2015's *Rainbow Six Siege* revitalized the tactical team shooter genre for online players, with each year bringing new waves of DLC. This tradition continues with *Rainbow Six Siege X*, celebrating the game's tenth anniversary. Here's everything you need to know about *Rainbow Six Siege X*, including its release date.
Rainbow Six Siege X Release Date
Rainbow Six Siege X, following its current closed beta phase, is set for a full release in June 2025 across home consoles and PC. Ubisoft describes this update as the most significant content overhaul in Rainbow Six Siege history. One of the key additions in the closed beta is the Dual Front game mode, which introduces 6-on-6 team battles.
Dual Front mode offers larger, more chaotic gameplay than most current Rainbow Six Siege modes. The maps are expansive, requiring teams to strategize on which areas to attack and defend while completing objectives. The Siege X update also promises to revamp several existing maps, refine the user interface, enhance the technical presentation, and rebalance the online matchmaking system to better assist new players.
Rainbow Six Siege X Trailer
On March 13, 2025, Ubisoft unveiled a gameplay trailer for Rainbow Six Siege X to coincide with the launch of its closed beta test. The trailer showcases the Dual Front mode, highlighting the intense 6-on-6 action on new maps. It also previews enhancements to the core game, including technical improvements, additional gameplay features, and rewards for existing Rainbow Six Siege players, alongside free-to-play access for newcomers.
Rainbow Six Siege X Beta Information
The Rainbow Six Siege X closed beta is scheduled from March 13 to March 19, with selected partner players streaming the beta on Twitch. Viewers can earn 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, owning Rainbow Six Siege is not a prerequisite for joining the Siege X closed beta.
Ubisoft has detailed how players can access the Siege X closed beta on their official website. There are no current plans for additional beta testing, such as an open beta period, before the full launch of Siege X in June. As Rainbow Six Siege marks its tenth anniversary, Siege X represents its most ambitious update yet, continuing Ubisoft's tradition of games inspired by Tom Clancy's works.
