Rainbow 6 Siege X Day One Launch Details: Everything to Know

R6 Siege X released across platforms on June 10. The title saw a two-hour maintenance update during its release day prior to its launch on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S and One, and PC. In commemoration of its official release, the free-to-play shooter added a new Battle Pass; the teaser for the Battle Pass is shown below. 

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players cannot access the Dual Front game mode – Dual Front introduces a single new map, 6v6 battles with respawns, and a limited class selection that will rotate twice a season.
