Rainbow Six Siege is going to be free to play for a limited time starting from tomorrow for an entire week, through to the 9th of September, and will be heavily discounted after the free period should you wish to stay on with the game.

The free trial includes full access to 20 legacy operators, and any progress you make during the free period will, of course, be carried over should you decide to buy the game. It comes as the next DLC expansion, Ember Rise, is due to drop, so we expect this free event will be tied into the official launch. Ember Rise is already live on the test servers currently, and the release is expected in September.

The game will be discounted by 70% for all versions of the game including Deluxe, Gold and the Ultimate version. As we reported previously, the game will also be getting Battle Passes too once Ember Rise launches, and the first one will be free for everyone to try.
