Rainbow Six Siege X isn't going through its best moment. As we approach the game's 10th anniversary, players are quickly losing hope in Ubisoft's FPS. In short terms, Rainbow Six Siege X wasn't the game-changing update the players thought it would be.
For instance, Rainbow Six Siege X's player numbers are rapidly falling on Steam, according to Steam Charts. After averaging 80,000 players in June 2025, the game averaged 35,000 players in October 2025. Sure, the console community isn't included in these numbers; but, still, it means PC's average player numbers have been cut by half.
Keeping this in mind, Save Siege has taken over the show in Siege's community. Just like the overall player numbers, the players' trust in Ubisoft is plummeting too. However, there's still time to keep the boat afloat.
On November 16, Joshua Mills reached the game's community with a clear message, informing players with a brief discussion about the team's approach ahead of Year 11. Shortly after, Ubisoft revealed Rainbow Six Siege X's upcoming season, Operation Tenfold Pursuit.
Operation Tenfold Pursuit will be the final season of Rainbow Six Siege X's Year 10; and, believe us, you don't want to miss out on this one. Including daily rewards for the game's 10th year anniversary, as well as brand new content such as a Thatcher remaster, a Fortress rework, a new playlist, tweaks to hard breachers, and many more features, Operation Tenfold Pursuit could be the start of truly saving Siege.

When is the next season of Rainbow Six Siege?
The next season of Rainbow Six Siege will be Operation Tenfold Pursuit and it will be released on December 2 at 9 AM ET and 2 PM UTC. The season's maintenance is expected to last for an hour.
Operation Tenfold Pursuit is an ambitious season compared to the previous two operations. In Operation High Stakes, for example, the addition of Denari was welcomed by a huge chunk of the game's community; but the fact his shotgun wasn't shared with other operators, the removal of ACOG scopes on defense, the increase of cheating in Siege as well as other factors made Year 10 Season 3 a quiet one—and when it was loud, it was for the wrong reasons.
For this reason, Operation Tenfold Pursuit is seen as a do-or-die season for Rainbow Six Siege. It could be the start of a glorious age for Rainbow Six Siege, but also the beginning of the end. Plain and simple, Operation Tenfold Pursuit is likely to be a keystone in Rainbow Six Siege's most immediate future.
