During the Rainbow Six Siege X Showcase that took place in Atlanta, Georgia, Ubisoft revealed all of the brand-new features and updates that will be introduced to the game on June 10.
With so many updates and changes coming to Rainbow Six Siege in Rainbow Six Siege X, we have written a general Rainbow Six Siege X guide for you to know more about all of the changes and brand-new features coming to the game in Year 10 Season 2.
As confirmed by Ubisoft Montreal's Creative Director Alexander Karpazis in the Rainbow Six Siege X Showcase, the first international competition of the 2025 Rainbow Six Siege esports calendar Reload will be played on Rainbow Six Siege X.
In other words, Reload will offer the community a first look at how professional players compete with the game's upcoming features, including a brand-new audio system, new rappelling animations, map overhauls, destructible ingredients, and many more.
However, the most notable change will be operator bans. With Rainbow Six Siege X, Ubisoft has decided to change how operator bans work as both teams will now ban an operator before the start of the round. The bans will be reset after the conclusion of the first half. It will be interesting to see how teams work around the new operator ban system, and how they use it to transform the game as rounds go by.
Unfortunately, Rainbow Six Siege fans have yet to wait two months until the start of Reload, as the tournament will be played between May 8 and May 18 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Luckily, you don't have to wait so much to play Rainbow Six Siege X as the Rainbow Six Siege X Beta is already available. Here's more about it, including how to get access as well as the minimum system requirements on PC!
