Rainbow Six Siege's 'Operation Black Ice' free update adds a new map and more
Tactical multiplayer shooter Rainbow Six Siege just picked up a wealth of new content, all for free.
Operation Black Ice adds an entirely new map, two new operators and much more to the game, as part of Ubisoft's ongoing commitment to providing free updates.
Rainbow Six Siege also has a season pass, but unlike other certain other first-person shooters, Ubisoft keeps maps as free DLC to prevent splitting the community based on those who purchased content and those who didn't. Free maps and other content are supported by micro-payments, which allow you to unlock content such as guns and operators more rapidly. Thankfully, all content can be unlocked just by playing as well.
In our review, Matt Brown praised Rainbow Six Siege's tense atmosphere and polished gunplay, and some of his concerns about server issues have since been repaired in updates.
Rainbow Six Siege is available now for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
