Playing Rainbow Six Siege X for free is honestly awesome if you're just starting out or not sure if you wanna commit. Like, they let you access Quick Match, Unranked, and that new Dual Front mode without spending anything. You only get a few operators, so you can't use every character, but there's enough choice to actually have fun and win matches.

From what I've seen and what my squad says, the game doesn’t shove paid stuff in your face nonstop. Yeah, you see all the cool costumes and some people have more options, but you won’t get stomped just because you didn’t pay. The free operators are still legit good. The only real bummer is if you're really into customizing, since most of that is locked.

I think it’s a smart way to do free-to-play. Makes it so anyone can jump in, mess around, and get good before deciding to buy more stuff. I actually love that approach. It feels fair and chill, and you can always upgrade later if you get hooked — which is what happened to me, not gonna lie. Definitely recommend giving the free version a shot!
