After years of testing, Ubisoft has finally set a release date for Rainbow Six Mobile, and it’s almost here. The mobile version of the tactical shooter game is scheduled to launch worldwide on iOS and Android on February 23, 2026, bringing the core Rainbow Six Siege experience to mobile phones for the first time.
The game has been in development since 2022 and has experienced some delays that have set back previous release plans. Public testing began in 2023 and Ubisoft has now confirmed that the long wait is almost over.
What can you expect when you start?
Rainbow Six Mobile is designed to be a free-to-play title and designed specifically for mobile devices, rather than being a direct port of Siege. At launch, players will be able to participate in classic 5v5 PvP matches in three modes: Bomb, Bomb Rush and Team Deathmatch.
Ubisoft says the mobile version will maintain the tactical pace and teamwork the franchise is known for, while adapting the controls and gameplay for touchscreens. The game will feature more than 20 operators, including familiar faces like Ash, Mute and Dokkaebi.
Matches take place on maps inspired by Rainbow Six Siege, such as Bank, Border, Clubhouse, Oregon and Villa. There will also be two exclusive mobile maps, Restaurant and Summit, designed specifically for smaller screens and shorter gaming sessions.
Players can choose between Ranked Matches, Quick Matches and Private Matches depending on how competitive they are. For newcomers, Rainbow Six Mobile will include an onboarding tutorial that will walk players through the basics and ease them into Siege-style gameplay.
According to Ubisoft, Rainbow Six Mobile has surpassed 10 million pre-registrations and unlocked its first reward, the Magnum Blue avatar and banner. The company is now encouraging players to pre-register to reach the next milestone and earn more rewards before launch.
While the global release is scheduled for February 23rd, some players already have access. Rainbow Six Mobile is currently available in Poland, France, Canada and parts of Latin America as part of Ubisoft’s phased rollout. For everyone else, the countdown to launch has officially begun.
