Rainbow Six Siege X, following its current closed beta phase, is set for a full release in June 2025, available to both console and PC players. Ubisoft has labeled this update as the most substantial content overhaul Rainbow Six Siege has ever seen. One of the standout features introduced during the closed beta is the Dual Front game mode, which pits teams of six against each other in more expansive and chaotic battles.
The Dual Front mode features larger maps, requiring strategic coordination among team members on which zones to attack and defend, and completing objectives in each area as they encounter the opposition. Alongside this, Siege X promises to revamp several existing maps, enhance the user interface, boost the technical presentation, and refine the online matchmaking system to better support new players.
