Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile: Expected release date and more

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Mobile is the latest entry in the renowned Rainbow Six franchise, and it’s one of our most anticipated Android games. As a free-to-play first-person shooter, this mobile game is built around strategic multiplayer gameplay. Here’s everything you need to know about the Rainbow Six Mobile release date, features, and gameplay.

When is Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Mobile coming out?

The worldwide release date for both Android and iOS is still unknown, but it is expected to be early next year. After a successful closed beta phase in June and July, the game is now available for the public to try in a soft launch/open beta phase, but only in select countries. It was first released in Canada on August 28 and has since also been made available in Mexico, Chile, and Colombia.

The soft launch includes new features such as a Ranked mode, mini-seasons, and additional maps. It also allows players to start building their progress without fear of a big reset after further game enhancements. When the developers are happy with the open beta phase, the game will eventually roll out worldwide with full third-party controller support and rejoining matches if you lose connection.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Mobile features and gameplay

Rainbow Six Mobile maintains the franchise’s classic Attack vs. Defense game modes. Fast-paced 5v5 matches require strategic decisions, and players must collaborate as a team to utilize destructible environments to their advantage. The game features a roster of specialized Operators to choose from, each with their unique abilities and gadgets.

Three iconic Rainbow Six Siege maps have been adapted for mobile play: Bank, Border, and Clubhouse. Each map presents unique challenges:

• Bank – A complex, fortified bank with many small to medium-sized rooms.
• Border – An isolated outpost at the border of two countries, with old and new buildings and open, destructible areas.
• Clubhouse – A large map with multiple floors, vast rooms, destructible walls, and numerous entry points.

The latest soft launch also offers operator customizations, gameplay improvements, two new game modes, ranked modes and events, and permanent progression.

Is there a Rainbow Six Mobile beta?

Yes, a second closed beta for Rainbow Six Mobile took place in June and July 2023, lasting six weeks. Following its success, there is now an open beta phase available to select countries as outlined above, where the developers can hopefully iron out any kinks according to player feedback before the worldwide release.
