Rainbow Six Extraction, Ubisoft Montreal’s latest tactical shooter is coming soon, and the developers are releasing pre-install data, file size, and PC hardware requirements for when the game launches on January 20th. After numerous delays across the last several years, the spinoff of their 2015 hit Rainbow Six Siege (our review here) will finally be playable for fans worldwide. Below is any information available at this time on how players can get right into the action when the game releases.
At Long Last
Rainbow Six Extraction was originally meant to release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but the game appears to have shrugged off its delays and is also coming out into a new console generation, meaning home console gamers fortunate enough to own a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X will get to experience a notable performance boost while previous generation gamers will still receive plenty accommodation, including cross-play support. Naturally, PC gamers’ mileage will vary depending upon whether they meet the minimum hardware requirements, or perhaps how far they can exceed them. Fans who are eager to get into this game after the long wait have taken to pre-installing the game on their devices of choice, and the final installed file size will vary depending on what they choose to play on.
Size Matters if Measured in Gigabytes
Rainbow Six Extraction: Pre-Install file sizes for the following consoles:
- PC: 85 GB minimum (+96 GB HD Textures)
- PS4: TBD
- PS5: TBD
- Xbox One: TBD
- Xbox Series S: TBD

This is the most current information available at the time, more download sizes will be added as updates become available.
