Rainbow Six Siege X Launches Today, Free Access Now Available

Rainbow Six Siege X is now live, ushering in a new evolution of the intense tactical shooter with major upgrades to core systems, revamped player protection systems, and a permanent new 6v6 mode called Dual Front (current gen consoles and PC only). Siege X is a free update for players who already own the game, and all Siege players will keep their content and progression as this new era begins.
