Should you decide not to buy the pass you can still purchase the new operators with in-game Renown currency, but pass holders get them a week earlier and without the need to spend in-game currency on them. The Year 3 Pass is completely optional – you don’t need to buy it to keep playing Siege – but it does provide quick, priority access to all the DLC coming as part of 2018’s four new Operations. Here is a full breakdown of Rainbow Six Siege Year 3, from everything included in the Year 3 Pass to the upcoming maps and operators.
However, the season structure is a little different this year with the addition of map reworks, mixed CTU operations, and the zombie-infested Outbreak co-op event. Ubisoft are adopting a very similar formula for the Rainbow Six Siege Year 3 Pass to the one available for both Year 1 and Year 2. Naturally, that means another year of tactical multiplayer goodness, eight new operators, new maps, and a few surprises for good measure. Rainbow Six Siege Year 3 was never in doubt after the remarkable success of the second year of content, which saw the PC player base soar from 20,000 concurrent players at the start of 2016, to 100,000 by December – that’s just the players who bought the game on Steam.
