Rainbow Six Siege has been an ongoing success for Ubisoft for almost a decade and shows no signs of slowing down. But not everyone is excited about the weekend's announcement of Siege's new subscription service, called R6 membership.It promises access to exclusive content drops, animated skins and premium battle passes forド10 per month.

The upcoming year of Siege 9 Season 2 will feature a "complete remastered" of the original operator of the game Recruit, which will get a new look and a new attacker and defender archetype that will allow you to choose two different gadgets depending on the role selected. Instead of a new operator, the owners of the Premium Battle Pass will get a voucher that can be redeemed for all currently in the line-up.Those who already own all the operators of Rainbow Six Siege will be given 600R6 credits instead.

The update also introduces nerf defenders Fenrir and Solis, who "were too strong in the game and demanded greater attention from the attackers."The number of F-Natt Dread mines Fenrir can Carry Decreased to four The new endless drill mode gives players the opportunity to improve their abilities without being mercilessly bombarded by other humans, and of course, other further

However, what some players are dissatisfied with is the addition of R6 membership. It is. For110 per month, or 8 for 80 per year sign-up, subscribers get an ongoing stream of premium content that keeps your Ops equipped with the best exclusive gear"."The monthly content drop includes "time-limited legendary items (sometimes animated for extra talent) [and] epic operator bundles", montly Cosmetics "Bravo Packs" and full access to premium Battle passes with 10-level skips.

This weekend's announcement at the Manchester Majors (via PCGamesN) was not what you would call a warm reception:

The reaction is not very good on Reddit. Some redditor have expressed dissatisfaction with the rollout of the new monetization system amid a relative lack of content in the new season and ongoing problems with scammers. There are also some flattering comparisons with a similar Fortnite Crew subscription service.

"I understand that they took the idea from Fortnite in their It crew membership," Slipstreamspace117 wrote. "But the difference is that Fortnite is free to play the game, and R6 is not."

"In Fortnite Crew one, when you get a *single*month sub at the right time, you get 2 battle passes (we also offer Rocket League ones), 1000 currencies, an exclusive set from the crew (+first style" and when you add the value of the currency you get from those two passes, that's an extra bonus. It is 3000 currency. For all of that. 12€iirc'Lmao. On the other hand, here you get a set after three months and level up with a shitty RNG pack.

Although not yet a review bombing, comments about the new subscription service have sparked Steam's recent negative reaction. It is also shown in user reviews.

It is not yet known how long the upset will last. The Premium Battle Pass can be purchased separately for 1,200R6 credits, which will work out to each10 respectively, which will be only interested in its content. And the content contained in the R6 membership service may ultimately prove worth the cost for dedicated players. But for now, it's no exaggeration to say that Ubisoft's latest big idea hasn't made a strong start.

The drop of the first R6 member content is set to roll out to June28. Siege players who subscribe between 6/11 and 18 will also receive an "Early Adaptor Bonus" of Ash epicbundle and 600R6 credits.
