Ubisoft has confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege services are returning online after a major security breach forced the company to shut down servers and the in-game marketplace worldwide. The incident began early Saturday and affected players across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

The publisher said access is being restored in phases after completing an initial rollback of player data. While most users can now log in, Ubisoft has warned that some in-game items or progress may temporarily be missing as restoration work continues.

What caused the Rainbow Six Siege outage

The outage was triggered by a large-scale backend security breach that allowed attackers to manipulate in-game systems. Players began reporting unusual activity, including sudden injections of billions of R6 Credits into accounts, unlocked rare or developer-only cosmetic items, and random bans and unbans.

To prevent further damage to the game’s economy and player accounts, Ubisoft took the unusual step of taking Rainbow Six Siege servers and its marketplace offline globally within hours of acknowledging the issue.

Rollback and data restoration process

Ubisoft said it initiated a rollback of all player data and transactions made after the breach was detected. According to the company, the rollback is being carried out carefully, followed by extensive quality checks to ensure account data is restored accurately.

The company has clarified that players will not be penalised for spending any credits that appeared in their accounts during the breach. However, all affected transactions are being reversed as part of the restoration process.

Ubisoft has also stated that some players may temporarily not see content they own, but these discrepancies will be investigated and corrected over the next two weeks.

Current server status and what players should know

As of the latest update, Rainbow Six Siege services are gradually coming back online, though Ubisoft has not shared a fixed timeline for full normalisation. The game’s official service status page continues to show restoration activity across regions.

Ubisoft said its priority remains restoring access safely while ensuring the integrity of player accounts and the in-game economy. The company has promised to share further updates once additional checks are completed and all services are fully stabilised.
