Currently only advertised by Sony, apparently incoming on Xbox One and uPlay
Starting August 24, PS Plus members can try Ubisoft's acclaimed strategic squad shooter for free.
Rainbow Six Siege is one of the most dynamic and destructive shooters on PS4, and PlayStation Plus members will soon get a chance to try it for free from August 24-27. Any progress you make during the free weekend will carry over when you purchase the full game, which you can do for 50% off between August 24 and September 4.
The free weekend is a great time to get into Siege and learn some of the basics before the tentative September 5 launch of Operation Blood Orchid, the biggest update for Rainbow Six Siege since its launch. Three new Operators (two from Hong Kong’s SDU and one from Poland’s GROM) bring three new gadgets into the mix, while a new map sends players to a creepy, run-down theme park set in Hong Kong. We’ve got some tips on how to run the new Operators and make your presence felt when the new content hits.

Definitely worth a try this weekend; the Titanfall 2 trial sold me on that MP. What's 50% off in PSN money, £30?

It'll be down to its usual £15 sale price.

I was trying to search for it minutes after, didn't find it anywhere. By any means is it live on Xbox One so that I download that version, please?

It's a Ubisoft promotion so I think the dates are solid. 6pm Thursday would be my call

One thing that people should do, if they try the game. Its an absolute amazing game, unfortunately there is a lot of trolling and team killing in casual play. All I say is persevere once u get to level 20 and start playing ranked and matched against people the same skill it is so much better. Don't let the grind to level 20 put you off, won't regret it.

If HUKDers are trying it for the first time, it might be good to squad up with each other or join one of the PSN communities. Or for an even less daunting option, you can play the co-op Terrorist Hunt mode. That's a great way to get used to the operators, maps and mechanics. This game really benefits from a good headset too, as enemies can be easily located by listening carefully.

I get team killed a lot as well on casual and terrorist hunt. Don't let it put you off, get to level 20 and go on ranked, also I'd look at communities on PS4 and try find players to squad up with

Picked this up a few weeks back, great game, and as mentioned it improves massively when you enter the ranked MP.
It's not easy though, so be prepared for a shocking K/D until you learn the maps and mechanics xD
