Rainbow Six Siege Upcoming 10th Year Anniversary

Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Rainbow Six Siege has seen numerous updates over the years, extending its life as a premier live-service shooter. The game's transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020 further solidified its place in the gaming community. With Rainbow Six Siege X, Ubisoft aims to continue this legacy.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Ubisoft announced on February 17, 2025, the introduction of a new operator, Aurora, who can deploy bulletproof doors. Additionally, a new elite skin for operator Aruni and a new reputation system will be introduced. These features will launch with Season 1 of its 10th year, Operation Prep Phase, on March 4, 2025.

While the 10th anniversary celebrations kick off in March, the major updates from Rainbow Six Siege X are expected to be implemented on the live servers at a later date, following the showcase. This promises to keep the game fresh and engaging for its dedicated player base.
