Rainbow Six Siege, the Ubisoft tactical shooter that launched in December 2015, has sustained a decade of activity through a combination of streaming culture and live-service events. Official caster Yamano Tomozo published a column arguing that the game's slow initial growth and eventual breakout were tied to the rise of YouTube and Twitch, not large-scale advertising. Ubisoft reported the game passed 100 million cumulative players as of December 2025.

In June 2026, Ubisoft announced advance ticket sales for the BLAST R6 OSAKA MAJOR, the first Rainbow Six Siege world tournament held in Japan. The event takes place November 13-15 at ATC Hall in Osaka, with a prize pool of approximately 96 million yen (600,000 USD) and points toward qualifying for the Six Invitational 2027. A lottery-based first advance sale opened June 8 for Japan residents.

On July 10, 2026, TiMi Studio Group began a collaboration between Delta Force and Rainbow Six Siege. The crossover introduces operator skins based on Vigil, Montagne, and Doc, with two available for free. Free weapon skins include the Black Ice bundle and a Legend MP5 appearance. Players can also find collection items in containers and discover hidden elements. A streamer broadcast project and a special event called THE BAIKIN SHOWDOWN are scheduled. Campaigns offer prizes including over 6 million yen via TikTok and Amazon gift cards.
