The North Star update for Rainbow Six Siege is now available for download on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and next-generation consoles. Depending on your platform, the download size varies between 4GB and 6GB. Also included in this new season of Rainbow Six is a reworked Favela map as well as a new operator named Thunderbird.

North Star Patch Notes

Rainbow Six Siege's next season will be released on Monday, June 14, according to developers Ubisoft. While the new update will be released in hourly intervals across PS4, Xbox One, next-gen platforms, and PC, the dev team expects to deploy it in a cohesive manner. During Year 6 Season 2, Thunderbird will take centre stage and is likely to be quite popular.

Unlike other new operators that have recently appeared on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and next-gen platforms, Thunderbird will provide some useful techniques and will be a speedy defender. Thunderbird will also include a Kona Station, which is a brand-new feature. The Station possesses significant healing abilities, and it will be interesting to see how they interact with Thunderbird's Nitro Cells and Impact Grenade.
