The Rainbow Six Siege battle pass costs 1,200 R6 Credits: $9.99 in the US or £7.99 in the UK as one pack.

Is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege dead?
No. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege peaked at 120,267 players at once on Steam in September 2026, with 64,717 playing at any moment on average. That is steady with the three months before. These are Steam players only; people playing on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One or other PC stores aren't counted, so the real number is higher.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege questions
How many R6 Credits is the battle pass?
1,200 R6 Credits. That's the Premium Battle Pass price for this season, Operation Split Fire (1 September to about 1 December 2026), on Ubisoft's battle pass page. It's the same on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
How much is the R6 battle pass in dollars and pounds?
$9.99 in the US and £7.99 in the UK, the price of one 1,200 R6 Credits pack on the PlayStation Store (US and UK stores, checked 11 November 2026). In the UK two 600 packs come to £7.98, a penny less; in the US two 600 packs are $9.98.
How many R6 Credits do you get back from the battle pass?
600. Ubisoft's battle pass page lists an extra 600 R6 Credits among the Premium Pass rewards, earned as you level the pass. So the pass costs 1,200 up front, and if you reach those rewards you only need to buy 600 more ($4.99 / £3.99) for next season's pass. That's why some sites quote the pass as 600 Credits; the price itself is 1,200.
What is the Rainbow Six Siege Battle Pass Bundle?
The Premium Battle Pass plus 25 battle pass levels and a seven-day Renown Booster, sold for this season only. It's $19.99 on the PlayStation Store US and £15.99 on the PlayStation Store UK (checked 11 November 2026). It's only worth it if you want the level skips: the pass alone is $9.99 / £7.99.
Does R6 Membership include the battle pass?
Yes. Ubisoft's R6 Membership subscription includes the Battle Pass Premium, plus a monthly bundle of items and 10 battle levels, and renews until you cancel. On the PlayStation Store it's $9.99 a month, $24.99 for 3 months or $79.99 for 12 months in the US, and £7.99, £19.99 or £65.99 in the UK. For the pass alone, one 1,200-credit pack ($9.99 / £7.99) covers a whole season and costs less than 3 months of Membership.
How much does Ranked cost in Rainbow Six Siege?
Siege X is free, but Ranked and Siege Cup need a paid edition. The cheapest is the Elite Edition: $19.99 on Steam US and £17.99 on Steam UK and the PlayStation Store UK. It unlocks Ranked once you reach level 50. The battle pass is a separate purchase.
Is there a Rainbow Six Siege season pass?
Not any more. Ubisoft stopped selling the Year Pass in February 2021, after Year 5. Since Year 6, each season's new operator is the first reward on the Premium Battle Pass track (1,200 R6 Credits this season), and Ubisoft said new operators would also unlock for Renown or R6 Credits two weeks after a season starts.
How much do R6 Credits cost on the PlayStation Store UK?
R6 Credits cost from £3.99 for 600 to £79.99 for 15,000. That's 67p per 100 in the smallest pack and 53p per 100 in the best-value pack (15,000). Prices checked 29 September 2026.
How much is the Premium Battle Pass in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege?
It costs 1,200 R6 Credits. The cheapest way to buy that many is 2 × the 600 pack, for £7.98.
Is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege free to play?
Yes. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is free to download and play. It makes its money from an optional paid battle pass and in-game store; the prices are listed on this page.
What age rating is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege?
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is rated PEGI 18.

