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 received numerous updates, solidifying its position as a leading live-service shooter across multiple platforms. The upcoming Rainbow Six Siege X update is poised to further extend the franchise's longevity.

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

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