Operation System Override | Rainbow Six Siege | Ubisoft (US)

RANKED 3.0

The most popular playlist is now more competitive and rewarding for everyone. We've removed the hidden Matchmaking Rating (MMR) - your skill is your rank.

We use your rank, squad size, and time and location when matchmaking to make sure teams are balanced. There's also a restriction to ensure less discrepancy between players on the same squad. Squadmates need to be within three ranks of each other, or two for Diamond and Champion ranks.

To help add more distinction among elite players, we've added new divisions to the Champion rank – Champion I Champion II, Champion III, Champion IV, Champion V. The Champion Leaderboard starts with Champion I.

Placement matches are back! At the start of each season, all ranks will be reset and players must complete 5 placement matches to receive a new one. These matches help us calibrate your skill, but your performance in previous seasons also has an influence. Every match matters.

Enjoy a new Ranked rewards track with more competitive coins to celebrate your achievements all season long! Winning counts as two matches completed along the track. Charm and card background rewards are included in the track and tied to each rank you receive. Regardless of the rank you reach, you can still earn the exclusive seasonal headgear just by playing.

MAP MAINTENANCE

NEW MAP: CALYPSO CASINO

Inspired by Rainbow Six: Vegas, the iconic Calypso Casino arrives in Siege! While staying true to the essence of the original map, it’s been thoughtfully enhanced to meet Siege’s competitive standards.

With a new crane for rooftop access, a basement spawn for scaling up the casino façade, and an expanded drone vent network to navigate, verticality opens entirely new routes, strategies, and counterplay options.

Calypso Casino has been added to the map pool of Ranked, Unranked, Quick Match, Team Deathmatch, Landmark Drill and Clear House.

The Discovery playlist will be available from June 2 to 9 with only Calypso Casino available in its map pool.

MODERNIZED MAPS

This season adds modernized touches to Emerald Plains, Kanal, and Outback, including visual enhancements, improved lightning, shadows, 4K textures, and destructible ingredients.

MOUSE & KEYBOARD SUPPORT ON CONSOLES

M&K is coming soon to consoles! Starting mid-season, their use will be allowed in the PC cross play pool, but will still be forbidden in other pools. Teams with console players will have stronger communication, as M&K makes text chat available to all. You can decide whether a Custom Game allows mouse and keyboard with a new Input Device option added to match settings.

ANTI-TOXICITY IMPROVEMENTS

ABANDON PENALTY UPDATES

Abandon penalties will be calculated based on time spent away from a match, rather than a fixed penalty.
Matchmaking penalties will scale based on the amount of negative units a player accumulates in the Abandon action of the Reputation Center.

PLAYLIST

RANKED MAP ROTATIONS

We listened to your feedback, and the Ranked playlist will continue rotating its map pool at the start of Season 2 and again mid-season to keep gameplay fresh and maintain a strong competitive foundation.

The Ranked map pool expands to three groups. Every map ban will feature two maps from the seasonal and pro pools and one that is showcased.

• Pro League maps remain fixed for the full season and continue to align with Pro League competitive standards.
• Showcased maps are hand-selected by the level design team and are highlighted in the map ban when available. Each showcase lasts a few weeks, starting with Calypso Casino.
• Seasonal maps rotate between updates, refreshing the Ranked experience each season.

At the beginning of the season, Calypso Casino is in and Villa, Skyscraper, Theme Park, and Kanal are out.

ROTATING TRIAL OPERATORS

Each week, enjoy unlimited free access to a selection of 6 Operators to try before adding to your roster. The 3 Attackers and 3 Defenders on trial will be available for a week-long period before a new selection rotates in.

You can play trial Operators for free in these playlists:

• Enlisted
• Quick Match
• Team Deathmatch
• Unranked
• Ranked
• Siege Cup

There may be less than 6 trial Operators available if you already own one or more of them.
