Rainbow Six Siege X, currently in its closed beta phase, is set for a wide release in June 2025, catering to both console and PC gamers. Ubisoft, the game's publisher, touts this update as the most comprehensive content overhaul Rainbow Six Siege has ever seen. A highlight of the closed beta is the introduction of the Dual Front game mode, which pits 6-on-6 teams against each other in larger, more chaotic battles. This mode requires teams to strategize their attacks and defenses across expansive maps, tackling objectives in different areas as they encounter the enemy. Alongside Dual Front, 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.
