Rainbow Six Siege X, having moved past its closed beta phase, is slated for a full release in June 2025, catering to both console and PC gamers. Ubisoft heralds this update as the most significant content overhaul in the history of Rainbow Six Siege. A highlight of the closed beta was the introduction of the Dual Front game mode, which pits teams of six against each other in more expansive and chaotic battles.
Dual Front mode elevates the gameplay experience by introducing larger maps that demand strategic coordination for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. The Siege X update promises not only this new mode but also revamped maps, a refreshed user interface, enhanced technical presentation, and a rebalanced online matchmaking system designed to assist newer players in getting up to speed.
The Rainbow Six Siege X closed beta was accessible from March 13 to March 19, exclusively through select partner streams on Twitch. Fans watching these streams during the beta period had the opportunity to secure their own access codes, valid for the entire six-day beta duration. Importantly, participants did not need to own Rainbow Six Siege to join the Siege X closed beta, but they were required to link their Twitch account to their Ubisoft Connect account.
Ubisoft has detailed the Siege X closed beta experience and access methods on their official website. There are currently no plans for additional beta tests, including an open beta, leading up to the full launch in June 2025. As Rainbow Six Siege marks its tenth year, Siege X represents the most ambitious evolution yet, continuing Ubisoft's legacy of delivering engaging games inspired by Tom Clancy's works.
