The Buddy Pass in Rainbow Six Extraction allows players that own the game to invite their friends on any platform even if they don't own a copy themselves. There are a few stipulations for using the Buddy Pass, and it only lasts 14-days for the players that are invited. However, it gives players the opportunity to experience the game with their friends before committing to the purchase.
To use Buddy Tokens, one player needs to own a copy of Rainbow Six Extraction. This means that players accessing the game on Game Pass or Ubisoft+ won't be given any Buddy Tokens to use. Once one player purchases a copy of the game on any platform, they will be able to give up to two players the ability to join their game at any time over the course of 14 days. After the two weeks have passed, the invited players will need to purchase a copy of Rainbow Six Extraction to continue playing, but any progress they've made will be saved.
Players can connect with each other on any platform to play Rainbow Six Extraction. Before players can be invited via the Buddy Pass, they will need to download the free trial version of Rainbow Six Extraction. After downloading the trial, the player that owns the game can invite others to join their squad. However, players accessing Rainbow Six Extraction via the Buddy Pass will only be able to play the game when the person that invited them is also playing.
Using the Buddy Pass in Rainbow Six Extraction
Once two players have the trial downloaded and one player owns Rainbow Six Extraction, they can begin completing missions and challenges as a squad. Players should be aware that the Buddy Pass system was delayed by the developers, so it isn't available at launch, but it will be released shortly. The Buddy Pass is expected to be implemented within a few days of the initial launch, but the exact date for the release of this feature is currently unknown.
When the Buddy Pass is available, players can explore the various maps and operators included in Rainbow Six Extraction. There are a total of 18 operators and 12 maps with various challenges and missions to complete. Although Rainbow Six Extraction differs from Rainbow Six Seige, there are a variety of interesting objectives for players to explore, such as saving MIAs or defeating Proteans.
With the Buddy Pass, players have the chance to try out Rainbow Six Extraction with a friend before purchasing the full game. This unique feature lets players connect on any platform, and if they decide to purchase the game, they can keep their progress from the trial. The Buddy Pass is one of the many features players can experience in Rainbow Six Extraction.
Rainbow Six Extraction is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna, and PC.
