Rainbow Six Mobile brings 5v5 Siege-style action to phones Feb 23

Table of Content

Ubisoft has set a firm date for its tactical shooter on phones: Rainbow Six Mobile launches worldwide on February 23 for iOS and Android. The free-to-play adaptation carries over the series’ hallmark 5v5 PvP format with three modes at launch – Bomb, Bomb Rush, and Team Deathmatch. Maps span recognizable Rainbow Six Siege locales alongside mobile-first battlegrounds. Players can pick from more than 20 Operators at release, with support for Ranked, Quick Play, and private matches. An onboarding tutorial is included, and seasonal content updates are planned post-launch.

Release timing and where it’s available now

The global rollout is scheduled for February 23. Before that date, Rainbow Six Mobile is already playable in select regions – Poland, France, Canada, and countries across Latin America – as part of an ongoing regional availability phase. The worldwide release is set to unify access across markets on both major mobile platforms.

Core modes and match options

At launch, competitive play centers on three modes, with matchmaking tailored to different skill levels and session lengths:

• Bomb
