One tactic that publishers like to do to garner interest is have free play weekends for those that have not purchased a game.  Its a smart strategy as it gets people on the fence into a full version of the game to see if they really want to purchase it or to show off recent additions that may attract new players. 

UBISoft is having one of those this week with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, with free play from Nov 15th - 18th. With a recent patch fixing a multitude of issues, its looking like UBISoft wants to show off a cleaner game than what was originally published.  The free weekend is for PC, Xbox and PlayStation platforms, with Q&A pulled directly from the official page below:
