Originally released December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Rainbow Six Siege later launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2020), the game has received numerous updates, establishing it as a long-running live-service shooter. This major update promises to further extend the franchise's lifespan.

A February 17, 2025, Steam post announced a new operator, Aurora (with deployable bulletproof doors), a new elite skin for Aruni, and a new reputation system rewarding or penalizing player behavior. These additions launch in Season 1 of Year 10, Operation Prep Phase, on March 4, 2025, celebrating the game's 10th anniversary.

Given the Season 10 launch date and the Rainbow Six Siege X showcase timing, the major Siege X upgrades will likely be implemented on live servers at a later date.
