Rainbow Six Siege's 10th Anniversary

Originally released on December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Rainbow Six Siege later launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020), the game has enjoyed consistent updates throughout its lifespan, establishing itself as a long-running live-service shooter. Rainbow Six Siege X promises to further extend the franchise's longevity.
A February 17, 2025 Steam post announced the arrival of a new operator, Aurora, with deployable bulletproof doors, a new elite skin for Aruni, and a new reputation system rewarding or penalizing player behavior. These additions launch in Season 1 of Year 10, Operation Prep Phase, on March 4, 2025, in celebration of the game's 10th anniversary.
Given the Season 10 launch date and the Rainbow Six Siege X showcase timing, the major upgrades will likely be implemented on live servers at a later date.
