Rainbow Six Siege X is currently in its closed beta phase but is set for a full release in June 2025 on both home consoles and PC. Ubisoft has dubbed this update as the most significant content overhaul for Rainbow Six Siege to date. A standout feature introduced in the closed beta is the Dual Front game mode, which pits 6-on-6 teams against each other in a more chaotic and expansive setting than traditional game modes. The maps in Dual Front are larger, requiring strategic coordination for attacking and defending different areas while completing objectives.
The Siege X update will also revamp several existing maps, enhance the user interface, improve the technical aspects, and introduce a rebalanced online matchmaking system designed to assist newer players in getting started.

On March 13, 2025, Ubisoft unveiled a gameplay trailer for Rainbow Six Siege X to coincide with the closed beta launch. The trailer showcases the intense 6-on-6 gameplay of the Dual Front mode on its new map, alongside teases of enhancements to the core game, including technical improvements, new gameplay features, and rewards for existing players. Additionally, Siege X will offer free-to-play access to attract new players.
Rainbow Six Siege X Beta Information
The Rainbow Six Siege X closed beta ran from March 13 to March 19, with selected partner players streaming the beta on Twitch. Viewers who tuned into these streams had the opportunity to receive their own access codes to the closed beta, valid for the six-day period. To participate, players were required to link their Twitch account to their Ubisoft Connect account. Notably, owning Rainbow Six Siege was not a prerequisite for joining the Siege X closed beta.
Ubisoft has detailed the Siege X closed beta and how to access it on their official website. There are no current plans for additional beta testing, including an open beta before the full launch of Siege X in June. As Rainbow Six Siege prepares for its most ambitious update yet, ten years after its initial release, it continues to uphold Ubisoft's tradition of delivering thrilling games inspired by Tom Clancy's works.
