Rainbow Six Siege X update detailed, as game goes free-to-play
Ubisoft has detailed Rainbow Six Siege X, including its new mode, refreshed maps and more.
With the launch of Rainbow Six Siege X, the game will essentially go free-to-play, with access to Dual Front, Unranked and Quick Play modes and the ability to "earn up to 26 operators through progression", Ubisoft says. There's a new anti-cheat system, too, dubbed R6 ShieldGuard, that is designed to add "live security updates that will occur without the need for scheduled maintenance, making cheats difficult to create". However, you'll have to watch content creators play the game on Twitch to earn a closed beta invite, which sounds a faff - there's more detail on how it works on Ubisoft's website.
