Rainbow Six Siege Upcoming 10th Year Anniversary

Originally launched on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Rainbow Six Siege has since expanded to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020. Ubisoft has consistently updated the game, ensuring its place as one of the longest-running live-service shooters across multiple platforms. The forthcoming Siege X update is poised to further cement its legacy.

In a Steam post dated February 17, 2025, Ubisoft introduced a new operator named Aurora, who can deploy bulletproof doors, along with a new elite skin for operator Aruni and a novel reputation system. This system will reward or penalize players based on their in-game behavior throughout a season. These features will be introduced in Season 1 of the game’s 10th year, titled Operation Prep Phase, launching on March 4, 2025, as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations.

Given the timing between Season 10’s launch and the Siege X showcase, it appears that the major upgrades will be rolled out to the live servers following the event.
