Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege's new season, Operation New Blood, will be released on June 11.

Keep on reading to find out more about Operation New Blood and its hidden changes!

Y9S2 Patch Size

Operation New Blood's patch size will be different depending on the platform you play Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Here are the official patch sizes released by Ubisoft:

• Ubisoft Connect: 3.45 GB
• Steam: 2.8 GB
• XBOX One: 3.19 GB
• XBOX Series X: 3.56 GB
• PlayStation 4: 3.64 GB
• PlayStation 5: 3.29 GB

Compared to the previous season, Operation Deadly Omen, patch sizes are smaller. This is probably because of the lack of brand-new content being added to the game, despite the additions of Sentry and Sentinel.

When will Y9S2 be deployed?

Operation New Blood will be deployed in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege on June 11 at 1 PM UTC.

Players will have the chance to download the new expansion after the maintenance has been completed. Then, the ranked standings will be reset and players will have access to a new battle pass.
