Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Extraction is a tactical, co-op, PvE first-person shooter where you and your squad face an evolving alien threat. Teamwork, tactics, and flawless execution are key to your survival.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal · Published by Ubisoft









Play as Rainbow Six operators sent into containment zones to confront the alien Archaeans. You can take on missions alone or team up with as many as two other players.
In each incursion, move through infested areas, complete objectives, fight alien enemies, and decide when to extract. Scouting with drones and using stealth can help keep enemies from swarming your team, while gunfire and tactical gadgets offer other ways to handle threats.
Operators bring different abilities, weapons, and loadouts, shaping how your squad approaches a mission. Progress by leveling operators and taking on varied objectives and difficulty levels; if an operator is lost in the field, they become unavailable until you rescue them in a later mission.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its tactical co-op, Siege-style shooting, and the tension of planning around alien threats. Reviews highlight stealth, teamwork, distinct operator abilities, and the risk of losing an operator as engaging parts of missions. Some also enjoy playing solo, but recurring criticisms include repetitive objectives, limited long-term variety, stopped updates, and a small player pool that can make co-op harder to access.
