@R6Extraction took to Twitter in the early hours of the morning to announce a major win; Rainbow Six Extraction has surpassed 3 million players worldwide in its first week on the market. This comes only a few days after Rainbow Six Extraction was released on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service making the game more readily available to a greater number of players. Ubisoft plans to celebrate this win with a special Buddy Pass launch, letting players invite up to two friends to play with them for free. 

Players across all platforms, including those who play the game via Xbox Game Pass, will receive two tokens to give to their friends so that they can try the game out. The tokens will function as a free trial and are valid for two weeks. Cross-play integration also means that players can squad up with their friends, no matter what platform they prefer. Should these trial players choose to purchase the game, any progress they made during the trial period will be transferred to their new gaming profiles. 

More exciting Rainbow Six Extraction news comes in the form of planned free post-release content. If you needed more incentive to keep playing R6E and leveling up your Operators, here it is. Rumour has it you’ll be needing all the REACT tech you can get your hands on for the upcoming free content in this jaw-dropping loot ‘n shoot. So keep making the Archaeans lives’ a living misery and gaining PvE and tactical co-op experience; you’ll thank us later. 

Rainbow Six Extraction is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna, and Ubisoft+. You can also play it with Xbox Game Pass and Windows 10/11 PCs with PC Game Pass.

I hail from the awe-inspiring beauty of South Africa. Born and raised in Pretoria, I've always had a deep interest in local history, particularly conflicts, architecture, and our country's rich past of being a plaything for European aristocracy. 'Tis an attempt at humor. My interest in history has since translated into hours at a time researching everything from the many reasons the Titanic sank (really, it's a wonder she ever left Belfast) to why Minecraft is such a feat of human technological accomplishment. I am an avid video gamer (Sims 4 definitely counts as video gaming, I checked) and particularly enjoy playing the part of a relatively benign overlord in Minecraft. I enjoy the diverse experiences gaming offers the player. Within the space of a few hours, a player can go from having a career as an interior decorator in Sims, to training as an archer under Niruin in Skyrim. I believe video games have so much more to teach humanity about community, kindness, and loyalty, and I enjoy the opportunity to bring concepts of the like into literary pieces.
