Ubisoft’s critically-acclaimed and fan-favorite tactical first-person shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is available for free this weekend – and fans are excited. Rainbow Six, as a franchise, has been around for a very long time and cultivated a gigantic, dedicated fanbase.
Rainbow Six Siege ushered the franchise into the modern era of gaming and has been a roaring success for Ubisoft. After a rather lukewarm reception on release – the game gradually began to pick up steam, eventually turning into nothing short of a runaway success.
Perhaps in a bid to drum up hype around Rainbow Six and other Ubisoft titles, the game will be available for free on all platforms for this weekend i.e 17/06 – 21/06.
