With Operation Ember Rise coming to the live servers, we wanted to shed some light on the Casual Playlist changes coming at the launch of Year 4 Season 3, and around the 3.3 patch.
We currently have a total of 22 maps; 14 in the Ranked Playlist and 20 playable in Casual. As announced on the [url=https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-GB/game-info/seasons/emberrise/index.aspx]Seasonal Patch Notes[/url], we will implement a new Casual map pool rotation. This Playlist will now have 14 maps instead of the current 20. Moving forward we will rotate 4 maps in and out of the playlist with each rotation.
With the release of Operation Ember Rise, this is what the Casual map pool will look like:

In a mid-season patch, we will replace [b]Skyscraper, Hereford, Fortress, and Chalet[/b], with [b]House, Plane, Favela, and Tower[/b]. We will post updates on social media channels before it reaches the live servers.
Bartlett University and Theme Park will not be playable during Season 3. The latter will be receiving a rework with the release of Y4S4 and won’t be available throughout this season.
Our goal is to give players the ability to familiarize themselves with a more curated selection of maps. We are also aiming to make the playlist more dynamic and enjoyable.
