Over two weeks of intense action in Germany, the best 16 teams from across the globe battled it out at the final Major of the year
AUSTRALIA – 17 NOVEMBER 2025 – M80 fought through two weeks of intense competition to be crowned BLAST R6 Munich Major 2025 champions in dramatic fashion to take home USD $250,000 after overcoming the favourites Team Falcons, in the Best-of-5 Grand Final.
M80 claimed victory over Team Falcons 3-1 in an electric Grand Final as Rainbow Six Esports returned to Germany for the second time, thrilling thousands of passionate fans. The rivalry between these rosters runs deep, their previous showdown at the 2024 Manchester Major also ended with the M80 roster lifting the trophy. Despite facing a fiercely pro-European crowd, the North American squad showed undeniable grit and skill, delivering standout moments, and ultimately securing the championship.
“It’s not about me, this team is so hard working, they believe in everything I told them. The way we work is not because of me, it’s because of all them embracing it and building the team culture we have. Without them, I would be nothing. They kept level headed, it was so close. One thing is for certain, we’re not done, we’re going to take every trophy we can” said Fabian “Fabian” Hällsten, Coach at M80.
Over the past two weeks, the top 16 Rainbow Six Siege teams battled it out, delivering a thrilling mix of breakout performances and major upsets, with rising teams stepping up and established giants falling.

19 different nations were represented at the Munich Major, with the Grand Final being a showdown between North America and Europe.
The team didn’t only get their hands on the intricately made operator themed trophy, M80 also claimed the top prize of $250,000 ending their year in emphatic style.