What is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege's all-time Steam peak?
200,476 concurrent players on Steam, the highest Steam Charts has recorded for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege (read 28 October 2026). The peak in the last 30 days was 95,933. Players on other stores and consoles aren't counted.
Is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege dead?
No. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege peaked at 120,267 players at once on Steam in September 2026, with 64,717 playing at any moment on average. That is steady with the three months before. These are Steam players only; people playing on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One or other PC stores aren't counted, so the real number is higher.
Do these Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege player numbers include consoles?
No. The player counts on this page are Steam only (Steam Charts, read 28 October 2026). People playing on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, through Game Pass or on other PC stores aren't counted, and publishers rarely publish those figures.
Who makes Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege?
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.
Try your own numbers in the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege R6 Credits calculator.
Rainbow Six Siege is free to play, though Ranked needs a paid edition (see what Rainbow Six Siege premium costs). It sells a seasonal battle pass for R6 Credits, much as Fortnite does (see whether Fortnite is free to play), and it also has Alpha Packs, which contain random items. Ubisoft's help pages describe what Alpha Packs can contain but don't give percentages, so this page covers cost only. We'll add drop rates if Ubisoft publishes them.
How it plays
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical team shooter played in first person, five against five. Teams alternate between attack and defence from round to round, and each player picks an operator with their own gadgets.
Defenders turn the building into a stronghold: they reinforce walls, set up barricades, lay traps and use surveillance tools to track the attackers. Attackers scout enemy positions and the bomb site with drones, then work together to breach defences and get past traps, including striking from above or below or rappelling through windows. Destruction is central: walls can be broken open to create new lines of sight and routes.
Quick Match and Unranked modes are free with a selection of operators. Ranked play, Siege Cup, more operators and cosmetics have to be paid for. New players get a clearance-level path that teaches the basics, and each season brings new content.
What it costs
Battle pass price in R6 Credits, dollars and pounds
Ubisoft's own shop page prices the Premium Pass for the current season, Operation Split Fire (1 September to about 1 December 2026), at 1,200 R6 Credits. One 1,200 pack covers it: $9.99 on the PlayStation Store US, £7.99 on the PlayStation Store UK.
The Premium Pass also pays 600 R6 Credits back as you level it. Reach those rewards and next season's pass needs only 600 more Credits, $4.99 or £3.99. That's where the "600 Credits" figure some sites quote comes from; the pass itself costs 1,200. Ubisoft's page also lists a 10% discount on all in-game store items for Premium owners.
| R6 Credits pack (PlayStation Store) | US | UK |
|---|---|---|
| 600 | $4.99 | £3.99 |
| 1,200 (one battle pass) | $9.99 | £7.99 |
| 3,300 | $24.99 | £19.99 |
| 7,200 | $49.99 | £39.99 |
| 15,000 | $99.99 | £79.99 |
| Battle Pass Bundle (pass + 25 levels + 7-day Renown Booster) | $19.99 | £15.99 |
| 1,200 Welcome Pack (1,200 Credits + four operators + 7-day booster) | $9.99 | £7.99 |
Prices checked on the PlayStation Store US and UK on 11 November 2026. For 1,800 Credits, three 600 packs cost $14.97 / £11.97, a cent or a penny less than a 1,200 plus a 600. Every amount is in our R6 Credits prices table. Ubisoft resized the bigger packs when Siege X launched in June 2025: the $20 pack became 3,300 Credits, the $50 pack went from 7,560 to 7,200 and the $100 pack from 16,000 to 15,000.
Bigger packs are cheaper per credit: 600 for £3.99 is about 0.67p a credit, while 15,000 for £79.99 is about 0.53p. The largest pack only saves money if you spend the Credits over several seasons. Our guide to cheap R6 Credits compares every pack, and the R6 Credits calculator works out the cheapest set of packs for any amount.

R6 Membership: the subscription that includes the pass
Ubisoft also sells R6 Membership, a subscription that includes the Battle Pass Premium. Each month it adds an exclusive operator bundle, an Alpha Pack, a Delta Pack and 10 battle levels, plus an event pack for each live event while you're subscribed. It runs on PC, PlayStation and Xbox and renews until you cancel.
| R6 Membership | US | UK |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $9.99 | £7.99 |
| 3 months | $24.99 | £19.99 |
| 12 months | $79.99 | £65.99 |
US prices are the PlayStation Store US listings and UK prices are Ubisoft's UK shop, both checked by 11 November 2026. A season lasts about three months (Operation Split Fire runs from 1 September to about 1 December), so for the pass alone, 1,200 R6 Credits ($9.99 / £7.99 as one pack) is cheaper than three months of Membership ($24.99 / £19.99). Membership only costs less if you also want its monthly items.
Is there a season pass?
There's no season pass to buy any more. Ubisoft stopped selling the Year Pass in February 2021, after Year 5. From Year 6 on, each season's new operator is the first reward on the Premium Battle Pass track, which costs 1,200 R6 Credits this season (above). Ubisoft said at the time that new operators would also unlock for Renown or R6 Credits two weeks after each season launches, so players who skip the pass can still get them.
What Ranked costs
Siege X is free to play, but Ranked and Siege Cup need a paid edition. The cheapest is the Elite Edition, $19.99 on Steam US and £17.99 in the UK, and it unlocks Ranked once you reach level 50. The Ultimate Edition is $39.99 on Steam US. Our guide to Rainbow Six Siege premium compares the editions. The battle pass is a separate purchase on top.
Players
The 30-day peak on Steam Charts was 94,032 concurrent players on 11 November 2026, down from 120,267 in September as the season went on. The figure leaves out Ubisoft Connect and console players.
