All post-launch Rainbow Six: Siege maps will be free to download

Gamers are getting used to the idea of paying for downloadable content — just look at the obligatory map packs for the annual Call of Duty and Battlefield releases. But Ubisoft is taking an unusual stance with the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege.

All maps for the multiplayer tactical shooter — which releases December 1 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC — will be free to all players, even those maps that appear post-launch. In a statement sent to Eurogamer, Ubisoft said, “At launch, Rainbow Six: Siege will have 11 maps, playable both day or night, all using the full potential of our Real Blast destruction technology. In addition, all post-launch maps will be downloadable for free.”
