This was not to be expected: The successful Rainbow Six: Siege, which has been available for years, has now received a new age classification in Germany, which gives new layers of players access to the tactical shooter.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege has been available for five years and has been extremely popular ever since. The tactical shooter is so successful that Ubisoft is still regularly donating new content to it today and has even lifted the game to the new PS5 and Xbox Series X / S platforms in an optimized form. The game is now even available to another layer of players.
Background: Somewhat surprisingly, Rainbow Six: Siege has been given a new age rating by the German entertainment software self-regulation (USK). Ubisoft had submitted the title again for age verification and was, to a certain extent, positively surprised. Instead of the previous USK-18 classification, which only allowed sale to adult players, the game is now approved for ages 16 and over in accordance with Section 14 JuSchG, so it can also be legally and officially acquired by young people.
Karsten Jahn, Stales & Marketing Director, comments: “We are pleased that the USK has noticed the ongoing development of Rainbow Six: Siege over the past five years. In interaction with the rapidly growing community, the focus of the game has become more and more Intensive multiplayer competitions aimed at great tactical depth and strategic demands, which enabled the title to be re-examined and approved for those aged 16 and over. “
The game is especially popular in the field of esports and has already attracted more than 60 million players worldwide.
The trailer gives you an overview of the new content in the fresh update “Operation Neon Dawn” for the tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege.
