Jun 11, 2025Rainbow Six: Siege is still an excellent and entertaining tactical shooter, one that many continue to copy and be inspired by. This isn't changing and frankly if you have the time, skill, and patience to learn this game, you will be massively engaged. However, as far as an upgrade goes, Siege X doesn't really add a whole lot.

Jun 11, 2025Quality of life and balancing changes set the stage for the next ten years of Rainbow Six Siege X, forging strong foundations that bring the FPS game roaring into 2025, but retreading old ground with map and operator remasters feels like it’s running out of mileage. Fortunately, the 6v6 Dual Front mode breaks the mold with something new, and a reworked sound system will have you relearning the game as if it were Year One all over again.

Jun 24, 2025Even 10 years in, Rainbow Six Siege X remains a lot of fun to play, and mastering every Operator will be enough to keep me coming back for more long after I’ve finished this review. With its outstanding Bomb mode as its centerpiece, this is a great option for anyone who likes their shooters with a healthy dose of strategy, with just as much focus on planning and outwitting the competition as there is in beating them to the shot. There are elements like the limits to destructability that show the age of Siege’s underlying technology, and I have concerns about how unlockables ratchet up the pressure to spend on this slightly unconventional free-to-play model. But it’s tough to beat the thrill of a tense match versus another squad of Operators. The X update is a solid step forward for Siege, a great jumping-in point for anyone returning, and just the right spot for those looking to breach these walls for the first time.

Jun 11, 2025Siege X is a bold, uneven evolution that both honors and undercuts what made Rainbow Six special in the first place. It’s more polished and more ambitious, but also less focused, less grounded, and occasionally less fun. Whether you love it or hate it will depend entirely on what you want from Siege in its tenth year.

Jul 21, 2025So, will I be returning to Rainbow Six Siege X regularly? I’m not so sure. The wall to climb is steep, and it still doesn’t cater to the tactical, single-player-minded fan I’ve always been. Yet, I can’t deny that it’s a successful refresh. For current veterans or returning players who already know what they’re signing up for, this is the best version of Siege there has ever been. It’s a modern, polished, and brutally challenging tactical shooter. Just know that the fresh paint does little to soften the blows.
