NVIDIA Reflex reduces latency and gives you the best system responsiveness -- from the time the mouse is clicked to when the display updates. With lower latency you get the edge on opponents, and gameplay feels more responsive. To learn more about the technology in Rainbow Six Siege and answer your questions, we sat down with Seth Schneider from NVIDIA in the video below!

Rainbow Six Siege now supports NVIDIA Reflex in the Vulkan version of the game and provides a free upgrade to a huge number of GeForce gamers by reducing latency and improving responsiveness for GeForce GTX 10 Series and newer GPUs. In fact, latency reductions are typically better for lower end hardware.

Enabled by a simple toggle in the display settings menu, NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency by up to 25%, giving you a split-second advantage in the heat of the moment.



Being a fraction of a second late on the trigger is the difference between your digital life and death, so reducing system latency can be a huge boon for all of you Rainbow Six Siege players. If you’re looking for more information about NVIDIA Reflex and the additional features that come with it, head over to their website.

Occasionally, life brings us a gift. Something magical and special that flutters into our world only to fade away in the distance, never to be seen again.

But not this time! We’re bringing back the fan-favorite, wholeheartedly goofy and unapologetically wild revamping of the Rainbowverse with the return of the sparkliest event the game as ever seen – complete with new items to add to the Collection.

[h3]FROM MARCH 30TH TO APRIL 6TH, RE-EXPERIENCE THE WHIMSY OF RAINBOW IS MAGIC![/h3]


It’s the return of the Very Important Plushie! Just like you did two years ago, save the fluffiest of hostages in a colorful mission of pure chaos aboard the toy version of Airplane. Let Blackbeard, Montagne, Smoke and Tachanka back into their favorite uniforms to fight over the VIP Teddy Bear.

Need a reminder on which Operators are deployed for the occasion? Ash, Thermite, Bandit, Frost, Castle, Kapkan, Sledge, Thatcher and our Recruit are once again the handpicked units for such a crucial and – totally – serious task. There’s no room to fail!


The world is more beautiful in colors, and you’ll be the most colorful of all with the return of the Rainbow Is Magic Collection.

We’re bringing “tactical cuteness” back for Blackbeard, Montagne, Sledge and the Lord Tachanka by re-releasing their playful looks as bundles. We’re also adding some new exclusive items, including a whimsical weapon skin for Tachanka. No duplicate drops guaranteed!

This is not the main event of the Season – that one is coming later – but it does not mean that you shouldn’t provide more meme-worthy poses adorned in your fanciest wardrobe pieces for all of us to admire.

Log in while the Game mode is live and receive a free Rainbow Is Magic Collection Pack. Purchase Rainbow is Magic bundles with R6 Credits or Collection Packs with R6 Credits or Renown.
