The announcement that the game has reached 50 million players comes shortly after Ubisoft revealed plans to introduce a Rainbow Six Siege battle pass.
It will be rolled out in two phases, starting with the free, week-long “mini battle pass” Call Me Harry, which will enable players to earn battle points that unlock seven tiers and unique rewards, including an exclusive Harry Chibi charm upon completion.
Call Me Harry will be available during the game’s next season of content, Operation Ember Rise, which launches later in September, while a full-fledged battle pass offering free and paid tracks will be released the season after that.
Rainbow Six brand director Alexandre Remy recently said there’s noRainbow Six Siege sequel planned for this console generationbecause the company doesn’t want to “segregate” its community between different platforms.
