Don’t Miss June 10: Major Changes Coming to Rainbow Six Siege!

by

Summary

  • Rainbow Six Siege X update and Operation Daybreak both launch on June 10.
  • Free Access makes Rainbow Six Siege free-to-play, except for some features.
  • Operator Clash will be reintroduced, after some tinkering to balance her gameplay.

On June 10, the highly anticipated update known as “Siege X” and the start of Operation Daybreak season will be released for Rainbow Six Siege. It appears Ubisoft is planning to make significant changes across various aspects of the game with this single update, potentially revolutionizing Rainbow Six Siege.

For a decade, the tactical first-person shooter game “Rainbow Six Siege” by Ubisoft has consistently received significant upgrades. Among these updates, Operation Solar Raid in Year 7 Season 4 stands out, as it brought in significant elements like multiplayer compatibility across platforms (crossplay), progression continuity across platforms (cross-progression), and the Reputation Score system. However, none of the game’s previous enhancements can match the excitement surrounding the upcoming changes.

In February 2025, the grand unveiling of the Rainbow Six Siege X update was made, touted as the most significant revamp yet. After much anticipation, this update is set to release on June 10. This significant overhaul will harmoniously align with the commencement of Rainbow Six Siege Year 10 Season 2, delivering not just a substantial modernization of key components but also a wave of new features, enhancements, and the long-discussed remastered Operator, Clash.

Major Rainbow Six Siege Changes Arriving on June 10

  • Launch of the Siege X update and the Operation Daybreak season
  • Addition of Dual Front, a new 6v6 mode
  • Five modernized maps
  • Rappel navigation upgrade
  • Complete audio overhaul
  • Start of Free Access
  • Remaster of Operator Clash
  • Balance updates for Jackal, Sledge, Thunderbird, Jager, and Blackbeard
  • New communication wheel
  • Revamped pick and ban system in Ranked matches
  • New Enlisted and Field Training playlists
  • New Operator dialogues

With this new update, we’re initiating a significant shift by offering the beginning of the “Rainbow Six Siege X'” as a free game experience. This means you can now play it without paying anything upfront. However, keep in mind that certain aspects such as ranked matches and the Siege Cup will only be accessible with a paid subscription.

The updated version of the Operator is another significant adjustment. Famous for her frequent glitches and exploits, Clash has been taken out of the game numerous times due to developers’ efforts to even out her shield-based trickery. These persistent problems have ultimately relegated her to the bottom of the Rainbow Six Siege‘s Operator tier list. However, the developers seem optimistic about her, attempting to reintegrate Clash with an appropriate overhaul. The date of June 10 will be pivotal for this contentious character, demonstrating whether she can now be a viable, well-balanced choice or continue to linger in the lower tiers.

As a dedicated gamer of Rainbow Six Siege, I can’t help but ponder about the size of the upcoming update. The Year 09 Season 04 update was a massive one, weighing in at around 74 GB on Ubisoft Connect and approximately 35 GB on other platforms, apart from Steam. With the release of Siege X and Operation Daybreak scheduled for June 10, it’s reasonable to expect this new update to outgrow those file sizes. Yet, the community seems unfazed by this, viewing this significant update as a worthy download despite its hefty size.
