The closed beta applicable to Ubisoft's Rainbow Six: Siege has now been extended. Ubisoft stated that the pre-release version will include better matchmaking and server ability.

Now, gamers can check out the closed beta of Rainbow Six: Siege till 1 October. Ubisoft made this declaration on the Rainbow Six: Siege forums.
