How to add friends in Rainbow Six Siege X?

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.

It’s the bridge between your game and your social squad.

Step 2: Access the Social Menu

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.

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.

From there, you can jump into Core Siege, Dual Front, or any of the new Operation Daybreak playlists.
