Rainbow Six Siege X Won't Be a New Game, But Will Have Major Updates

Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege X: A Major Update, Not a New Game

Ubisoft recently unveiled Rainbow Six Siege X, not as a new game, but as a significant upgrade to the existing Rainbow Six Siege. This major overhaul, announced February 17th, 2025, promises "new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel, and major upgrades all around." Details will be revealed at a dedicated showcase.

The March 2025 Showcase

The Rainbow Six Siege X showcase is scheduled for March 13th, 2025, at 10:00 am PDT / 1:00 pm EDT in Atlanta, Georgia. This event will offer an immersive experience, bringing together players, creators, and developers to unveil the changes coming with Siege X and other surprises. In-person attendance requires a $10 ticket, including an exclusive shirt and in-game cosmetic pack, and eligibility is restricted to legal residents of the USA and Canada aged 18 or older with an unbanned Rainbow Six Siege account. A VIP package giveaway, including travel and accommodation, is also available for two lucky fans.

Celebrating 10 Years of Siege

Originally released December 1st, 2015, Rainbow Six Siege has enjoyed a long run across multiple platforms. Its 10th anniversary is marked by Season 10, "Operation Prep Phase," launching March 4th, 2025, featuring:

• A new operator, Aurora, with deployable bulletproof doors.
• A new elite skin for operator Aruni.
• A revamped reputation system.

The timing suggests the major Siege X upgrades will be implemented on live servers after the Season 10 launch.
