Rainbow Six Mobile launches worldwide on Feb 23, 2026
Ubisoft has announced that Rainbow Six Mobile will receive a global release on February 23, 2026, after extended soft launches in Poland, France, Canada and parts of Latin America. The mobile port brings the studio’s tactical, operator‑based shooter to iOS and Android devices worldwide.
Rainbow Six Mobile adapts the franchise’s core 5v5 attacker vs. defender gameplay for touchscreens, with operators, gadgets and map control at the center of matches. The soft launch period gave Ubisoft time to balance controls, performance and progression systems ahead of the full launch.
What to expect
- Platforms: iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android — available from the App Store and Google Play after release.
- Gameplay: Shorter, mobile‑friendly rounds but retaining tactical elements like operator abilities, destructible environments and team coordination.
- Progression & economy: Expect unlockable operators, cosmetics and likely a free‑to‑play progression model with optional in‑app purchases — typical of large mobile shooters.
Why this matters
The global launch marks a major step for Ubisoft’s strategy to move premium console/PC franchises to mobile platforms. A successful port could broaden the Rainbow Six audience and push other tactical shooters to invest in mobile experiences. For players, the key questions will be how well controls, matchmaking and monetization are handled.
Tips for players
- Check device compatibility and free storage space before downloading — tactical shooters can require significant resources for maps and updates.
- Try different control schemes and sensitivity settings; many mobile shooters offer customizable layouts that improve aiming and movement.
- Expect regular updates at launch: balance patches, seasonal content and events are common in live‑service mobile games.
