Rainbow Six Mobile launches worldwide as free-to-play 5v5 tactical shooter

Players hunting a portable Rainbow Six experience can now jump into Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile, which launched worldwide on February 23, 2026. The free-to-play title is available on Android and iOS and ports the franchise's signature 5v5 tactical shooter gameplay to phones and tablets for the first time.

Ubisoft Montreal led the release, drawing directly on the studio's experience as the developer behind Rainbow Six Siege. Support came from Codev Studios plus multiple internal Ubisoft teams, a collaboration that aimed to preserve the tactical depth of the franchise while adapting controls and match flow for touchscreens and mobile networks.

The mobile build centers on five-versus-five rounds, mirroring the competitive structure long associated with Siege. Ubisoft Montreal framed the launch as a global rollout, making the same core 5v5 concept accessible to players outside traditional console and PC audiences on February 23, 2026. The company positioned the title as free-to-play to lower the barrier for entry for mobile players already invested in multiplayer shooters.

Technical details released with the launch emphasized Android and iOS availability. Players can find Rainbow Six Mobile on both major app stores, where the download lists the title under Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile and notes its free-to-play model. The studio's decision to build the mobile version in-house with Codev Studios and other teams reflects a broader strategy by Ubisoft Montreal to extend Rainbow Six’s tactical gameplay into new platforms while keeping core mechanics intact.

For fans of Rainbow Six Siege, the launch is a clear milestone: Ubisoft Montreal brought the franchise’s 5v5 tactical format to a global mobile audience on February 23, 2026. The release marks a deliberate shift to reach players who prefer on-the-go competitive matches on Android and iOS, delivered by the same studio responsible for the franchise’s most recent console and PC iterations.

Looking ahead, the arrival of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile completes a long-expected step in the series’ platform expansion, with Ubisoft Montreal and supporting teams handing mobile players immediate access to five-on-five tactical play worldwide.
