Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition Lowers Barrier to Entry for a Limited Time

If you’re a PC gamer who’s been eyeing Rainbow Six Siege from afar, now’s your chance to jump into the action at a reduced price. The Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition – available via Steam and Uplay from now through June 19 – lowers the barrier to entry for new players to just $15. For that price, you get all of the content available in the standard edition, but progression works a little differently.

Aimed at newcomers, the Starter Edition begins by randomly unlocking two of the original 20 Operators from a pool of six – Rook, Ash, Sledge, Fuze, Smoke, and Mute – who were chosen for being the most intuitive to use while learning the game. You’ll then get 600 R6 Credits to spend on two original Operators (or one seasonal Operator), or other in-game content. Choose wisely, however, because after that, earning more Operators through gameplay costs 12,500 Renown (compared to 500-2,000 Renown in the standard edition).

Otherwise, the experience offered by the Starter Edition is identical to the standard version. You’ll have access to all of the same maps, modes, and challenges as other players, with no level caps or other restrictions. You’ll also retain that access after the sale period is over, letting you play as much as you want for as long as you want.

The Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition is available only on PC through June 19, while the standard edition is also available on Xbox One and PS4. For more on Rainbow Six Siege, check out our previous coverage:
