Ubisoft is gearing up for the global launch of its much-anticipated tactical shooter, Rainbow Six Mobile. Set to release on February 23rd, 2026, the game will be available as a free-to-play title on iOS and Android devices. This announcement has been eagerly awaited by fans since the game’s initial unveiling in 2022. A newly released trailer highlights the excitement surrounding this upcoming launch.
Registration and Rewards
To mark this significant announcement, Ubisoft has introduced a pre-registration campaign. Fans are encouraged to pre-register, with the promise of in-game rewards for reaching community milestones. These rewards range from gun charms for 12 million pre-registrations to a main weapon skin at 20 million. Players can sign up on the Rainbow Six Mobile website for updates or early access, and current players can engage others through the referral program to earn even more in-game perks.
Rainbow Six Mobile is swiftly approaching its final development stages, having completed several closed alphas, betas, and soft launches over three years. While full access is still pending until next year, players in Poland, France, Canada, and Latin America can already enjoy the game.
Everything to Know about Rainbow Six Mobile
Rainbow Six Mobile mirrors its popular counterpart, Rainbow Six Siege, delivering intense 5v5 battles between attackers and defenders. The mobile version maintains key features such as destructible environments and strategic gameplay. At launch, players can choose from 24 operators, including Ash, Dokkaebi, Bandit, and Smoke, with more expected post-release.
The game currently offers six maps, including Bank, Border, and Clubhouse, with plans to expand this roster through future updates.
Does Rainbow Six Mobile Have Esports Potential?
With the success of Rainbow Six Siege in the esports realm, the potential for Rainbow Six Mobile to follow suit is a topic of interest. While it remains to be seen if the mobile version will match the esports fervor of its predecessor, smaller tournaments like the Nexo Cup and Fusion Winter Cup have already set the stage for competitive play.
Given the popularity of existing mobile esports titles, Rainbow Six Mobile could carve out its own space in the competitive scene, provided it garners enough traction post-launch. Ubisoft might look to successful models like Krafton’s PUBG ecosystem for inspiration in developing a dual-circuit competitive structure. The future of Rainbow Six Mobile esports hinges on its reception when it officially releases next year.
