The Premium pass will be available for 1200 R6 Credits and the Premium Bundle that unlocks the Premium pass plus the first 12 tiers can be purchased for 2400 R6 Credits, though each tier can be unlocked by either playing the game or for 180 R6 Credits.
30% of revenue will go to the Six Invitational prize pool up to $3,000,000 USD. Any surplus will be redistributed across other official Rainbow Six esports programs.

About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Alongside a thriving professional esports scene and a community of over 50 million registered players, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of a fast-paced, ever-evolving multiplayer experience grounded in the selection of unique Operators.

Defenders prepare by transforming the environments around them into modern strongholds, while attackers use recon drones to gain intel for carefully planning their assault. With access to dozens of Operators inspired by real world counter-intelligence agents from around the globe, players can choose exactly how they want to approach each challenge they encounter. Through the constant addition of new Operators and maps that add to the depth of both strategy and combat, the unpredictability of each round of Rainbow Six Siege sets a new bar for intensity and competition in gaming.
