Update: The Steam free weekend event is already live, and as expected, it comes with a discount: You can pick up the full game for $25. Original Story: If you haven't yet picked up Rainbow Six Siege, this weekend will present you with an opportunity to try it out for free on both PC and PS4. With its next free expansion arriving in a week, Ubisoft has announced it will make the game available for free on both platforms from November 11-13. This marks the first time PS4 owners will have the chance to try it for free; previous free events have been available on both PC and Xbox One (which is not included this time around). This is the full version of Siege that will be available. These types of promotions are typically accompanied by sales on the game in question, though Ubisoft didn't mention if that would be the case here. We've followed up with the company to find out more. If you're patient, we do know you'll be able to pick up Siege for $15 on Black Friday at places like Walmart and Target. Ubisoft continues to tout that Siege is doing well. Today's announcement claims there are more people playing now than there were at launch. Meanwhile, Ubisoft is set to fully reveal the game's Red Crow update this weekend, followed by a launch on November 17.

Ubisoft's team-based online FPS Rainbow Six Siege will, barring any surprise delays, be here in three weeks, which means this is a good time to let you know what sort of hardware you'll need to play it. The good news is that the short version is "not much," although you'll probably want more than the minimum if you want to defuse hostage situations in style. And by 'defuse', I mean 'shoot anyone who gives you side-eye"... Minimum requirement: -Supported OS - Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64bit versions required) -Processor - Intel Core i3 560 @ 3.3 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 945 @ 3.0 GHz -RAM - 6GB -Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon HD 5870 (DirectX-11 compliant with 1GB of VRAM) -DVD ROM Drive - DVD-ROM Dual Layer -Sound - DirectX® 9.0c compatible sound card with latest drivers -Hard Drive - 30GB -Multiplayer - Broadband connection with 256kbps upstream or faster -Recommended spec: -Supported OS - Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64bit versions required) -Processor - Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz or better or AMD FX-8120 @ 3.1 Ghz or better -RAM - 8GB -Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (or GTX760 / GTX960) or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (or R9 280x [2GB VRAM] / R9 380 / Fury X) -DVD ROM Drive - DVD-ROM Dual Layer -Sound - DirectX® 9.0c compatible sound card 5.1 with latest drivers -Hard Drive - 47GB -Multiplayer - Broadband connection with 512kbps upstream or faster Ubisoft was also kind enough to provide a more specific breakdown of video cards that will be supported at release: NVIDIA - GeForce GTX460 or better, GTX560 or better, GTX650 or better, GTX750 or better, or any card from the GT900 and Titan Series AMD - Radeon HD5870 or better, HD6870 or better, HD7770 or better, R7 260X or better, or any card from the R-300 series and Fury X Furthermore, "Laptop models of these cards may work but are not supported. These chipsets are the only ones that will run this game. Additional chipsets may be supported after release." Earlier this month Ubisoft revealed its plan for the first year of post-release Rainbow Six Siege support, which will include four new maps, eight new operators—they're the guys with the guns—plus new game modes and cosmetic items. Most of it will be unlockable via "Renown," earned through playing the game, and of course players lacking the time and/or inclination to sink the requisite hours into it may also purchase the extra content through real-money transactions.
