Is There a Rainbow Six Mobile Game? (2026 Status)
Yes, there is an official Rainbow Six mobile game: Rainbow Six Mobile. Ubisoft released the free-to-play tactical shooter worldwide for iOS and Android on February 23, 2026. There is one major update to the old answer, though: as of October 16, 2026, Ubisoft says the game's online services will end on January 15, 2027. So it is a real, playable mobile game today, but its service has a published end date.
Here is what the game is, where to find the official app, what devices it supports, and what Ubisoft has confirmed about the shutdown.
What is Rainbow Six Mobile?
Rainbow Six Mobile is a standalone, online multiplayer first-person shooter made for phones and tablets. It is not the PC or console version of Rainbow Six Siege squeezed onto a smaller screen, and it is not a cloud-streamed copy of Siege. It adapts the series' attacker-versus-defender format for mobile play, with shorter rounds, touch controls, and a separate app and service.
Matches center on two teams taking different roles. Attackers use information, gadgets, and breaches to reach an objective; defenders reinforce positions, set traps, and watch angles with cameras. Operators bring different abilities and equipment, while destructible walls and floors can open new routes or sightlines. That combination of planning, map knowledge, and quick fights is the main link to Siege.
Ubisoft's global launch announcement described modes including Bomb, Bomb Rush, and Team Deathmatch, alongside Quick Play, Ranked, and Private matches. The game continues to receive seasonal content; its specific maps, modes, Operators, and events can change between updates. The official Rainbow Six Mobile page and current store listings are the best places to check what is live now.
Where can you download it?
Get the app through the official Apple App Store listing or Google Play listing. Rainbow Six Mobile is free to download and play, with optional in-app purchases shown by the stores. It requires an internet connection over Wi-Fi or cellular data, so it is not an offline game.
Availability can depend on your country, device, and store account. Google Play currently says the game's age rating is 18+ in most territories and warns that local rules or platform policies may prevent some under-18 players from accessing, downloading, or updating it. If the listing does not appear for you, check your region's official store page and age settings rather than downloading an APK from an unofficial site.
Device requirements and PC play
Ubisoft's support page lists these minimum device baselines:
| Platform | Minimum baseline listed by Ubisoft |
|---|---|
| Android | Android 9 or later and 4 GB RAM |
| iPhone or iPad | An Apple A12 processor; examples include iPhone XS/XR and newer supported models, plus selected iPads |
These are minimums, not a promise that every device will run the game equally well; the store listing and Ubisoft support page should be checked for your specific model. The game's listings describe customizable touch controls and controller compatibility. Ubisoft also says it does not support playing through an Android emulator, so there is no official PC version of Rainbow Six Mobile.
Rainbow Six Mobile's 2026 status: online until January 15, 2027
The original article's “no global launch date” claim is out of date. Ubisoft made the game available worldwide on February 23, 2026. Its latest service notice says it has decided to shut the game down and that Rainbow Six Mobile will remain playable until its online services end on January 15, 2027. Ubisoft also says the next seasons are still planned.
That means the answer to “Is there a Rainbow Six Mobile game?” is yes, but the practical answer depends on what you want from it: it is available now for a short remaining period, and it is not a long-term mobile service to start expecting ongoing play beyond the announced date. Ubisoft's notice gives January 15, 2027, but does not specify a cutoff hour or time zone.
Ubisoft says it will share more transition details through the game's official channels. Its shutdown notice does not promise that Mobile currency, cosmetics, or purchases will transfer to Rainbow Six Siege, so treat the two games as separate products and review Ubisoft's latest guidance before making an optional purchase.
Frequently asked questions

No. Rainbow Six Mobile is a separate mobile title. It shares Siege's tactical attack-and-defend ideas, Operators, gadgets, and destruction, but it has its own app, matches, content schedule, and online service.
When did Rainbow Six Mobile come out?
Ubisoft's global release date was February 23, 2026, for iOS and Android.
When will Rainbow Six Mobile shut down?
Ubisoft says its online services will end on January 15, 2027. The notice does not give a specific time of day or time zone.
Can I play Rainbow Six Mobile on a computer?
There is no official PC edition, and Ubisoft says it does not support emulators. The official game is designed for compatible iOS and Android devices.
Is Rainbow Six Mobile free?
Yes. It is free to download and play, with optional in-app purchases listed by the mobile stores. Because Ubisoft has announced an end-of-service date, check the current official notice for transition details before spending money in the game.
