Ubisoft has confirmed that players will be able to test out Rainbow Six Siege X starting tomorrow, May 20, and outlined all of the updates players can expect throughout the rest of the year.
On June 10, Rainbow Six Siege X, an overhaul of the first-person shooter, will arrive. It adds a new 6v6 mode called Dual Front, updates several maps, improves player onboarding, and more. On Sunday, Ubisoft also revealed that Siege X will include a dedicated in-game esports tab and that PC players will be able to test out all of these upgrades early through a test server session that will be live between 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on May 20 and 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on June 9. Ubisoft is increasing the minimum, high, and ultra PC- spec requirements alongside the launch of Siege X, which it detailed in the image below.

Additionally, Ubisoft teased what’s to come throughout the rest of Year 10. Siege X launches alongside a new season called Operation Daybreak. It redesigns the Defender Operator named Clash, who can now deploy her shield and activate its taser remotely. Operation Daybreak also brings other balancing updates to the game, such as electricity slowing Operators rather than damaging them now, reducing limb damage, and adjusting the abilities of Blackbeard, Jackal, Jäger, Thunderbird, and Sledge. The developers also plan to be more efficient in making anti-cheat updates throughout the season.
