Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege X

1 star because Steam won’t let me rate in emotional scars 2,000+ hours. (1.1 console, 900pc) I could’ve learned a language, mastered an instrument, or healed from childhood trauma. Instead, I learned how to jiggle peak a doorway while my teammates mentally unzipped their pants and team killed me for existing with 2 more kills than them. You think this is a tactical shooter? No. This is a psychological experiment wrapped in an anti cheat placebo, duct taped to a treadmill of rage and sarcasm. The devs say it’s about strategy. Reality? It’s about who can swing harder, faster, and more erratically than a raccoon on bath salts. Let’s talk audio….oh sorry, I meant the haunting whispers of regret. It’s surround sound if surround sound came with gaslighting. Hear a guy above you? Surprise! he’s below, no in your walls, actually he’s already teabagging your corpse with a victory charm he got from logging in during operation health. My headset wasn’t backwards. My hope was. And then there’s the operator reworks. Remember Blackbeard? He used to be a meme with a glass jaw. Now he’s got a riot shield taped to his dreams, runs through walls like a Kool-Aid man with a vengeance, and beams you with an AR while air thrusting yelling get sum. If you suck, you pick a shield. If you’re cracked and sadistic, you also pick a shield. It’s the circle of toxicity. Oh, and realism? Don’t even. Sledge is Master Chief now. Dude’s cosplaying Halo with a gravity hammer, breaking walls and my will to play. Blitz looks like he stepped out of Warframe to show me what Hiroshima saw a half second before God closed the curtains. Fiinka , who I’m pretty sure is undead now, juice boxes her teammates to super soldier status while rocking a skin that makes you question if this game’s still rated M or if it descended into one of the 9 gates of hell. Then there’s Glaz, our heat seeking Soviet Terminator. He sits outside, scoped in like he’s IRS auditing your life decisions, waiting to ruin your round and possibly your relationship. Meanwhile Ash is still doing Ash thingsno hitbox, no brakes, and no remorse. Full sends a site like a chihuahua that heard a doorbell. And let’s not forget Ranked, aka “Social Darwinism with packet loss.” There’s no such thing as fair matches. You either queue with a hacker from Kazakhstan who crash lands your game with 40 kills and a bad mic, or you get matched with 4 actual potatoes and an 8-year-old with Bluetooth audio delay. Hidden MMR? Yeah it’s real. And it works against you. You’re not gaining elo, you’re digging through drywall with a spoon while the cheaters have jackhammers and dev skins. This game didn’t fall off. It tripped, broke its spine, looked up and said ‘worth’, then monetized the ambulance ride. And yet… I still play. Why? Because therapy is expensive and nothing humbles the soul like being flashbanged 8 times by some Asian chick, and your team screaming at you for breathing wrong. Would I recommend it? Only to people I deeply resent or to my future self when I’m feeling a little too mentally stable.

i like how i have never hit silver and yet i go up against diamonds and champs, great game boobisoft

Walked 3 steps died. Teammate sneezed and shot me in the spine. Saw a drone. Shot it. It was mine. Reinforced the wrong wall. Got called a government experiment. Defended site alone with 3 HP and anxiety. Clutched. Got team-killed next round for being “too cocky.” Haven’t seen sunlight in 4 ranked matches. I am the hostage now. 100% realistic tactical experience. Would cry again.

Lost my account and Ubisofts customer service refused to help recover it so I lost everything I had in siege.

This has to be one of the most toxic, broken, unfair, stressful, depressing, rage-inducing, hacker-infested games out there. But because I have Stockholm Syndrome, 10/10 will recommend to fellow masochists.

Makes me wanna throw multiple flash bangs into a room with a eptileptic person in it and yell cachow every time it goes off.

Once this game was great. After sometime, Cheaters began to show up more and more, and Ubi seems to be unable to do anything about it. Oh, wait, actually they did, they removed Linux Support for their BattleEye anticheat altogether because they think that the majority of cheaters are probably using Linux? Anyways, Don't waste your time with this game. There are better alternatives with less cheating and more Linux support.

They made the game free and didnt give elite edition or any bonus to people who purchased it years ago...

