In addition, the game will be available for pre-load on PlayStation 4 and through UPlay on PC. Xbox One and Steam/PC will be available once the free weekend begins.

As for what will be available, Ubisoft confirmed the following: "The free version of Rainbow Six Siege offers access to all of the maps, modes and Operators present in the full version, giving you the full Siege experience over the Free Weekend."
