Rainbow Six Siege Upcoming 10th Year Anniversary

Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Rainbow Six Siege has since been ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020. The game has seen continuous updates, cementing its status as one of the longest-running live-service shooter games across multiple platforms. The upcoming major update with Rainbow Six Siege X is poised to further extend the longevity of the franchise.

In a Steam post dated February 17, 2025, Ubisoft introduced a new operator, Aurora, who can deploy bulletproof doors. Alongside this, a new elite skin for operator Aruni and a new reputation system that rewards or punishes players based on their in-game behavior will be introduced. These features will be part of Season 1 of the game's 10th year, dubbed Operation Prep Phase, set to launch on March 4, 2025, in celebration of the game's 10th anniversary.

Given the timing of Season 10's launch and the showcase for Rainbow Six Siege X, it appears that the major upgrades will be implemented on the live servers at a later date.
