Best Rainbow Six Extraction PC settings: How to boost FPS & recommended specs
Rainbow Six Extraction, the horror-themed spin-off to Siege, is finally here on PC and consoles. Here’s how you can get the best PC performance possible, boost your FPS, and check whether your computer can actually run it at all.
Rainbow Six Extraction is here, bringing the tight squad-based gameplay of Siege to a horror setting. You’ll need to use guns, gadgets, and teamwork to survive the containment zone, but you also need to make sure you’re getting the best performance from your PC.
Ubisoft have revealed the PC requirements to run Rainbow Six Extraction at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, so here are the specs you need to meet. Along with that, we’ve picked out the settings you need to change to maximize performance and get you hitting consistently high frames.
Rainbow Six Extraction minimum & recommended requirements
Luckily, you don’t need a top-of-the-line gaming rig to run Rainbow Six Extraction at its minimum settings, as 1080p Low only requires an Intel i5-4460 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB.
The game will likely still look absolutely fine on low, but if you want to improve how the game looks, you’ll want to run it at least the high 1080p requirements. For those with high-powered rigs, you can also play at 1440p or 4k.
You can check out all the requirements below.

| High 1440p | Intel i5-8400 // AMD Ryzen 5 2600X | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB // AMD RX 5600CT 6GB | 16GB (Dual-channel setup) | 85GB | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| Ultra 2160p 4k | Intel i9-9900K // AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB // AMD RX 6800XT 16GB | 16GB (Dual-channel setup) | 85GB (+9GB HD Textures) | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
