upgrade.
- Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures: Ubisoft is strengthening anti-cheat systems and actively addressing toxic player behavior.
A closed beta will run for the next seven days, accessible to those who tune into Siege streams.
