Everything you need to know about Rainbow Six Siege's Velvet Shell update

Here's what you know about Rainbow Six Siege's Velvet Shell update – operators, maps, changes and more!

Rainbow Six Siege is about to receive its fifth major expansion since launch, marking the first of four content drops in 2017. Offered as a part of the game's second 'season' of content, the Velvet Shell update introduces two new operators, a new multiplayer map and a slew of new customization options. Like previous expansions, the content will also be paired alongside some highly-requested bug fixes, affecting both gameplay and the operators themselves.

Velvet Shell will roll out over the course of Tuesday, February 7, with each platform seeing at least an hour of scheduled server downtime to deploy the update. Xbox One servers will be offline from 10 am to 11 am Eastern Time, with PlayStation 4 and PC versions seeing downtime from 9-10 am and 11-12 am respectively.

Once the Velvet Shell update hits your platform, a mandatory game update will be required before connecting to Rainbow Six Siege's servers. While a majority of the expansion's content will be available from this point forward, you'll have to wait for the new operators if you don't own the second year season pass.
