Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1.1 update will go live later today, fixing numerous gameplay, audio, and UX bugs.
Rainbow Six Siege received some brand new features in the first season of Year 7, but every new feature comes with a bunch of bugs that need to be fixed after launch.
Hopefully, today’s update fixes numerous Year 7 Season 1 issues, including the infamous audio problems that used to prevent players from correctly hearing gunfire and footsteps sound in the game.

Furthermore, the new update improves the Team Deathmatch experience as well by removing a number of bugs, including the incorrect respawn timer.
The update weighs around 1.5 GB on PS5 and Xbox consoles, but the PS4 version is a little bit over 2 GB. Steam players will only need to download 1GB.
