Rainbow Six Siege servers restored after Marketplace hacks

• Key Takeaways:

• Ubisoft reopened Rainbow Six Siege servers after a Marketplace-related breach that awarded some players billions in credits and rare skins.
• The company says the transaction rollback is complete, but the in-game Marketplace remains closed while checks continue.
• Ubisoft confirmed no automatic bans for players who spent hacked credits, and warned players they may experience queues when reconnecting.

What happened

Ubisoft temporarily shut down Rainbow Six Siege servers after a widespread Marketplace hack surfaced over the weekend, affecting players across PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

Reports showed some accounts displaying zero or billions in R6 credits, unexpected rare weapon skins, and inconsistent account bans or unbans. Ubisoft initially acknowledged an "incident" and took servers offline to investigate.

Company response

On its status page Ubisoft listed an "unplanned outage" for all platforms while teams investigated the breach and prepared fixes. The publisher said it would roll back suspicious transactions beginning from a set timestamp to restore account integrity.

Ubisoft later announced it had completed live tests and reopened the game to players. The official Rainbow Six Siege account said: "Our live tests are now complete and we are opening the game to all players. Please note that you may experience a queue when connecting, as our services ramp up. The rollback is also complete."

Rollback and Marketplace

The company confirmed the transaction rollback is finished, removing credits and items tied to the exploit. However, the in-game Marketplace will remain closed while Ubisoft performs additional quality control and integrity checks.

Ubisoft stressed that the investigation is being handled "with extreme care" and did not provide an exact timeline for when the Marketplace will reopen.

Account bans and player protections

Ubisoft clarified that players would not be penalized simply for spending credits obtained through the breach. Still, the publisher is reviewing accounts and executing extensive tests to ensure changes are effective and accounts are secure.

What players should know now

If you did not log in during the affected window you should see normal account balances restored after the rollback. Players logging in immediately after reopening may encounter queues as systems scale up.

Keep an eye on Ubisoft's official Rainbow Six Siege status page and the game's X/Twitter account for updates on Marketplace availability and any further security notices.

Why it matters

The incident highlights the risk of marketplace exploits in live-service games like Rainbow Six Siege and the importance of rapid containment, transparent rollbacks, and communication from publishers such as Ubisoft.
