What Did the Siege X Update Change?
Siege X launched on June 10, 2025 as the largest content update in the game’s history. It added redesigned 5v5 maps, a visual and audio overhaul, a new 6v6 mode called Dual Front, and a free-access entry point for new players. Within hours, Steam concurrency spiked to 142,025. Ubisoft reported that June 2025 MAU was the third-highest monthly figure ever, behind only the COVID-era peaks of 2020.
The free-access model came with a cost. A wave of cheating followed the update, and Ubisoft acknowledged in its November 2025 earnings call that the cheating surge had impacted both activity and spending. Additional anti-cheat resources have since been deployed.
