The Twitter post also shared a lot of other exciting information regardingRainbow Six Extraction. Although originally announced to be a full-priced title,Rainbow Six Extractionwill now be priced at $39.99 for the Standard Edition and or the Deluxe Edition for $49.99 which includes 3 bonus packs according to the Twitter post. That’s not all though. The post also announces the Buddy Pass, which allows friends on any platform to play for free for up to 14 days. Lastly, post-launch content coming toRainbow Six Extractionwill be “completely” free.
This a ton of new information forRainbow Six Extractionis that more than likely going to entice initially reluctant observers of the title. Although the idea behindRainbow Six Extractionis interesting, there was a ton of pushback over the fact it was a fully priced game that appeared to just be a copy of the popularRainbow Six SiegeOutbreak event. Many were disappointed by howRainbow Six Extractionlooked and thankfully Ubisoft noticed that.
Ubisoft delayedRainbow Six Extraction, and although it’s not clear what new changes were made in this time, with four extra months Ubisoft seems to have changed how it will tackle the cooperative multiplayer game such as reducing the price and adding a friend pass. With 14 days, a player should be able to get a real feel for the game and understand if it’s something they would want to invest in. It’s not entirely clear how much restriction is put on these 14 days, though and it’s possible not everything is available to free players.
As for free post-launch content, it also sounds exciting and implies that Ubisoft plan on supporting the title for a while. Ubisoft games such asAssassin’s Creedtypically have paid post-launch contentthat adds a considerable amount of new content so it’s interesting to see Ubisoft sayRainbow Six Extraction will have free post-launch content. Hopefully, this content also adds some significant updates such as new maps, operators, or weapons. Regardless, those that were interested inRainbow Six Extractionnow have a lot more reasons to buy it.
Rainbow Six Extractionreleases July 18, 2025 on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
