Ubisoft Details What Players Can Expect From Rainbow Six Siege X's Launch And Beyond

Ubisoft has confirmed that players will be able to test out Rainbow Six Siege X starting tomorrow, May 20, and outlined all of the updates players can expect throughout the rest of the year.

On June 10, Rainbow Six Siege X, an overhaul of the first-person shooter, will arrive. It adds a new 6v6 mode called Dual Front, updates several maps, improves player onboarding, and more. On Sunday, Ubisoft also revealed that Siege X will include a dedicated in-game esports tab and that PC players will be able to test out all of these upgrades early through a test server session that will be live between 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on May 20 and 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on June 9. Ubisoft is increasing the minimum, high, and ultra PC- spec requirements alongside the launch of Siege X, which it detailed in the image below.

Additionally, Ubisoft teased what's to come throughout the rest of Year 10. Siege X launches alongside a new season called Operation Daybreak. It redesigns the Defender Operator named Clash, who can now deploy her shield and activate its taser remotely. Operation Daybreak also brings other balancing updates to the game, such as electricity slowing Operators rather than damaging them now, reducing limb damage, and adjusting the abilities of Blackbeard, Jackal, Jäger, Thunderbird, and Sledge. The developers also plan to be more efficient in making anti-cheat updates throughout the season.

When Season 3 arrives several months from now, it will introduce a new Operator to the game, who is from Switzerland and wields a new weapon. It will also remaster the Nighthaven, Lair, and Consulate maps, feature the return of a Halloween event, and bring some changes to Dual Front to set up the new Operator. Then, Rainbow Six Siege will celebrate its 10th anniversary during Season 4, so Ubisoft will have a special in-game event for it. More Operator and map remasters, updates to training mode, and a new playlist called Testing Grounds will also arrive in Season 4.

Rainbow Six Siege X and Operation Daybreak will launch on June 10 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A test server for Siege X will run between May 20 and June 9.
