Rainbow Six Siege X system requirements

The Rainbow Six Siege X system requirements contain some relatively high demands for a competitive shooter, but only if you're aiming for high frame rates at 4K resolution.

Rainbow Six Siege X is live, and it's already sparked a surge for Ubisoft's FPS

It's been nearly a decade since Ubisoft first launched Rainbow Six Siege. In the time since, the multiplayer FPS has improved enormously, attracting a devoted audience and cementing itself as one of the best options in a genre that also includes PUBG, Valorant, and Marvel Rivals. To keep that momentum going into its tenth year and beyond, Ubisoft has put out a sweeping overhaul of Siege with today's launch of Rainbow Six Siege X. Even though it's only been out for a few hours, this decision seems to have been a good one, as the game's already attracted a massive player base and strong reviews on Steam.
