After years of testing, Ubisoft has finally locked in a release date for Rainbow Six Mobile, and it’s right around the corner. The mobile version of the tactical shooter game is set to launch worldwide on February 23, 2026 for iOS and Android, bringing the core Rainbow Six Siege experience to phones for the first time.
The game has been in development since 2022 and has seen its share of delays that pushed back earlier launch plans. The public tests began in 2023, and Ubisoft has now confirmed that the long wait is almost over.
What to expect at launch?
Rainbow Six Mobile is built as a free-to-play title and is designed specifically for mobile devices, rather than being a direct port of Siege. At launch, players will be able to jump into classic 5v5 PvP matches across three modes: Bomb, Bomb Rush, and Team Deathmatch.
Ubisoft says the mobile version will keep the tactical pacing and teamwork the franchise is known for, while adapting controls and match flow for touchscreens. The game will feature more than 20 Operators, including familiar faces like Ash, Mute, and Dokkaebi.
Matches will take place on maps inspired by Rainbow Six Siege, such as Bank, Border, Clubhouse, Oregon, and Villa. There will also be two mobile-exclusive maps, Restaurant and Summit, designed specifically for smaller screens and shorter play sessions.
Players can choose between Ranked matches, Quick Play, and private matches, depending on how competitive they are. For newcomers, Rainbow Six Mobile will include an onboarding tutorial that walks players through the fundamentals, helping ease the jump into Siege-style gameplay.
Ubisoft says Rainbow Six Mobile has crossed 10 million pre-registrations, unlocking the first reward, the Magnum Blue avatar and banner. The company is now encouraging players to pre-register to help reach the next milestone before launch and earn more rewards.
While the global release is set for February 23, some players already have access. Rainbow Six Mobile is currently available in Poland, France, Canada, and parts of Latin America as part of Ubisoft’s phased rollout. For everyone else, the countdown to launch has officially begun.
