The highly anticipated update, Rainbow Six Siege X, is set to revolutionize the game on June 10, 2025, with a plethora of exciting new features and improvements that promise to take the gaming experience to new heights. As the game celebrates its 10th anniversary, Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops to give players a fresh and enhanced experience that will leave them breathless.
The update promises to be a game-changer, with a complete overhaul of gameplay, graphics, and anti-cheat measures that will make the game more enjoyable and challenging for players of all skill levels. One of the most significant additions is Dual Front, a new 6v6 mode that brings a massive map to the game, deviating from the traditional attack-and-defend setup and allowing both teams to push and defend simultaneously. This new gameplay mechanic promises to be more chaotic and strategic, offering a fun shakeup to the usual formula and opening up a world of new combo possibilities.
Players will have access to a rotating roster of 35 operators, combining both attackers and defenders, which will test their skills and strategies in new and exciting ways. According to Ubisoft, “Dual Front is a game-changer, offering a fresh and exciting way to play the game, with more opportunities for strategy and teamwork.” This new mode is sure to be a hit with players who are looking for a new challenge and a chance to experience the game in a whole new way.

ShieldGuard will apply live security updates without requiring downtime, making it more challenging for cheat developers to adapt and ruin the fun for everyone. This move is sure to be welcomed by players who have been frustrated by cheating and toxicity in the past.
To combat toxic lobbies, the reputation system is getting a major overhaul, with more tools being added to protect players from the worst parts of online gaming. This move is sure to be welcomed by players who have been burned by toxic players in the past and are looking for a more positive and enjoyable gaming experience. As Ubisoft notes, “We’re committed to making Siege X a game that’s enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their skill level or experience.”
Ubisoft is also making Siege X more accessible to new players by making the game partially free-to-play. New players will have access to Dual Front, Unranked, and Quick Play, and can unlock up to 26 operators simply by grinding through the game. For those who want to get competitive, premium editions will allow players to jump into Ranked Mode and the Siege Cup once they hit level 50, with even more operators unlocked right away.
Veteran players have no need to worry, as everything they’ve earned, including operators, skins, and progression, will carry over. In fact, they’ll receive veteran rewards based on how long they’ve been playing, which is essentially a thank-you gift for their loyalty. This move is sure to be appreciated by players who have invested countless hours and effort into the game.
Rainbow Six Siege X feels like more than just an update; it’s Ubisoft finally giving Siege the update it deserves. With fresh gameplay, better tools to fight cheating and toxicity, and easier access for new players, the game’s future is looking brighter than ever. Mark your calendars for June 10, 2025, and get ready to experience the game like never before.
