R6 Year 10 Roadmap: Siege X, free access, new Operators, and more

BBG News

The forthcoming seasons promise quite a thrill! The game has been elevated to even greater heights, offering a revamped edition and innovative gameplay features.

Rainbow Six Siege, being in its tenth year, is prepared to continue for another decade, as hinted at during their unveiling of the R6 roadmap, with 2025 clearly emphasized.

To ensure a future filled with longevity, Ubisoft unveils an updated edition called Siege X. This version was even playable at its highest level during the RE:L0:AD Rio 2025 Major tournament. The gaming community is chomping at the bit to experience the enhanced Rainbow Six! We now have a date for the official launch.

For the future plans of Rainbow Six Siege X, we’ve got Season 1 currently underway, but the real excitement kicks off with Season 2, which is just about to begin.

Operation Daybreak and the R6 Siege X release date

The most significant aspects of the R6 roadmap include the debut of Siege X and the initiation of the initial operation.

  • Rainbow Six Siege X is out on June 10. It’s not just a new name: the game evolves to modern standards.
  • Operation Daybreak comes with quite a few interesting gameplay features: an Operator remaster, balancing updates, a new effect of electricity, and nerfs of limb damage.

All the details of R6 Siege X roadmap were revealed during the esports event RE:L0:AD Rio 2025.

Big changes in Siege X

In the launch of Rainbow Six Siege X, we see upgraded iterations of five classic maps: Bank, Clubhouse, Kafe, Border, and Chalet. These maps now boast increased detail, better lighting, and high-resolution visuals. With each new season, we can anticipate further refinements to the R6 map collection.

One significant aspect of R6 involves destructible items. In the upcoming Siege X, expect to find even more of these interactive objects scattered across the game maps – examples include gas lines and fire extinguishers.

Fresh maneuvers enable players to access unconventional locations. The chat wheel is integrated for swiftly communicating tactical tips with colleagues. The competitive edge escalates due to the novel pick-and-ban mechanic.

Siege X Operators: Remasters, balance updates, and new characters

In the second season of Year 10 for Rainbow Six Siege, one of the Operators undergoes a major overhaul – specifically, Clash. As the initial Defender equipped with a shield, Clash can now place her protective barrier on the ground. Her shield emits electricity, causing opponents to move more slowly and making them easier to target.

In order to prevent the reworked edition of Clash from becoming overly problematic within Rainbow Six Siege, the creators have modified the way electricity functions. This change primarily impacts character movement and does not inflict harm, but it effectively disables all available gadgets instead.

As a gamer, I’ve found that getting up close and personal or using an explosive blast can quickly take down that deployed electric shield.

Siege X Patch Notes: Changes for six Operators

In addition to the upgraded Clash, R6 Y10 Season 2 brings adjustments to the following Operators’ abilities.

  • Jackal: The Operator can pin an opponent one time only by scanning footprints. Then, the footprints disappear.
  • Sledge can smash shield users and open them up.
  • Thunderbird disrupts the healing feature of opponents’ Kóna Station.
  • Jäger: The active defense system is more effective now.
  • Blackbeard: The shield glass is better visible for opponents.

A new Operator and the next Remaster

In its third season, Rainbow Six Siege X debuts a fresh Operator, marking the introduction of a new addition to the team. Recall that Rauora was introduced in Season 1; now, after careful consideration, the creators have crafted an impressive new Operator with captivating abilities.

In the year 2025, another remastered character will join the game as an Attacker. We don’t know their identity or abilities yet; the creators are keeping it under wraps. Stay tuned for further updates!

Free Access to R6 Siege X: Most game modes, including Dual Front 

If you’ve got the authentic version of the game, you can claim Rainbow Six Siege X absolutely free! While all players receive free access to Siege X, they don’t get access to every single mode available.

1) In the free edition, you’ll find Quick Match and an unranked option. Everyone can jump into the latest 6v6 game style, Dual Front. This mode lets players combine roles as both Attackers and Defenders.

R6 ShieldGuard and anti-toxicity efforts

Excited by all the buzz about the fresh content, the creators of Siege X unveiled their Year 10 roadmap, accompanied by even more significant updates. Essentially, they’re rolling out a new anti-cheat system named R6 ShieldGuard and are making concerted efforts to combat toxicity within their gaming community.

  • R6 ShieldGuard continues the fight against cheating. This problem plagues many popular shooting games, and R6 Siege X is going to evolve faster to put more obstacles for cheat creators and users.

  • Anti-toxicity efforts are aiming for creating a safer and more enjoyable environment: no bad language in the chats, no toxic behavior in the game, and high punishments for regular match quitters. A new reputation system is introduced with Siege X, and it should increase the number of positive players. The result of these anti-toxicity efforts is already visible in Season 1 of Year 10.
