Ubisoft has officially announced the highly anticipated return of the unique Showdown mode in Rainbow Six Siege X. The event kicks off on June 25, promising to bring back the Wild West atmosphere and the distinctive gameplay that fans have long cherished. 

The Showdown mode differs from classic Rainbow Six Siege matches with its style and rules — it's an intense 3-on-3 duel on the themed Fort Truth map with a limited set of weapons and no standard gadgets. This format encourages players to focus on skill and teamwork in a completely new environment, making the event particularly appealing.

History and Uniqueness of Showdown Mode

Showdown first appeared in the game in the summer of 2019 and has since become a cult event for the Siege community. Its essence is simple yet thrilling: Western-style battles where every shot can be decisive. The mode offered players a break from the standard tactical style, immersing them in dynamic and spectacular duels, making it a favorite among many.

The launch of Showdown in Rainbow Six Siege X is scheduled for June 25. Alongside the event, an important hotfix will be released to address technical issues, including game crashes and sound problems — one of the most common player complaints. Additionally, Ubisoft will add an option to enable or disable crossplay for console gamers, and for veterans, there will be manual distribution of rewards — some users previously did not receive their deserved bonuses due to technical issues.

The return of Showdown is an opportunity to once again experience the Wild West atmosphere and dynamic duels. Moreover, bug fixes, sound improvements, and new crossplay settings demonstrate that Ubisoft is listening to the community and striving to make Rainbow Six Siege X an even more comfortable and engaging project. For fans and newcomers, it's a great reason to dive back into the game and experience fresh emotions in one of Siege's most unique modes.
