The latest update for Rainbow Six Siege has arrived. Patch 3.3 was released for PS4 and PC last week and arrives for the Xbox One version of the game today, October 26, following its recent debut on Xbox Game Pass. The full patch notes for update 3.3. can be found below and primarily deal with balance issues. For console players, this also includes the contents of the 3.2 update released in early October on PC.

　　The update tweaks the game's Operators in several ways, like reducing the number of explosive ticks in Ace's Selma Aqua Breacher, decreasing Glaz's vision recovery and movement penalization, and giving the ITA12S shotgun to Frost as a secondary weapon. There are also balance adjustments in Update 3.3, including changing ballistic shields so they are affected by guard breaks and increasing the maximum range damage for both the ACS12 and TCSG12 shotguns.

　　Elsewhere, the patch addresses some gameplay issues, such as improving the chat filter feedback system and deactivating the ban ticker for custom games. Furthermore, Update 3.3 makes a number of bug fixes. Defenders should no longer spawn on top of each other when on the second floor of the master bedroom on Chalet. Lighting problems on the first floor of the bar in Chalet have been ironed out, and minor map asset issues should be fixed now.

　　In other Rainbow Six Siege news, Ubisoft released Rainbow Six Siege for Game Pass for Android and Xbox One on October 22. The tactical first-person shooter will also drop on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X as a launch title with cross-generation multiplayer support. Players can upgrade to the next-gen version for free so long as they own Rainbow Six Siege. Another Rainbow Six game, Rainbow Six Quarantine, is also on its way to all systems that Siege is available on. However, the game will be arriving later than expected. It was pushed into the next fiscal year, along with Far Cry 6. Both will arrive in April at the earliest, and quite possibly later.
