As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that we’ve just received the Operation High Stakes update for Rainbow Six Siege X! This latest update brings a host of exciting new additions to the game, including a fresh operator and revamped maps. This marks the third seasonal content refresh from Ubisoft Montreal in 2025.
Even though Rainbow Six Siege was first released a decade ago, now referred to as Rainbow Six Siege X, it continues to show no signs of losing momentum. By providing frequent content updates and thoughtfully scheduled free-to-play periods, the tactical first-person shooter has managed to keep player enthusiasm high throughout its lifespan. In June 2025, Rainbow Six Siege X hit a peak of over 140,000 concurrent players on Steam, thanks to the second major update of the year and a significant facelift for its tenth anniversary. To keep things interesting, developers have now launched another season of this online shooter to boost player interaction once more.
Beginning on September 2nd, Ubisoft released the latest season of Rainbow Six Siege X, named Operation High Stakes, on all platforms. This update introduced Denari, a new Defender operator, and made available his ability, T.R.I.P. Connector, which allows players to set up lasers that injure enemies upon detection. The Dual Front mode, initially released with Rainbow Six Siege X, now features a fresh assignment for players known as Keres Safe Room. In this mission, teams must successfully extract data from a secure server room. Furthermore, the new update enhances the Consulate, Lair, and Nighthaven maps by adding Destructible Ingredients and improving aspects such as lighting, textures, and materials.
In addition to the previously mentioned improvements, some balancing adjustments have been incorporated into Rainbow Six Siege X. Firstly, Blackbeard’s adaptability and area-control abilities, particularly with frag grenades, have received a nerf. Specifically, this Attacker type operator can no longer use optics or break undamaged barricades in certain rappelling situations. Conversely, new loadout options are available for specific Rainbow Six Siege X operators, such as Wamai who now carries the Super Shorty. The Reaper MK2 has received a recoil boost, while other changes have made throwing projectiles from behind the Ballistic Shield more hazardous for players.
After the successful debut of Rainbow Six Siege X, the developers are likely hoping that the new season will continue this positive trend. As one of the first content updates for the reworked game, Operation High Stakes could play a significant role in setting the stage for Ubisoft’s future plans for the Rainbow Six series.

As a dedicated esports enthusiast, I recently encountered an issue where my game data for championship stages mysteriously vanished whenever I tried to manage multiple teams across different leagues. It seemed like something was amiss within the Esports section and I couldn’t seem to find my team’s stats. I thought it needed a quick fix!
In simpler terms, it might be said that once a championship stage has been completed in the Esports section, you cannot fully view the final standings on the overview page because they do not fit within its scrolling limits.
In the Esports championship area, pressing the right key doesn’t cause navigation to function properly if no tile is selected.
During the Preparation Phase, an attacker might lose control of their drone when another player chooses to observe it (spectate).
AUDIO
FIXED – Melee SFX missing when doing a melee strike.
