Rainbow Six Siege X director says free currency gain has been 'buffed' after complaints: 'The goal wasn't to make it a harder grind for players'

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. Otherwise, the graphical overhaul has had a relatively minimal effect on the hardware you'll need to enjoy the next generation of Siege.


While you won't need the best graphics card to get great performance in Rainbow Six Siege at 1080p, if you want to push for 120fps at 4K, then you're going to need a fairly decent gaming PC. Comparing these new specs to the original Rainbow Six Siege system requirements shows just how far we've come in the last decade of PC hardware, even if the specs are still in line with what's expected from modern 3D games.
