Ubisoft has taken Rainbow Six Siege's servers offline and started reversing the effects of a significant security breach, which granted numerous players enormous quantities of in-game currency, exclusive weapon cosmetics, and changes to account restrictions such as bans. The official status page for the game, updated as of Sunday afternoon, lists an 'unplanned outage' impacting servers on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
The disruption originated early Saturday when Ubisoft posted on X about detecting an event disrupting Rainbow Six Siege and pursuing a solution. Soon after, the servers were deactivated as players reported anomalies like empty or inflated R6 credit balances reaching billions, surprise appearances of scarce skins in personal collections, and unexpected account suspensions or releases. Ubisoft followed up with a Saturday afternoon message on X, assuring that using the unauthorized funds wouldn't lead to punishments, while announcing an impending reversal of all dealings from 6:00 AM Eastern Time that day.
In a Sunday afternoon communication to users, Ubisoft revealed that the reversal operation is underway, including comprehensive verification procedures to confirm the safety of player accounts and the reliability of the adjustments. The firm stressed that this issue is under meticulous oversight, so no firm schedule can be committed to, and they offered no projection for when access would resume.
