Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Rainbow Six Siege has since expanded to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020. The game has been continuously updated, cementing its status as a leading live-service shooter. The upcoming major update could further extend the life of the Rainbow Six franchise.

In a Steam post dated February 17, 2025, Ubisoft introduced a new operator, Aurora, who can deploy bulletproof doors. Alongside this, a new elite skin for operator Aruni and a new reputation system will be introduced. This system will reward or penalize players based on their in-game behavior throughout the season. These features will be available in Season 1 of the game's 10th year, Operation Prep Phase, launching on March 4, 2025, in celebration of its 10th anniversary.

Given the timing of Season 10's launch and the showcase for Rainbow Six Siege X, it appears the major updates will be rolled out to live servers at a later date.
