Rainbow Six Siege is Crossing Over With Payday

Highlights

  • Rainbow Six Siege and Payday crossover introduces new cosmetic bundle for operators Wamai and Zero, featuring popular Payday heisters.
  • Payday 3 player count jumps after large content update, reigniting interest in franchise with new heist and features.
  • Rainbow Six Siege collaboration with Payday may renew interest in the franchise, as Seige has a large player base and successful crossovers.

As a long-time fan of both the Rainbow Six and Payday franchises, I must say that this recent collaboration has truly struck a chord with me! I remember the thrill of my first heist in Payday 2 and the tactical precision required in Rainbow Six Siege. To see these two worlds collide is nothing short of exhilarating.

In a recent reveal, Rainbow Six Siege unveiled a collaboration with the Payday series. This popular game continues to retain a significant number of players, making it one of the go-to titles on Xbox. Notably, Rainbow Six Siege has consistently boasted an average of more than 50,000 concurrent players on Steam in recent times, and prominent streamers such as Jynxzi have been captivating audiences with their gameplay to tens of thousands of viewers.

Despite facing some rough patches since the last Payday game was met with a lukewarm response, the player count for Payday 3 saw a significant increase in July 2024 following a substantial content update. This update included a fresh heist and much-anticipated features. With the upcoming Rainbow Six Siege collaboration and another update on the horizon, it seems that the Payday franchise might be making a comeback.

A recent trailer unveiled on official platforms showcases a fresh cosmetic package for operators Wamai and Zero in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. This bundle is themed around popular characters from the Payday series, with Zero adopting an appearance reminiscent of Dallas, and Wamai transforming into Chains. Each operator dons their character’s signature mask, keeping their faces concealed from players. The trailer additionally previews new weapon skins for each operator, bearing the names of their corresponding Payday characters etched on the firearms. This bundle is now available for purchase at a cost of 4080 credits, or you can buy them separately for 2160 credits per character. This collaboration is one of many that Payday has undertaken in the past; previous installments in the Payday franchise have also featured significant partnerships.

Dallas and Chains Join Rainbow Six Siege As a Cosmetic Bundle

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at how Rainbow Six Siege has continued and expanded upon the exceptional legacy of the legendary author, Tom Clancy. First introduced in December 2015, this live-service game is about to celebrate its ninth anniversary since it began. Initially launching with just eight operators, the roster has now swelled to a remarkable 71 characters, excluding the recruit, and more continue to be added each season. The game offers a diverse cast of over several dozen operators for both sides, from tactical attackers to resilient defenders.

Partnering Payday with Rainbow Six Siege could potentially reignite enthusiasm for Payday 3, as it exposes more gamers to the series. Rainbow Six Siege is known for such collaborations; for instance, it teamed up with Dead by Daylight in the past. Such crossovers capitalize on Siege’s vast player base, offering mutual advantages for both franchises.