Fun game. Tho there is a huge problem with the lack of femboys that are present in this game.

The new siege X sound system sounds like my character has a severe ear infection in both ears. It genuinely sounds like ive got a fishtank filled with water on my head. Barricades being broken across the map create a weird echo as if you were in the room with it, yet people sprinting right next to you are nearly silent. What in the actual f did they do to the sound

What siege X is is its literally just what they did t Overwatch when they added a 2. Absolutely F*ck all. Got almost 700 hours on the game and it has been going downhill since 3 years ago when they apparently "started" working on siege x. This joke took them 3 years to cook up and they burned it. Just dont bother.

this game is the worst combanation of cheaters and bad teammates ive ever played 0/10 will be playing for another 1k hours

I bought this game when it came out years ago and put a good amount of time in. Fell off of playing it after the mass amount of operators and just wasn't having fun in the game. Now "Siege X" releases, and I can't even play the original game I paid for? I HAVE to play the "newer and better" edition? AND pay again to play competitive? Wild. Get bent Ubisoft.

I hate this game like an abusive ex. Majority hate it, it's toxic she hits me calls me names. But every once in a while it's amazing and it keeps calling me back like baby I've changed I'm not like that anymore And she is right she is worse every time I come back.

played for about 8 years, i personally knew ubisoft would mess this up but they messed siege up so bad, audio is beyond atrocious. designs for menu and scoreboard are trash and bulky and just so much more 8 years and im done playing siege now thanks for ruining it ubi would have love to keep playing siege but not whatever this game is now shouldn't be called siege thats for sure

You'll definitely have both arguments on whether this new update is good or not. But personally I bought this game for what it was at the time, not for what it turned into. Every major "rework" on this game has slowly turned this into your average cash grab arcade FPS. The new graphics look cartoony, the new audio seems to prioritize gun sounds from across the map and environmental map sounds over footsteps from enemies 5 feet away. I don't understand why ubisoft would take their prize game which gained many players through all the recent hype in the past years and completely change many important and aesthetic aspects that the player base enjoyed. On top of that, bad UI changes and smaller details. The most infuriating being that enemies are now highlighted in red, like it's some x-defiant type shooter. If you are playing this game for the first time, and getting it while its free, then maybe, just maybe you'll enjoy it.

I touch grass. Turns out, the real world isn’t as toxic as this game’s player base. Don't waste every ounce of serotonin on virtual points that mean absolutely nothing in real life. I seriously recommend it. Some of you act like this game is the only thing keeping you alive, and it shows. Step outside. Breathe air that hasn’t been filtered through your mom’s basement. People on here who sound like they haven’t seen sunlight in years. Their entire identity is built around this game, you need to touch some grass.

Use to be good. then map changes, gameplay changes, audio too. Games like this should have been kept the same way the game was at its peak but as soon as ubisoft sees money, they drop everything and don't care about the games anymore. Its pathetic how bad the game is now with "siege x" As someone who had spent over $1000 in the game and hundreds in accounts, I suggest to not buy or give to your worst enemy. Nothing is more cruel to play this game and get stage 12 depression and anger. It's like a drug. I lost a monitor and headset to this game before, and that was before "siege x." This game will make you an alcoholic and be that person that don't say thank you when someone holds the door for you. For the people that are still going to play, I'm truly sorry, there's no hope for you.

what a joke game from a joke company please just close all of your studios already and fade into obscurity, ubisoft

when i started playing this game i still had a penis. After playing for a few hours i ripped it off in rage. I messaged mr.clancy about it and they said they cant reimburse me for another penis, because of the abnormal size and shape of the old penis the new one is going to cost a significant amount of money. Please if anyone can help me im begging.

Bought this game 2 f*cking times and they decided to make it free and from what I understand, give ZERO compensation to the players who wasted their money on this hacker fest of a game.

