Can your PC run Rainbow Six Siege? The launch spec sheet, remembered
Rainbow Six Siege bet everything on multiplayer — no campaign, barely a plot, all eggs in the tactical-basket of team-based siege play. That was the design, straight from the art director, ahead of the game’s December 1 launch on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
With the beta wrapped and three weeks to launch, Ubisoft published the PC spec sheet. Here it is, preserved for posterity:
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 (64-bit required)
- CPU: Intel Core i3 560 @ 3.3 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 945 @ 3.0 GHz
- RAM: 6GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon HD 5870
- Drive: DVD-ROM dual-layer
- Sound: DirectX 9.0c card with latest drivers
- Storage: 30GB
- Network: broadband, 256kbps upload or faster
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, or 10 (64-bit required)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz+ or AMD FX-8120 @ 3.1 GHz+
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: GeForce GTX 670 (or GTX 760 / GTX 960) or Radeon HD 7970 (or R9 280X [2GB] / R9 380 / Fury X)
- Sound: DirectX 9.0c 5.1 with latest drivers
- Storage: 47GB
- Network: broadband, 512kbps upload or faster
The game shipped with 11 maps and a commitment to free content that, as history showed, it kept for years. Every spec above is ancient history now — a modest modern gaming PC clears it with room to spare, which is exactly why Siege’s player count only grew.
