Siege X is a major update and evolution of the popular tactical shooter game Rainbow Six Siege, launched in 2025 to celebrate the game's 10-year anniversary. It brings a host of changes including modernized maps, new destructible elements like fire extinguishers and gas pipes, and a major visual overhaul with improved textures and lighting. One of the key features introduced with Siege X is a new permanent 6v6 game mode called Dual Front. This mode is unique because it has both attackers and defenders on the same team simultaneously, working to control and defend multiple sectors on a large new map called District. Players can respawn after death and switch operators, which is a departure from classic Siege gameplay. The mode emphasizes multitasking and coordination between attacking and defending roles simultaneously. Siege X also changes the game's access model by offering free access to some modes like Quick Play and Dual Front along with a selection of 26 operators, while ranked mode, additional operators, and cosmetics require payment. Players who owned the game before Siege X maintain full access to all modes and their progress. Overall, Siege X aims to reinforce and modernize Rainbow Six Siege's tactical gameplay, combining refreshed visuals, new content, and innovative game modes to keep the experience engaging and strategic while attracting new players and retaining veterans.
