Rainbow Six Siege Upcoming 10th Year Anniversary
Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Rainbow Six Siege has since been ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020. The game has seen continuous updates, cementing its status as one of the longest-running live-service shooter games across multiple platforms. The upcoming major update could further extend the longevity of the Rainbow Six franchise.
In a Steam post dated February 17, 2025, Ubisoft introduced a new operator, Aurora, who can deploy bulletproof doors. Additionally, a new elite skin for operator Aruni and a new reputation system that rewards or penalizes players based on their in-game behavior will be introduced. These features will launch in Season 1 of the game's 10th year, Operation Prep Phase, on March 4, 2025, in celebration of the game's 10th anniversary.
Given the timing of Season 10's launch and the showcase for Rainbow Six Siege X, it appears that the major upgrades will be implemented on the live servers at a later date.
