It doesn\u2019t look like that has gone live either. All those stores list the full-price version and the Deluxe Edition, but there\u2019s no sign of a free trial version.<\/p>\n<p>Until we learn more, you can keep on reading for everything we know about the Rainbow Six Extraction trial version and Buddy Pass system at the moment.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When will the Rainbow Six Extraction Buddy Pass system and trial version go live?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ubisoft has promised that the Rainbow Six Extraction Buddy Pass program will go live \u201cshortly after launch\u201d. And since the full game launched at midnight on the morning of Thursday 20th January 2022, it feels like we should be learning more about this anytime from now.<\/p>\n<p>We would expect the Rainbow Six Extraction trial version to drop at the same time as the Buddy Pass, and we\u2019ll be sure to let you know if\/when Ubisoft confirms a date and time for this to happen. For now, they\u2019ve left us guessing. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to have this system in place before the weekend?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">An update from the Rainbow Six Extraction team. <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/Pa7rOu2DhN&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/Pa7rOu2DhN<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Rainbow Six Extraction (@R6Extraction) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/R6Extraction\/status\/1483488669046648836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">January 18, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><h2><strong>How to use the Rainbow Six Extraction Buddy Pass<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once the Rainbow Six Extraction Buddy Pass comes to life, it sounds like it should be fairly simple to use it.<\/p>\n<p>In order to use the Rainbow Six Extraction Buddy Pass with someone, one of you needs to have the full game, and you must be Ubisoft Connect friends with the person you want to give a Buddy Pass. (You can <a href=\"\/\/account.ubisoft.com\/en-GB\/login&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">create at Ubisoft Connect account<\/a> at that link if you don\u2019t have one already.)<\/p>\n<p>Once you both have a Ubisoft Connect account, make sure you both have Rainbow Six Extraction installed and open \u2013 the player that already has the full game will be able to download it the normal way, while the one that is using the Buddy Pass will have to download the trial version (more on that in a second).<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re both in the game, the player with the full version of Rainbow Six Extraction will need to follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul><li>From the game\u2019s main menu, head to the Squad selection screen (you\u2019ll see this sign-posted in the top-right corner of the screen \u2013 on Xbox, you press Y to bring it up)<\/li>\n<li>Once the Squad screen is open, you\u2019ll see an option to \u2018Add Friends\u2019 \u2013 click into the Search bar and you\u2019ll be prompted to type in your friend\u2019s Ubisoft Connect name<\/li>\n<li>When your friend is added, select them from the list on the Squad screen, and you should see an option to send them a Buddy Pass invite<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>When that\u2019s done, the other player should be able to accept the invitation from their own in-game menu, and you should be able to start playing together straight away!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to get the Rainbow Six Extraction trial version<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To the best of our understanding, once it goes live, you should be able to download the Rainbow Six Extraction trial version from the digital storefront on your gaming platform of choice.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re playing on PlayStation, you should be able to search for Rainbow Six Extraction in Sony\u2019s in-built PlayStation store, and you should see the trial version listed as one of the options.<\/p>\n<p>However, we just tried this on a number of platforms, and the Rainbow Six Extraction trial version does not seem to be available yet. When that changes, we\u2019ll be sure to update this article as a means of letting you know.<\/p> <h2><strong>How to play Rainbow Six Extraction for free\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Rainbow Six Extraction trial version should allow any player to try the game out for free for two hours. And if someone that owns the full game sends you a Buddy Pass, that access should be extended from two hours to 14 days.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Buddy Pass system and the trial version have not yet gone live at the time of writing, so you might be looking for another way to play Rainbow Six Extraction without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got access to an Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S or a decent gaming PC, the most affordable way to play Rainbow Six Extraction at the moment is by using Xbox Game Pass. The full game is available through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service at no extra cost for members.
