Rainbow Six Siege X, following its current closed beta phase, is set to launch globally in June 2025 for both console and PC gamers. Ubisoft, the game's publisher, touts this update as the most significant content overhaul Rainbow Six Siege has ever seen. A highlight of the closed beta is the new Dual Front game mode, introducing 6-on-6 team battles.
Dual Front mode promises a more expansive and chaotic experience than existing game modes. Larger maps require strategic coordination among teams to decide which areas to attack and defend while completing objectives. Alongside this new mode, Siege X will revamp several existing maps, enhance the user interface, upgrade the technical presentation, and refine the online matchmaking system to better accommodate new players.
On March 13, 2025, Ubisoft unveiled a gameplay trailer for Rainbow Six Siege X to coincide with the launch of its closed beta. The trailer showcases the thrilling 6-on-6 gameplay of the Dual Front mode on a new map. It also previews enhancements to the core game, including technical upgrades, additional gameplay features, rewards for veteran Rainbow Six Siege players, and free-to-play access for newcomers.
The Rainbow Six Siege X closed beta is scheduled from March 13 to March 19, exclusively for select partner players streaming on Twitch. Viewers tuning into these streams during the beta period have the opportunity to win an access code, valid for the six-day duration of the beta. To participate, players must link their Twitch account to their Ubisoft Connect account. Notably, ownership of Rainbow Six Siege is not required to join the Siege X closed beta.

As of now, there are no plans for further beta testing, including an open beta phase before the full release in June. Rainbow Six Siege is poised to take its most ambitious leap forward since its inception a decade ago, continuing Ubisoft's legacy of games inspired by Tom Clancy's works with the exciting evolution of Siege X.