I'd actually rather get raped and mutilated than play quick match or deal with the pick and ban system. The homunculi at ubisoft that run this game are incapable of making ONE SINGLE good change without fucking literally everything else up, anyway add standard back

Terrorist Hunt removed from the game. That was only reason I played this game. Garbage

Re-released the exact same game to revamp their audience, 0 notable differences from R6S = scummy company

Ubislop has been getting too soft with chat filtering. cant even say 'goon' without getting flagged

Lost my account and Ubisofts customer service refused to help recover it so I lost everything I had in siege. Dogshit company i hope u go under

Good fps game and is now for free!! Sometimes a cheater comes to play in a match in quick match Overall is good 10/10 For now playing on asus rog ally z1 extreme https://youtu.be/HSSKqiydHpo?si=v-0QHFwJ7EAci7V8

the sound positively blows, holy shit i dont think it could be that bad, game looks great, plays like shit now

game froze on match point and crashed won game got no rank from it and also banned for 24h

this game is so great and I can say even simple but don't play it if you have a low computer or you have a bad internet connection.

ubishit is terrible for making Siege X. The game has been dying for years now and this was there chance for redemption and they blew it. Nothing is different ,which is bad in sieges case because there needed to be some change. Not a lot of changes to lose the integrity of the game, but this is a pathetic excuse of a release. Siege X makes the CS2 launch look like a whole new game. I do not recommend new or returning players to this game. Unless you want to know what if feels like to play a game from 2015. The game will not be saved from Siege X. this game was amazing in its prime, but its safe to say well have to wait for the Siege X2 release in 10 years to see the game we loved make its great return (wouldn't get my hopes up, its ubisoft).

20$ wasted Literally bought this game and it became free. I dont even care about ranked or some crap like that i was playing casuals anyways and get in lobbies with either cancerous tryhards, straight up lobotomites or cheaters. Dont play this game You still have time to save yourself

After updating to the last version of the game - I've lost all f of my earned progress over the past years. I only have the starting characters left. Thanks to the small indie company

Many thanks to Ubisoft for providing access to this game/content. Rainbow Six Siege continues to prove itself as one of the most intense and strategic shooters on the market. As someone who’s played a wide range of tactical games, I can confidently say Siege offers a level of depth that few titles match. Every round feels meaningful because it demands not just aim, but communication, planning, and adaptability. What struck me early on is how every operator completely changes the flow of the match. Whether I was breaching a wall as Thermite, anchoring as Smoke, or lurking as Caviera, no two rounds ever felt the same. The destructible environments aren’t just gimmicks they’re integral to gameplay. Knowing when and where to open up a wall, floor, or hatch can decide the outcome of a round. That level of dynamic map interaction still feels unmatched in the genre. Despite being nearly a decade old, Siege feels fresh thanks to consistent updates and seasonal content. Ubisoft has done a commendable job evolving the game over time. Operator balancing, new maps, event modes everything adds up to a constantly shifting meta that rewards players who stick around and learn the game’s deeper layers. That said, Siege isn’t for everyone. The learning curve is steep. New players will likely feel overwhelmed at first, but if you push through those early hours, the reward is one of the most satisfying FPS experiences out there. When everything clicks, your drone spots the enemy, your teammate distracts them, and you flank for the win, there’s nothing quite like it. Whether you play solo or with a coordinated squad, Rainbow Six Siege delivers tension, strategy, and the kind of high-stakes gameplay that keeps you coming back.

damn they messed my siege up. came back after forever and they have removed night maps (understandable-ish) & removed terrorist NPC co-op modes (which I played lots of with friends as I enjoy the game's environments and mechanics, but don't always want to play with sweats), which now forces you to play only thru online matchmaking. And now they've totally changed (botched) the sound engine, which was by far my most loved thing about the game which few others had. Lockdown is still my favorite RS game, as it cannot be retroactively bastardized by ubi, unlike siege and all other live-ops games ruined by battle pass trends & greed. Game used to feel cool & immersive to play, nowadays it plays like COD

Ubisoft took away years of grind by release this sloppy re-edition of siege X They removed from my account 16 operators, worth a whopping, by nowadays prices 160k renown. They gave me 40k renown for "already owning" some of the free operators Fuck you ubisoft. I hope your company disappears for real when tencent buy you out. Of course, after several back and forth with the support, they keep spewing nonsense about gamepass expiring or whatever, despite me having played this piece of garbage day 1, and having unlocked every missing operator before the game was on gamepass. Also, the support discord is USELESS. Ubisoft, i swear to god, i'll go to china and dance with tencent employees when you are finally ashes.

