Ubisoft’s long-awaited Rainbow Six Mobile is now officially available on Android and iOS globally. The mobile adaptation of the popular tactical shooter franchise is free to download and brings the core 5v5 competitive gameplay that fans know from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege to phones and tablets.

The game was first announced in 2022 and spent several years in testing across select regions, including soft launches in parts of Asia and Latin America. After a phased rollout and multiple delays, Ubisoft confirmed a full global launch late last year. The game is now live with more than 24 operators, five classic maps inspired by Siege, two mobile-exclusive maps, and multiple modes, including Bomb, Bomb Rush, and Team Deathmatch.

As in Siege, matches are built around tactical planning, destructible environments, and tight coordination between Attackers and Defenders. Players can reinforce walls, deploy surveillance tools, breach surfaces, and use unique operator gadgets to outplay opponents. Ubisoft says the maps have been optimized for shorter play sessions while maintaining the series’ focus on strategy over run-and-gun action.

Optimized for shorter matches on mobile

Built from the ground up for mobile devices, Rainbow Six Mobile is not a direct port of its PC and console counterpart. The interface, movement system, and shooting mechanics have been redesigned for touch controls, with customizable HUD options to suit different play styles. The game also supports ranked play, seasonal content updates, and limited-time events to keep players coming back.

Rainbow Six Mobile is free to play, with optional in-app purchases for cosmetic items, battle passes, and other progression-based rewards. With its global rollout now complete, Ubisoft is positioning the title as a long-term addition to its growing lineup of live service mobile games.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
