Rainbow Six Siege X Unveiled

Rainbow Six Siege Showcase: March 13, 2025

Nine years after its launch, Rainbow Six Siege is getting a massive update, Rainbow Six Siege X. The announcement was made by Ubisoft on February 17, 2025, with further details promised for a showcase on March 13, 2025, at 10:00 am (PDT) / 1:00 pm (EDT) in Atlanta, Georgia. Ubisoft promises an "immersive and one-of-a-kind Siege experience," bringing players, creators, and developers together to unveil the evolution of Siege X and other surprises.

In-person attendance requires a USD $10 ticket, which includes an exclusive long-sleeve shirt and an in-game cosmetic pack. Eligibility is limited to legal residents of the USA and Canada, aged 18 or older, with a good standing Rainbow Six Siege account (no bans or sanctions).

Ubisoft is also offering two lucky fans VIP packages, including hotel stay, roundtrip flights, and entry to the showcase. This giveaway is also restricted to legal residents of the USA and Canada.

Siege X promises "new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel, and major upgrades." Specific details will be revealed during the showcase.

Rainbow Six Siege's 10th Anniversary and Beyond

Initially released on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Rainbow Six Siege later came to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020), the game has seen numerous updates over the years, establishing it as a long-running live-service shooter. Siege X aims to further extend the franchise's lifespan.

A February 17, 2025 Steam post announced a new operator, Aurora (with deployable bulletproof doors), a new elite skin for Aruni, and a new reputation system. These additions will launch in Season 1 of Year 10, "Operation Prep Phase," on March 4, 2025, to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary.

Given the Season 10 launch date and the later Siege X showcase, the major Siege X upgrades will likely be implemented on live servers at a later date.