Despite all the bad updates over time, I've always loved Rainbow Six Siege, which is why I've played 600 hours. But the recent X update has ruined the game. Just like CS2, the developers want to change the tradition that makes a game iconic for all players into something new that completely destroys it. All those new skins animations Valorant wannabe typeshit... I uninstalled quick as fuck after tasting what this new Rainbow Six Siege "X" was all about.

[b]Free-to-Play for Everyone — Except Those Who Paid[/b] [b]Paid full price, got nothing[/b] As someone who purchased Siege before it became free-to-play, this transition feels especially disappointing. Most games that go free-to-play offer long-time supporters something — a Premium tier, cosmetics, in-game currency — a way to show appreciation. Ubisoft, on the other hand, gave absolutely nothing. No upgrades. No content unlocks. No recognition at all. [b]Paywall in core modes[/b] To make things worse, Ubisoft introduced a new structure where competitive modes like Ranked and Siege Cup are now locked behind a paywall for new players. This creates an unnecessary divide in the community and feels more like a monetization strategy than a design choice. [b]Loyalty means nothing[/b] The move clearly prioritizes revenue over loyalty. Gameplay-wise, Siege is still a solid tactical shooter — but the way Ubisoft handled this transition shows little respect for paying customers and long-time players.

Before this F2P era I would really recommend Siege but now? Not really. It is still Siege but they heavily nerfed income of in-game currency, as well as Battle pass progress. Now it is grindy AF. But hey, it is Ubisoft, right? Who would have thought ...

dog water game problems that have existed since the drop of this game in 2016 are still there and they just change the name to make you think its different.

Siege X was supposed to be an upgrade but it is a total letdown. The sound is completely muffled and there are a ton of cheaters.

there is zero and I mean ZERO reason for me to be going against a 5 stack of champions in my FIRST FUCKING GAME OF THE SEASON. Uninstalling this dogshit game until they fix the FUCKING MATCHMAKING.

good game. idk why there are some oddballs in my replies, ignore them

You guys managed to make this game shittier than it was before, HUD and sounds are terrible, feels like you have plugged ears from the pressure.

Not the game it once was. Totally left the original mechanics and style in order to be another shooter from the stack with almost no fun.

They ruined it, and made it free to play, Veterans who paid for the game also only got a single Alpha pack and it isn't even worth our while, those who have played this game before will absolutely hate with what they did to the mechanics and the fact that your ablilies need to recharge now is a terrible idea. Who ever is currently the CEO of this game needs to quit this shit is absolutely horse crap and I am severely dissapointed in how this game progressed and transitioned through it's lifetime. And for someone who played back when it originally came out for the Xbox One this is just god awful and making this game also free to play will only make the toxicity problem worse. My girlfriend had joined one lobby and by the end of it the players told her to uninstall the game.

Server issue And it's ubi. I didn't know what to expect, but the expectation was low and they didn't exceed it. Great job as always ubi

It's like Amber Heard, one day you wake up and there is sh*t next to your pillow, I imagine that feeling is what it feels like to play this game.

Ever since Siege X came out it crashes almost every time I start a game and it's not cause of my PC cause it runs other games just fine with a 7800XT and 7600x, it might be a PC or AMD issue but until they fix my game crashing every round it's a one star game.

If your a OG fan like me you likely rember how this game was a tactical FPS we fell in love with years ago Obv not anymore. I've basically given up on this game and I'm ashamed I bought it years ago one of the worser ubisoft IP's ik they made siege F2P to make up for XDefiant's death but XDefiant I actually enjoyed. Siege I stopped enjoying it a few years back and with it now being F2P its only gonna get worse much worse I will prop only install it to claim my veteran rewards but that's it nothing else this update litteraly does nothing but add some repel changes slight graphics changes that most prop wont notice or care about and prop mess up optimization on older PC's and now the hacking problem is only gonna get worse
