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.
Today also marks the beginning of Free Access, which allows players to jump into Quick Match, Unranked, and Dual Front modes with a selection of Operators for free. Other features, including Ranked, Siege Cup, and additional Operators and cosmetics, require payment to unlock.
