Rainbow Six Siege was released several years ago but it still boasts a massive player base. If you’re someone who isn’t aware of the game’s past, read to know when Rainbow Six Siege came out and left its mark on the FPS genre of gaming.

Unique operators and accurate shooting mechanics are quite common in FPS games. Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, and Valorant have benefited greatly from this model. However, Rainbow Six Siege stands out among these games because it allows you to be more tactical and matches in closed quarters make the overall experience far more action-packed and intense.

Although Rainbow Six Siege has received consistent content updates, it is certainly not a new game. As a result, the community is currently divided between veterans who’ve been playing from day one and newbies who want to try out a new shooter game.

If you’re someone who wants to try out Rainbow Six Siege but wants to know when the game came out, this guide will help you.
