Ubisoft first unveiled Siege X during the Six Invitational 2025, describing it as the biggest transformation in the game’s decade-long history. While not a direct sequel, Siege X represents a massive overhaul of Rainbow Six Siege, with significant graphical and audio upgrades, refined mechanics, and new game modes. Ubisoft stated that the project has been in development for three years, with a focus on modernizing the tactical shooter while retaining its core strategic depth, operators, and maps.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege was released on December 1, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. Initially, the game faced criticism for its limited content and progression system. However, Ubisoft’s continuous updates and expansions transformed it into a highly regarded tactical shooter. As of March 2025, Rainbow Six Siege has around 12 million monthly active players.
