Rainbow Six Siege X minimum PC requirements officially announced

Players will have to update existing graphic drivers if they wish to run Siege X on the same hardware/system that they used to run the original Rainbow Six Siege game.

Core Siege consists of competitive modes as well as modernized map designs. You may constantly be in a rush to perform your best and need the necessary FPS and power to do so. On the other hand, the new format, Dual Fronts, hosts more players and has significantly larger maps.

This not only makes Siege X more taxing for your GPU but also implies that the game times will also be longer, requiring more power as you play for hours. These additions and other improvements in Rainbow Six Siege X have made it certain that PC players may just need to ramp up their system for this new title to run comfortably.
