With 35 tiers on both tracks, it proposes a total of 48 rewards for the competitors, including the exclusive customization items available in the Road to S.I. game mode. The Premium pass is available for 1200 R6 Credits and the Premium Bundle that unlocks the Premium pass and the first 12 tiers can be purchased for 2400 R6 Credits. Each tier can be unlocked through playing the game or for 180 R6 Credits.
30% of the revenue from the Road to S.I. Battle Pass will go to the Six Invitational prize pool, up to a maximum of $3,000,000 USD. Any surplus will be redistributed across other official Rainbow Six esports programs. More than just a tournament, the Six Invitational is the gathering of all fans, joining in celebrating the community with friends and the extended Siege family.
