With the launch of Rainbow Six Siege X, the game will essentially go free-to-play, with access to Dual Front, Unranked and Quick Play modes and the ability to "earn up to 26 operators through progression", Ubisoft says. The game's Ranked Mode and Siege Cup, as well as access to more operators, will then be part of the game's premium editions.

To participate in the Siege X closed beta, you just need to watch any Twitch stream with drops. Watch a stream for at least 30 minutes to have a chance of getting the drop. You also have to link your Ubisoft account to your Twitch account. Here’s how to link your Ubisoft account to your Twitch: Click on Get Started.
