Look Sports Media – The Rainbow Six esports scene is set to explode in 2025, thanks to a groundbreaking new partnership between tournament organizer BLAST and Xbox Game Pass. This collaboration promises a year packed with online and offline activations, kicking off with the electrifying Re:L0:AD tournament in Rio de Janeiro (May 10-18). This event marks the beginning of the Rainbow Six esports season, featuring all 20 teams participating in the R6 Share program. Keep an eye on UK talent Ben "CTZN" McMillan (Dark Zero), Jack "Doki" Robertson (G2 Esports), Nathan "Nafe" Sharp (Dark Zero), and Josh "Yuzus" Pritchard (Team Falcons) as they compete on the global stage.
The partnership extends beyond Re:L0:AD. Xbox Game Pass will be a major presence at all BLAST R6 events, including the November Major and the prestigious 2026 Six Invitational. Expect dedicated gaming areas, community engagement activities, and incredible opportunities for fans to meet their favorite content creators. Ubisoft promises enhanced experiences, stating, "Fans attending BLAST R6 events can expect special on-site play areas and engaging community activities hosted by Ubisoft and Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, meet-and-greets and giveaways with popular Rainbow Six Siege creators will be featured throughout the season."
But that’s not all. Starting in June 2025, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will receive exclusive in-game rewards for Rainbow Six Siege X, with Ubisoft confirming that these benefits will evolve throughout the year, aligning with key competitive moments. This strategic alliance underscores the ambitious growth plans for Rainbow Six esports in 2025, building on the phenomenal success of February’s Six Invitational, which boasted a peak viewership of 379,376 (Esports Charts). With top-tier organizations like Team Falcons and Weibo Gaming recently joining the circuit ahead of the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia, the future of Rainbow Six esports looks brighter than ever. This isn’t just a partnership; it’s a game-changer.
