The 2015 release of *Rainbow Six Siege* revitalized the tactical team shooter genre, captivating online players with its annual DLC waves. As we celebrate the game's tenth anniversary, *Rainbow Six Siege X* emerges as a monumental update, promising to elevate the experience to new heights. Here's a comprehensive look at what *Rainbow Six Siege X* entails, including its eagerly awaited release date.
Rainbow Six Siege X is set to launch in June 2025 for both console and PC players, following its current closed beta phase. Ubisoft heralds this update as the most significant content overhaul in the history of Rainbow Six Siege. A key feature introduced in the closed beta is the Dual Front game mode, which pits 6-on-6 teams against each other in larger, more dynamic maps. Players must strategize their attacks and defenses across multiple areas, adding a new layer of complexity and excitement to the gameplay.
In addition to the Dual Front mode, Siege X will see several existing maps revamped, a refreshed user interface, enhanced technical presentation, and a rebalanced online matchmaking system designed to better accommodate new players.
Ubisoft unveiled a gameplay trailer for Rainbow Six Siege X on March 13, 2025, coinciding with the start of its closed beta test. The trailer showcases the high-energy 6-on-6 battles of the Dual Front mode on a new map and highlights upcoming refinements to the game's core mechanics, technical enhancements, and new gameplay features. It also promises rewards for existing players and free-to-play access for newcomers, making Siege X an inclusive update.
The Rainbow Six Siege X closed beta runs from March 13 to March 19, and is accessible to select partner players who stream the beta on Twitch. Viewers have the opportunity to earn their own access codes to the closed beta by watching these streams during the specified period. To participate, players must link their Twitch account to their Ubisoft Connect account. Notably, ownership of Rainbow Six Siege is not required to join the Siege X closed beta.
Ubisoft has detailed the closed beta process and access methods on their official website. At this time, there are no plans announced for further beta testing, including an open beta, leading up to the full release of Siege X in June. As Rainbow Six Siege marks its tenth year, Siege X represents a bold evolution of the game, continuing Ubisoft's legacy of delivering thrilling experiences inspired by Tom Clancy's works.
