UbiBlog announces the limited-time release of a new
Rainbow Six Siege
Starter Edition, offering a way to get started with the tactical shooter
sequel for a mere $15.00 USD. This actually includes all the content of the
full-priced version, and here is how this all works:
If you’re a PC gamer
who’s been eyeing Rainbow Six Siege from afar, now’s your chance to jump into
the action at a reduced price. The Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition – available
via Steam and Uplay from now through June 19 – lowers the barrier to entry for
new players to just $15. For that price, you get all of the content available in
the standard edition, but progression works a little differently.
Aimed at newcomers, the Starter Edition begins by randomly unlocking two of the
original 20 Operators from a pool of six – Rook, Ash, Sledge, Fuze, Smoke, and
Mute – who were chosen for being the most intuitive to use while learning the
game. You’ll then get 600 R6 Credits to spend on two original Operators (or one
seasonal Operator), or other in-game content. Choose wisely, however, because
after that, earning more Operators through gameplay costs 12,500 Renown
(compared to 500-2,000 Renown in the standard edition).
Otherwise, the experience offered by the Starter Edition is identical to the
standard version. You’ll have access to all of the same maps, modes, and
challenges as other players, with no level caps or other restrictions. You’ll
also retain that access after the sale period is over, letting you play as much
as you want for as long as you want.
The Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition is available only on PC through June 19,
while the standard edition is also available on Xbox One and PS4.
