As Rainbow Six Siege celebrates its tenth anniversary, Ubisoft has unveiled an exciting new chapter: Siege X. This major update, likened to the transformation from CS:GO to CS2, is poised to redefine the Siege experience. Set to launch on June 10, Siege X will transition the game to a free-to-play model, making it accessible to a broader audience.
Key Changes in Siege X:

- Reworks for Five Popular Maps - Five of the community's favorite maps are set for major updates, ensuring that even seasoned players will find fresh challenges and opportunities.
- Graphical & Audio Enhancements - Ubisoft is set to roll out comprehensive visual and audio upgrades, promising a more immersive and realistic Siege experience.
- Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures - A significant focus is placed on enhancing the game's anti-cheat systems and addressing toxic behavior within the community, ensuring a fairer and more enjoyable environment for all players.
Ubisoft has also announced a closed beta for Siege X, which will be available to players who watch Siege streams over the next seven days. This opportunity allows eager fans to get a first-hand look at the game's new features and provide valuable feedback before the official launch.
