The latest season of Rainbow Six Siege, Operation Neon Dawn, has finally arrived as part of a major update that also delivers next-gen upgrades for Xbox Series X|S and PS5. Regardless of your platform of choice, this is a very sizeable update indeed, weighing in at a whopping 60-87GB on PC, 35.9GB on Xbox One and PS4, 3.2GB on Xbox Series X, and 5.38GB on PS5.
In the update's patch notes, Ubisoft confirms that the larger download size is required due to a data consolidation. While downloading such a hefty update isn't ideal, it will ultimately reduce the game's required disc space and boost loading times.
Neon Dawn's headline additions are the reworked Skyscraper map and new operator Aruni, whose laser traps should come in handy when playing defensively. The recent update also delivers a number of bug fixes, tweaks, and more - the full list of which can be seen in the Neon Dawn patch notes.
