Rainbow Six Extraction will be on Xbox Game Pass on day one

Ubisoft announced that the next entry in the Rainbow Six series Rainbow Six Extraction will be available in Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service for both PC and Xbox platforms. The game comes out this January 20, 2022. 

“By making Rainbow Six Extraction available to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass members on the day and date of its launch via Xbox Game Pass, we’re demonstrating that we believe in the value and choice that game subscriptions offer to players,” says Chris Early, Ubisoft’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development in their official blog post

Chris then went on to say that Ubisoft+ – their own subscription service where players get access to Ubisoft's library of games – will be offered to Xbox owners in the future through Xbox’s Game Pass. For now, Ubisoft+ is only available for PC players. 

For those unaware, Rainbow Six Extraction is a 3-player co-op tactical shooter where team Rainbow is faced with parasite-like aliens called the Archaeans that are slowly taking over various parts of the world. The roster of characters available are pulled straight out of their competitive shooter Rainbow Six Siege as their gadgets are tweaked this time around to cater to a more pve focused game. 

Rainbow Six Extraction will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC.
