Today, Ubisoft announced that Crimson Heist, the first season of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and Windows PC, including Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service.
This new season brings innovations with the addition of the Argentinian operator Flores, the Border map rework, the new Gonne-6 secondary weapon and the Match Replay beta, amongst other updates.
Additionally, players will be able to play Rainbow Six Siege and Crimson Heist for free from 18th March to 25th March.

In Crimson Heist, players will discover a brand-new attacker: Flores. Equipped with an original gadget called the RCE – Ratero Charge, Flores can deploy a remote-controlled explosive device at his feet and drive it through the map during a limited period of time until it detonates in a powerful explosion. Flores is armed with an AR33 or a SR-25 as a primary weapon and a GSH-18 as a secondary weapon. In addition to the new operator, players will have access to a reimagined Border map, which has been newly reworked with an interior balcony connecting the East staircase to Break room. The bathroom has also been extended to be connected to the Tellers. Players will play in a new challenging environment with some entries blocked, a reduced number of destructible walls and an additional outside staircase.