Thatcher’s new E.G.S. Disruptor gadget sees and deactivates electronic devices through surfaces; new DMR for 4 Attackers; plus, Fortress map rework and Skyscraper and Theme Park modernisation.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 17 November 2025 – Attacking Operator Thatcher gets a new device-zapping gadget remaster in Operation Tenfold Pursuit, coming on 2 December to Rainbow Six Siege. He’s also getting a powerful new weapon – the PMR90A2 designated marksman rifle – and he’s not the only one. The new season will also introduce a reworked and modernised version of the Fortress map, along with modernised versions of Skyscraper and Theme Park. A deluxe dose of Operator balancing updates is on the way as well, as is a new playlist called Testing Grounds where players can try out experimental features during specific time windows. Additions to Training Grounds, improvements to Ranked matchmaking, and an increased cadence for Player Protection updates are all coming in Operation Tenfold Pursuit.
All About the Thatcher Operator Remaster
The remaster for Thatcher replaces his EMP grenade with a new gadget: The E.G.S. Disruptor. The E.G.S. Disruptor is a large two-handed electromagnetic pulse launcher with a prominent scanner viewscreen. The scanner element can detect electronic devices through walls, marking them as blue circles if they are unknown gadgets, or with a specific icon if Thatcher or his allies have already scouted them. The circular scanner viewscreen has a smaller concentric circle, and any devices in that targeting area will be affected by the E.G.S. Disruptor’s EMP charge.
The launcher element of the gadget can fire a charge through any surface and will disable any electronic devices it hits. Disabled devices are also identified, allowing Thatcher to not only see which devices he affected, but also how long the effect will last. Whether you’re taking out Bandit or Kaid’s electrified effects to enable your teammates to breach a wall, or clearing Aruni’s Surya Gates or Denari’s laser emitters to clear a safe passage, Thatcher’s new E.G.S. Disrupter enables him to be a more versatile, precise, and reactive support for the Attackers.
The New PMR90A2 Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)
Thatcher’s remaster also includes an addition to his arsenal: the PMR90A2 DMR. This brings his total primary weapon options up to four, expanding the ways he can make an impact on the round. Like other DMRs, the PMR90A2 excels at mid-to-long-range engagement and hits hard, downing a Defender in 2-3 shots. It also has high penetration, allowing Thatcher to punch holes for line of sight and reshape the battlefield.
Which Operators can use the new PMR90A2 DMR?
Thatcher isn’t the only Operator getting the new DMR; Hibana, Capitão, and Nøkk will also have the PMR90A2 DMR added to their loadouts. The new weapon will be accessible for Premium Battle Pass owners for the first two weeks of the Operation Tenfold Pursuit, after which it will become available to all players.
Map Rework and Modernisations in Operation Tenfold Pursuit
The Fortress map is receiving the full rework and modernisation treatment for the new season. The map is now more balanced and clearly navigable for players, and adds all the modernisation improvements including improved lighting and textures, plus the addition of destructible elements. The Fortress map will be added to the Ranked map pool and play host to competitive matches at season launch. The Theme Park map and Skyscraper map will also be modernised in Operation Tenfold Pursuit.
List of Major Operator Balancing Updates
Attacking hard breachers are all being rebalanced as part of Operation Tenfold Pursuit.
Hibana: Her X-Kairos launcher will now deploy explosive pellets faster with no reload needed between shots, and the detonation timer will be shorter. She’ll also have the option to equip claymores as her secondary gadget. The Type-89 assault rifle’s recoil will be reduced, and she will receive the PMR90A2 DMR as noted above.
Thermite: Gains one additional Exothermic Charge, as well as a secondary shotgun option.
Maverick: His Breaching Torch will no longer pause between cycles, enabling him to breach faster. He will gain the option to bring frag grenades, as well as a new addition to his loadout: The Reaper MK2 machine pistol.
Ace: His attributes will be adjusted to 1-speed and 3-armor, and he’ll be able to equip stun grenades.
On the Defenders’ side, Castle is receiving a small but impactful update, while a significant change is coming to the way electronic signals are disrupted.
Castle: His Barricades can now be electrified by Bandit’s batteries or Kaid’s Electroclaws, making them more resistant to Attacker breaches.
Mute: Mute’s jammers now function a bit differently. Rather than simply disabling any electronic gadgets in their area of effect (AOE), they will now block any electronic devices that sends or receives signals. For example, an Exothermic Charge in range of the jammer cannot receive the signal from Thermite’s trigger, and will be blocked. Similarly, if Thermite is in the jamming radius of Mute’s device, his breach trigger will be blocked (previously this was not the case). Finally, the radius of Mute’s jammers AOE will increase.
Aruni: Her Surya Gates will no longer reactivate automatically after being hit with an EMP. Aruni or her allies will need to shoot the gate projector to reactivate it, just as if an Attacker had thrown something into the gate.
Rainbow Six Siege’s 10th Anniversary Celebration
The month of December marks the tenth anniversary of Rainbow Six Siege. To celebrate 10 years, the Wildcards event will bring a special limited-time game mode set on the House map full of easter eggs and callbacks to Siege history. Be sure to log in throughout the month for free rewards to join the celebration.
What is the new Testing Grounds mode in Rainbow Six Siege?
Testing Grounds is a new playlist that will allow players to test experimental features and offer feedback to the development team. It will run for limited periods during the season. The Operation Tenfold Pursuit Testing Grounds is scheduled for January and will test a new way of handling Operator armor and speed, allowing players to choose their armor level (lighter armor = faster speed, heavier armor = slower speed). Testing Grounds will be available to both PC and console players.
Updates to Ranked Matchmaking, Player Protection, and more
Operation Tenfold Pursuit is also delivering updates to a variety of other modes and elements of Rainbow Six Siege.
Training Playlists: Target Drill can now be populated with Keres Legion bots, which will move, attack, and potentially kill you, encouraging you to hone your skills even sharper. Furthermore, AI Allies will now be available in the Enlisted and Field Training modes, allowing players to practice in a full 5v5 setting. Furthermore, a mini-map feature and guidance tools have been added.
Player Protection: The frequency of R6 ShieldGuard updates will be doubled to two updates per week. Along with improvements to data-driven bans, the devs are developing a new system to detect recoil cheats.
Ranked Matchmaking: In addition to using a hidden MMR stat to determine match-ups, a second parameter – the player’s visible season rank – will now be added to further aid in matching players against competitors of comparable skill.
Esports Tab addition: There is now a Prediction feature on the Esports tab, allowing players to share who their pick is to win a given match. Correct predictions can earn players rewards, including Alpha Packs and skins.
Rainbow Six Siege is available in Free Access on Ubisoft+, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store.
Taking on the role as a new lighthouse keeper when a strange aurora envelops the world, horrific and misshapen things begin to arrive from the sea and our radio might just be the only defense we have in Solarsuit Games’ Static Dread: The Lighthouse.
Static Dread: The Lighthouse – Gameplay
Static Dread: The Lighthouse places you in the role of an isolated lighthouse keeper in a post-collapse world where navigation has failed and the sea hides more than it reveals. Each night you maintain the lighthouse, manage fragile machinery, guide passing ships, and respond to increasingly unsettling radio traffic. As the darkness closes in, strange phenomena blur the line between sanity and the unknown, pushing you to uncover what truly lurks beyond the waves.
With each passing shift, the world around you grows more distorted. Missing crews, strange townsfolk, and whispers carried by the tide force you to question your duties — and your reality. Your choices shape the survival of the harbor and your own fate as the encroaching dread deepens.
Static Dread: The Lighthouse Developer: Solarsuit Games Publisher: Polden Publishing Platform: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC Release Date: 7th of August Price: $12.99 USD
Recommended – “Static Dread: The Lighthouse crafts a chilling lovecraftian narrative, though its gameplay struggles keep it from fully illuminating its potential.”

Sassy Mary Sugaki knocks on your door, eager to share her latest discovery with you: a platformer called “Zako no Ahiru” as challenging as it is cute. Wanna play? Great! (She wasn’t going to give you much of a choice…)Simply charge up to splash an adorable rubber ducky in all directions, and carefully scale a mountain covered in colorful obstacles. Just know that Mary WILL revel in every failure with sharp-tongued insults and banter, and she can’t wait.
Blast water out of the ducky’s beak to propel across lovely low-poly landscapes. Bounce onto trampolines for extra height while navigating chaotic plateaus covered in palm trees, extraterrestrial comets, and enormous slices of fruit.
One wrong jump, and Mary will never let you live it down — prepare for a verbal onslaught of Mary’s 1,000+ fully-voiced put-downs, monologues and occasional encouragement to keep going as the toy duck teeters back to the beginning of the stage.
Yes, there’s a little tension from anticipated insults, but pressure makes diamonds, right? Don’t let Mary’s malicious words prevent you from mastering the bouncy nature of rubber ducky physics. Squeak a path towards seven distinct, dreamlike endings that feature more than 140 voiced lines, and try to ignore incoming insolent remarks along the way.
