With more than 35 million players, the Rainbow Six Siege community is growing bigger by the day. If you haven’t yet experienced the tense, tactical gameplay of Siege, you’re in luck. All Xbox Live Gold members will be able to try out the full Rainbow Six Siege experience for free beginning Thursday, August 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT, until Sunday, August 19 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
During that time, players will have access to all the content available in the Standard Edition of the game, including every map and mode for PvP online play, as well as the PvE mode, Terrorist Hunt. Along with the free weekend, Xbox One players who decide to purchase Rainbow Six Siege between August 16 and August 27 can save 50% on the Starter, Standard, Advanced Editions and 60% on the Gold and Complete Editions. Xbox Live Gold members who participate in the free weekend and decide to purchase the game will see all of their progress carry over.
If you’re looking for tips to improve, make sure to tune into the Six Major Paris tournament to see the best pro players from around the world compete in Europe’s largest Rainbow Six Siege competition ever. The tournament will take place from August 13 to August 19 and broadcast on https://mixer.com/Rainbow6.
In addition to high-level gameplay, the Six Major Paris will fully reveal Year 3 Season 3, Operation Grim Sky. The new season will feature two new Operators, an American Attacker, and a British Defender, as well as a completely reworked Hereford Base map. Operation Grim Sky launches on September 4, so the free weekend is the perfect time to jump in and get acquainted with all that Siege has to offer before the new season shakes things up.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, tactical shooter, where skill and cunning are equally important, then head to the Gold Member area of the Microsoft Store and download Rainbow Six Siege for free starting tomorrow.
