Rainbow Six Siege has been hit by a serious disruption that has forced Ubisoft to take core services offline worldwide, amid widespread reports of an exploit allowing unauthorised alterations to player accounts.
Players on PC, PlayStation and Xbox reported receiving billions of R6 Credits and Renown, access to rare developer-only skins, and sudden changes to their in-game inventories. At the same time, the in-game ban feed showed thousands of accounts being banned and unbanned without explanation.
Ubisoft confirmed outages across authentication, matchmaking and store systems, describing the situation as a “service incident”. The publisher has not stated whether a security breach or hack has occurred.
Community reaction has been swift, with players criticising the lack of clarity as the scale of the disruption became apparent. Several questioned why servers remained active for hours while accounts were being modified.
The company’s service status page now shows full outages across multiple systems, suggesting that internal protections were triggered or services were intentionally closed while investigations continue.
Players are widely expecting account rollbacks once systems are restored. Concerns remain that automated systems could misidentify players who interacted with credits or items they received during the incident.
