Rainbow Six Siege Y4S1 Burnt Horizon release times
For starters, the update will go live today on all platforms following one hour of maintenance that kicks off at the times below:
All players will be required to essentially re-download the entire game, making for a much larger patch than usual. Ubisoft said this is necessary to rearrange the file structure, which will result in a smaller install size overall after taking the patch.
On PC, you’re looking at a 54GB download, compared to 33GB on PS4, and 38GBon Xbox One. When that’s done, Rainbow Six Siege will take up 60GB of space on PC instead of 79GB. On PS4, that’s 65GB down to 40GB, and 75GB to 41GB on Xbox One.

To help optimize player experience for future updates, we are also in the process of restructuring how our game data is stored – this will help consolidate and reduce the overall game size.

We’ve made a number of changes and updates over the course of the Burnt Horizon Season Test Server. Below you will find a list of changes and updates.
To help optimize player experience for future updates, we are also in the process of restructuring how our game data is stored – this will help consolidate and reduce the overall game size. This means that the Burnt Horizon Patch will be larger than normal. Patch sizes for each platform will be provided prior to maintenance.
GAMEPLAY
LEAN SPAM CAMERA PLACEMENT
- Previous camera placement at a full lean allowed players to fire without being completely exposed. As part of our fix to counteract lean spamming, we are shifting the camera to the center of the head instead of the far side of the head, even when at a “full lean”.
OPERATOR MOVEMENT AND RUNNING ANIMATIONS.
- With Y4S1, we have cleaned up the animations in the back end, and streamlined them. This will allow us more freedom to implement new features and unique aspects of the game in the future, as the overall animation development pipeline has been streamlined. We have also updated the new running animations based on the player feedback we received so that the head lean is less aggressive to make the sprint animation look more natural.
- Minimum Clearance Level for Ranked Playlist increased from 20 to 30.
- Reduction in HP after being revived from a DBNO state: PvP = 20 (down from 50), THunt = 15.
- Holosight color is now determined by the base skin of the weapon it is equipped on.
CAPITAO
- Back to Wind Bastion version.
DOKKAEBI
- Auto – hangup timer of Dokkaebi calls reduced to 12 seconds (down from 18).
BUG FIXES
- Fixed – When prone, moving/turning the camera even slightly will cause the Operator to make noise.
This problem is tied to the shield operator rotation fix for Y4S1, so we're reverting back to the old rotation system for the time being.
What that means for the Shield Rotation Desync fix: While we have reverted the new rotation system for now to address the rotational noise issues, we're going to work on improvements to the rotation system and the shield desync fix so neither is an issue. Unfortunately, this means that the shield rotation desync issue will be present again for the time being. We are still targeting some time during Y4S1 for the shield rotation fix to be implemented, and will update players when we have more info.
