TL;DR

Ubisoft has officially launched Rainbow Six Mobile globally on Android and iOS devices as of February 23rd, 2026, ending a development journey.
The game went live carrying Operation Sand Wraith, which introduces new attack operator Deimos and his DeathMARK Tracker gadget alongside limited-time modes including Most Wanted 3v3 and the Unbridled Fire Year of the Horse event.

Rainbow Six Mobile is out. After close to four years of closed betas, regional tests, server shutdowns, re-openings, and seasonal content updates, Ubisoft has officially launched the game globally on Android and iOS. As of February 23rd, 2026, anyone with a compatible mobile device can download and play it without needing an invite, a region workaround, or a soft launch country address.

For players who have been following the game's development since the 2022 announcement, the global launch has taken long enough that some may have stopped paying attention. For the majority of the mobile gaming audience who never had access during the testing phases, this is effectively a brand new game dropping on their platform of choice.

What Rainbow Six Mobile Actually Is

For context, Rainbow Six Mobile is not a straight port of Rainbow Six Siege. It is a purpose-built mobile game designed around the tactical operator-based gameplay that has made Siege one of the most enduring competitive shooters on PC and console since its 2015 launch.

The core identity carries over. Teams of defenders and attackers face off in tight, destructible environments where pre-round preparation matters as much as in-round execution. Operators bring unique gadgets that define team compositions and strategies. Breach points, trap placement, and information warfare through cameras and drones remain central to how rounds play out.

What changes is the delivery: touch controls optimised for mobile screens, match lengths adapted for shorter mobile sessions, and a progression and monetisation structure built for a free-to-play mobile audience rather than a premium PC game with a season pass model.

Operation Sand Wraith and Launch Content

Rainbow Six Mobile launched carrying Operation Sand Wraith, a seasonal update that went live one week before global release and has continued into the live game. The headline addition from the operation is Deimos, a new attack operator whose DeathMARK Tracker gadget creates a shared tracking link between himself and a selected target, revealing each to the other.
