Rainbow Six Siege X: A Major Update Unveiled

The March 2025 Showcase

Announced on February 17, 2025, Rainbow Six Siege X promises significant gameplay enhancements and refinements. Ubisoft will detail these changes during a dedicated showcase on March 13, 2025, at 10:00 am (PDT) / 1:00 pm (EDT) in Atlanta, Georgia. This immersive event will bring together players, creators, and developers to unveil the evolution of Siege X and more surprises.

In-person attendance requires a USD $10 ticket, including an exclusive long-sleeve shirt and an in-game cosmetic pack. Eligibility is limited to legal residents of the USA and Canada, aged 18 or older, with a good standing Rainbow Six Siege account (no bans or sanctions).

Ubisoft is also offering two lucky fans a VIP package including a hotel stay, roundtrip flight, and event entry. This giveaway is also restricted to legal residents of the USA and Canada.

This update promises "new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel, and major upgrades all around," with specifics to be revealed at the showcase.

Rainbow Six Siege's 10th Anniversary and Beyond

Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Rainbow Six Siege later arrived on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020), the game has enjoyed consistent updates, establishing itself as a long-running live-service shooter. Rainbow Six Siege X aims to further extend the franchise's lifespan.

A February 17, 2025, Steam post revealed the upcoming Season 1 operator, Aurora, with her unique bulletproof door deployment ability. A new elite skin for Aruni and a revamped reputation system rewarding or penalizing player behavior will also launch in Season 1, Operation Prep Phase, on March 4, 2025, to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary.

Given the timing of Season 10's launch and the Rainbow Six Siege X showcase, the major upgrades are expected to be implemented on live servers at a later date.
