On June 10, Ubisoft released Rainbow Six Siege X and Operation Daybreak. Almost two months later, it's fair to say the update transformed Ubisoft's FPS, as the release of modernized maps, destructible ingredients, the 6v6 game mode Dual Front, rappelling and audio reworks, weapon inspection, and many other features completely shook the community's average experience.
Despite all of the positives in the arrival of Rainbow Six Siege X, Operation Dybreak has been full of ups and downs especially due to the increase of cheaters, which was acknowledged by Ubisoft in their Y10S2 Mid-Season Roadmap Update.
Hopefully, Ubisoft get the situation back on track with the arrival of Year 10 Season 3, which is Siege X's next season. On August 12, Ubisoft unveiled that the next season of Rainbow Six Siege X will be called Operation High Stakes.
Fortunately for the players, more details of Operation High Stakes will be released soon as Siege X's Operation High Stakes will be revealed on August 17, 2025, at 1 PM ET.
But, when is the season being released? What is coming to the game in Year 10 Season 3? Well, keep on reading, because we have the answers.
When is Operation High Stakes Rainbow Six Siege X coming out?
The next season of Rainbow Six Siege X is expected to be released on September 2, 2025.
While Ubisoft haven't revealed the official date yet, we can say Siege X's Year 10 Season 3 should be released on September 2 because new seasons are often released on a Tuesday, two weeks after the conclusion of the Test Server.
As we now know Operation High Stakes will be revealed on August 17, and considering the Test Server tends to open its doors the following day, so, in this case, on August 18, everything points towards the first couple of days of September.
What's coming in Siege X's Operation High Stakes?
With the Operation High Stakes reveal taking place in less than a week from now, it's difficult to say what Ubisoft will add to Rainbow Six Siege X in the game's upcoming season. However, here's a brief look at a bunch of features and updates that have already been confirmed:
- Ubisoft to add new defender in Siege X's Operation High Stakes
- Ubisoft to add three new modernized maps, including Lair, Nighthaven Labs, and Consulate
- Ubisoft to potentially add new shotgun to Rainbow Six Siege X in Operation High Stakes
- Siege Cup to become a weekly tournament in Siege X's Operation High Stakes
- Operator balancing changes
- Security improvements
- Update to Siege X's esports tab
- And more!
For those unaware, as announced in the Year 10 Roadmap, the operator that will be added to Siege X's Operation High Stakes will be a male defender from Switzerland. His gadget, which has yet to be revealed, is likely to have something to do with lasers.
