Rainbow Six Extraction and Unlocking Times
The unlock time for Rainbow Six Extraction is approaching, releasing R6 operators into containment areas across the United States. We got to experience R6 Extraction firsthand and found it to be a pleasant surprise, even though it’s surrounded by many other current Left 4 Dead-inspired co-op shooters. If you’re already committed to playing Extraction, here’s what you need to know about this week’s preload and unlock times.
The Ubisoft Connect app and the Epic Games Store have already started preloading Rainbow Six fetches for PC players, so you can start downloading 85GB right now if you want. Extract will also be available on PC Game Pass on January 20th, but it won’t be available for preloading.
Here’s how Rainbow Six draws unlock times by time zone:
Rainbow Six extractions are not released globally at the same time.

If you’re not on a top-tier PC, there’s some good news: The Rainbow Six extraction system isn’t that demanding. Your older GPU and normal RAM machine should be able to handle what Extraction emits.
Extraction also offers a friend pass system, where each copy of the game comes with two game tokens, giving your friends access to the game for 14 days.It is worth noting that Ubisoft just announced The Friend Pass system won’t be available immediately at launch “to ensure a smooth rollout for all players.” Ubisoft said it’s important to remove barriers to playing with friends, and it’s “committed to rolling out your two friend invites as soon as possible,” Although it didn’t specify how soon after launch would happen.
