2015's *Rainbow Six Siege* revitalized the tactical team shooter genre, captivating online players and consistently delivering engaging DLC year after year. This tradition continues with *Rainbow Six Siege X*, celebrating the game's tenth anniversary. Here's what you need to know, including the release date.
Rainbow Six Siege X Release Date
Following its closed beta, Rainbow Six Siege X is slated for a full release in June 2025 on consoles and PC. Ubisoft calls this the biggest content update in Rainbow Six Siege history. The closed beta introduced Dual Front, a new 6v6 game mode.
Dual Front offers a larger-scale, more chaotic experience than existing modes. Larger maps demand strategic coordination between teammates to attack, defend, and complete objectives amidst intense enemy encounters. The Siege X update also promises revamped maps, a redesigned user interface, enhanced visuals, and a rebalanced matchmaking system designed to improve the experience for new players.

Ubisoft launched a gameplay trailer on March 13, 2025, to coincide with the closed beta. The trailer showcases the fast-paced action of Dual Front mode on its new map, and hints at overall game refinements, including visual improvements and new gameplay features. It also highlights rewards for existing players and free-to-play access for newcomers.
