Rainbow Six Siege X Introduces Dual Front Mode to Lower Barriers for New Players

Ubisoft's 10-year-old tactical FPS receives its biggest update yet, adding a new 6v6 game mode and major quality-of-life improvements.

Rainbow Six Siege X aims to make the game more accessible to new players while retaining its core experience for veterans.
The new Dual Front mode features 6v6 gameplay with mixed teams of attackers and defenders, faster respawns, and a simplified operator pool.
A new map, District, has been designed specifically for Dual Front and will receive seasonal updates with new objectives and features.
Core Siege gameplay is also being enhanced with modernized maps, improved audio systems, and interactive environmental elements.
Ubisoft confirms Rainbow Six Siege X is not a sequel but a long-term update to sustain the game for another decade, launching June 10 as a free-to-play title.
