“Rainbow Six: Siege X Is Here And Yes, It’s Free-to-Play Now!
“Ready to breach?” Because Ubisoft just smashed the hinges off the doors to one of the most legendary tactical shooters ever developed—and now everyone gets to join on the mission. Rainbow Six: Siege X, the next step of the iconic Siege series, is released today, and in an unprecedented move, it is completely free-to-play.
Yes, that’s right. What started as a niche game for hardcore tacticians back in 2015, has now evolved into an FPS experience for the masses—without losing the persistent tension, realism, and heart-racing action that made Siege a beloved classic.
Better yet, the game on a whole has upgraded from a niche title into a full-fledged experience.
So, What Is Rainbow Six: Siege X?
In essence, Siege X maintains its 5v5, attacker-vs-defender model, but the game feels faster, smarter, and more fluid. Between the completely rebuilt servers, next-gen graphic fidelity, and rebalanced operator system, Ubisoft isn’t just simply updating Siege—they are fundamentally redefining it.
Operators now have modular loadouts, the ping system has been revamped, and destruction physics are more contextual than ever before. Whether you are a wall-breaching Ash main or trap-setting Kapkan loyalist, there is room for everyone at the table.
Ubisoft has made sure that Siege X isn’t just a free version of old content with a new wrapper. Here are some of the returning operators will

Additionally, a new “Ops Academy” mode allows veteran operators to train recruits – and earn in-game currency and exclusive cosmetic rewards in the process.
There is no up-front cost; however, there is a Battle Pass, an option for cosmetic purchases, and the purchase of operator packages. Everything needed to play a balanced game of Siege will remain unlocked so that Siege X will not become another “pay-to-win” F2P game.
But overall, it seems the community is positive. Streamers like Shroud and Pengu have already streamed for hours on their Twitch channels and attracted thousands of new and curious players
Final Verdict: Should You Get In?
Whether you are a veteran operator or a brand new recruit, Rainbow Six: Siege X feels like the kind of tactical shooter the future has for us. With a polished free-to-play experience that would compare with any AAA title, this could be the shrewdest move made by Ubisoft yet.
So get in and get your squad, check your corners, and still keep in mind that in Siege X, one mistake can cost you a round.
