Siege X will set the next era for Rainbow Six in motion with anew game mode and an exclusive map, an advanced rappel system, modernized maps, several audio and visual improvements to take its realistic feel a notch higher, and so much more.
But will it be free to play?
Is Rainbow Six Siege X going to be free-to-play?
Yes, Ubisoft has confirmedRainbow Six will be going completely free-to-play with the release of Siege X.
That means players who purchased Rainbow Six Siege in the past (all current players basically) will get to keep everything. This includes all the skins they’ve unlocked or purchased, Operators, their entire inventory, access to competitive playlists such as Ranked and Siege Cup, and progression over these 10 years.
This also means new players (after Siege X releases) will have to grind harder and upgrade to the Premium edition to unlock the competitive modes. They would also need to reach player level 50 to access more Operators.
They will have free access to the new Dual Front, Quick Play, and Unranked game modes. Ubisoft alsoconfirmedthat “free access will have 10 Operators available from the start and can expand that roster to 26 Operators through in-game progression.”
Siege X will officially release on August 08, 2025, with the launch of Year 10 Season 2.
