Ubisoft and Microsoft have confirmed that a massively popular shooter is being added to Xbox Game Pass this month.
And it’s hard to think of a recent Games with Gold title that can top this new addition to the Game Pass on Xbox One.
In a joint announcement made today, it was revealed that Rainbow Six Siege would be coming to Xbox Game Pass in October.
This will also make it the first time that R6 will be playable on Android devices, albeit, via Project xCloud.
While Xbox Game Pass has plenty of big titles available and Rainbow Six Siege has been around a long time, it’s also one of the most played shooters around.
There will be plenty of fans who are ready to welcome new players who are willing to take on the current veterans.
And unless Games with Gold November has something big planned, none of its free games are going to top this news.
The announcement made today revealed that Rainbow Six Siege will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on October 22.
A message from Xbox teases: “This highly competitive PVP game is going to give your map memorization skills a workout.
“With a thriving professional esports scene and a community of over 60 million registered players, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of a fast-paced, ever-evolving multiplayer experience grounded in the selection of unique operators.
“Using the right mix of tactics and destruction, Rainbow Six teams engage their enemies in sieges, where both sides have exclusive skills and gadgets at their disposal. Defenders prepare by transforming the environments around them into modern strongholds, while attackers use recon drones to gain intel for carefully planning their assault. Creativity and competition are at the heart of this game.
“With access to dozens of operators, be the hero and choose exactly how you want to approach each challenge you encounter.
“Through the constant addition of new operators and maps that add to the depth of both strategy and combat, the unpredictability of each round of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege sets a new bar for intensity and competition in gaming.”
Today’s announcement also confirms that Game Pass owners will be able to use their membership discount to get up to 10% off in-game items – including the Year 5 pass to unlock new operators, renown boosts, and more.
The current Games with Gold titles available to download include the following:
Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut

Maid of Sker
Do not panic, don’t even breathe! Set in a remote hotel with a macabre and gory history, use stealth tactics to stay alive against a cult of sound-based enemies. Inspired by chilling tales in Welsh folklore, do your best to survive and brave the nightmares of the Quiet Ones.
Costume Quest
Collect super-powered magical costumes and level up your hero in the monster-filled neighborhoods of Auburn Pines. Complete numerous quests, build up your party, and take down evil in the Halloween tale that will capture the imagination of kids and the kids-at-heart.
