Another day, another free game courtesy of Steam and this time, players can get their hands on a multiplayer tactical shooter for free for a limited time.

Currently available until 21 March, Steam is giving its users a chance to download and play Rainbow Six Siege for free. Additionally, a sale is running alongside this which will see the tactical shooter game drop to an incredible $3.99 / £3.39 on the Valve storefront.

Take a peek at some Rainbow Six Siege gameplay below!

Rainbow Six Siege is a 2015 title from the Tom Clancy series and developed by Ubisoft. The online game is an “elite, tactical team-based shooter where superior planning and execution triumph” and features 5v5 attack vs defence gameplay. With a plethora of weapons, gadgets and operators to choose from, you can use both your kit and the destructible environment to take down the opposing team.

“On defence, coordinate with your team to transform your environments into strongholds. Trap, fortify and create defensive systems to prevent being breached by the enemy,” reads the official synopsis.

“On attack, lead your team through narrow corridors, barricaded doorways and reinforced walls. Combine tactical maps, observation drones, rappelling and more to plan, attack and defuse every situation.”

The Steam deal will allow you to play Rainbow Six Siege with friends who both own and don’t own the game and any progress will be transferred to the full game if you choose to purchase it. This is possible as long as you connect to your Ubisoft account. Additionally, the free experience allows access to all game modes and maps so you can get a true feel of the core gameplay.

Both the free trial and 80% discount on the full game are available until 21 March so make sure to get a move on if you don’t want to miss out on this epic deal.
