Rainbow Six Siege X, which is currently in a closed beta phase, is set to launch widely in June 2025 for both console and PC players. Ubisoft touts this update as the most significant content overhaul in Rainbow Six Siege's history. A key feature introduced in the closed beta is the Dual Front game mode, which pits teams of six against each other in more expansive and chaotic battles.
In Dual Front mode, larger maps challenge teams to strategize on attack and defense areas, completing objectives across different zones as they encounter the opposing team. Siege X also promises to revamp several existing maps, enhance the user interface, improve technical aspects, and introduce a rebalanced online matchmaking system aimed at assisting new players.
