Entering its monumental tenth year, Rainbow Six Siege is ushering in a transformative chapter. Today's presentation unveiled Siege X - marking the game's evolution similar to CS2's relationship with CS:GO.
Siege X launches June 10, transitioning the game to a completely free-to-play model for all users.
Key Improvements Coming in Siege X:
