(Image via Ubisoft Montreal) Rainbow Six Siege X just dropped with its sleek new interface and gameplay upgrades. Whether you're a returning operator or fresh boots on the ground, one thing's for sure: the game is more fun with friends. But with the all-new UI revamp in Siege X , even seasoned players might find the friend system a little unfamiliar. This guide will show you exactly how to add friends in Rainbow Six Siege X in the fastest, cleanest way possible, no matter what platform you're on. Step 1: Launch the Game (All Platforms) First things first — fire up Rainbow Six Siege X on your platform of choice. This could be: PC (via Steam or Epic Games) Console (PlayStation or Xbox) Ubisoft Connect (the ecosystem that ties everything together) No matter where you launch from, Ubisoft Connect will always be active in the background. It's the bridge between your game and your social squad. Rainbow Six Siege X - Official Launch Trailer Step 2: Access the Social Menu Once you're on the main screen (you'll see your operator standing by), look near the Playlist tab for a 'Social' or 'Friends' keybind. It's usually in the top-right corner of the screen. On PC, press the key indicated (commonly Shift+F2) On Console, use the designated controller button (usually Options or Menu) This opens up the Social Menu, your one-stop hub for friend requests, parties, and invites. Step 3: Use Ubisoft Connect to Add Friends Once inside the Social Menu, you'll see an option to open Ubisoft Connect. That's where you can add new friends. Here's how: Open Ubisoft Connect overlay from the Social Menu In the search bar, type your friend's exact Ubisoft username Click on their profile and hit "Add Friend" If they've sent you a request, you'll see it under the three-dot menu Pro Tip : Ubisoft usernames are case-sensitive and symbols matter. Double-check before hitting enter. Step 4: Invite Friends to Your Party Once added, your friends will appear under the 'Friends' tab. Select their name Hit "Invite to Party" Wait for them to accept! From there, you can jump into Core Siege, Dual Front, or any of the new Operation Daybreak playlists. How to Add Players from Previous Matches in Rainbow Siege X? Played with a cool random teammate? You can add them too! Open the Scoreboard from the match summary Select the player's name Press the Ubisoft Connect button to send a request directly That's it! Ubisoft may have redesigned the interface, but the process is still smooth once you get the hang of it. Squad up, strategize, and dominate—because Siege is best played with allies who've got your six.

Unannounced Far Cry Game Headed for Development Hell
It's been quite a while since we've seen a new game from Ubisoft. The Giancarlo Esposito-led Far Cry 6 was the last entry in the long-running series, which did totally fine critically. As such, it seems like it might be time for another open-world adventure, but unfortunately for fans of the franchise, one of the two Far Cry games reportedly in development is going back to the drawing board. A new report from Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming claims a Far Cry extraction shooter codenamed Maverick has been rebooted. This particular project began as the multiplayer component for Far Cry 7 (codenamed Blackbird), which then spun-off from the main entry in early 2023. However, it seems the game wasn't quite up to the quality standards of Ubisoft leading to the project getting rebooted. The report also claims that Ubisoft Montreal will collaborate with Ubisoft Sherbrooke during its new prototyping phase. Project Maverick was said to be set in Alaska. It seems it is pretty similar to most extraction shooters and had players face off against wild animals, AI soldiers, and other players. 'That's according to several sources familiar with the projects development, who said that the 'writing was on the wall' for a number of months,' reads the report. 'It was said that the final nail in the coffin came after its dedicated tech team called Talisker (also the old name of Far Cry 7 before it morphed into two separate projects), moved from Maverick to be fully dedicated to Blackbird in late December to ensure the project stays on track.' Specifics on the reasoning behind rebooting the project are unknown. However, the report implies it could potentially be due to Ubisoft's recent struggles and the company's attempt to create a more efficient workflow among its teams. Ubisoft's next release is Assassin's Creed Shadows, which launches on March 20. It seems like it's a pretty imperative title as the company has been under pressure for the past year. Its ugly Star Wars Outlaws release, paired with multiple studio closures, seem to have been the last straw now as the Guillemot family and Tencent have mulled over a new venture which would see the Chinese tech company take control of some of Ubisoft's IP.
