Rainbow Six: Siege’s Year 4 pass is out now

Ubisoft has turned its competitive shooter Rainbow Six: Siege into a reliable moneymaker. And in 2019, it plans to continue growing the online game. To that end, the publisher has begun selling the Year 4 pass for Siege. This $30 content pass guarantees access to the eight new characters Ubisoft will launch in 2018 (they aren’t out yet). It also provides special cosmetic items, in-game currency, and more.

These annual passes are one of the primary ways that Ubisoft continues to earn significant revenue from Rainbow Six: Siege. While players can slowly earn the Renown currency to unlock new characters at no additional charge, the $30 pass is much more convenient for most people. On top of that, you get each new characters seven days early if you own the Year 4 pass.
