Rainbow Six Siege Upcoming 10th Year Anniversary

Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and later ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020, Rainbow Six Siege has been a mainstay in the live-service shooter genre. With consistent updates over the years, the game continues to thrive across various platforms. The major update with Rainbow Six Siege X is expected to further extend the franchise's longevity.

In a Steam post dated February 17, 2025, Ubisoft introduced a new operator named 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 debut in Season 1 of the game's 10th year, titled Operation Prep Phase, 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.
