The anniversary operation Prep Phase for Rainbow Six Siege is now available, bringing significant changes to the game. A new operator, important technical updates, and a reset of the reputation system. However, not all players have been able to enjoy the new features—PC users have encountered login issues, and Ubisoft is already working on fixing them.

The Prep Phase operation marks a decade of Rainbow Six Siege and opens the new Y10S1 season. Ubisoft has prepared numerous updates that not only enhance gameplay but also significantly change the technical aspects of the game. The developers have continued to develop their reputation system and have transitioned to DirectX 12, leaving DirectX 11 behind.

Main Update Highlights: What's New?

The new season introduces the operator Rauora, along with a new secondary weapon, a pistol available only to her, the Reaper MK2. Additionally, Ubisoft has reset the reputation system in hopes of making it fairer and more effective. Moreover, Rainbow Six Siege has fully transitioned to DirectX 12, abandoning the outdated DirectX 11 version.

Patch size on different platforms:

• Ubisoft Connect: 3.29 GB
• Steam: 3 GB
• Xbox One: 3.5 GB
• Xbox Series X: 3.7 GB
• PlayStation 4: 3.50 GB

PC Launch Issues and Ubisoft's Response

Despite all the improvements, the launch of Prep Phase was not without issues. Some PC users encountered difficulties logging into the game. Ubisoft has acknowledged the problem and stated on social network X that they are working on resolving it.

The Prep Phase operation is not just a new season but a landmark moment in the entire history of Rainbow Six Siege. It's the beginning of the game's tenth year, which the developers are marking with significant changes in gameplay and technical components. However, the start was not perfect—login issues on PC are dampening the joy of fans.
