Rainbow Six Siege servers rolled back after breach

• Key Takeaways:
• Ubisoft shut down Rainbow Six Siege servers after a security incident that granted many players billions of R6 credits and ultra-rare skins.
• The company is performing a full transaction rollback beginning at 6AM ET on the incident day and running extensive quality-control checks before restoring service.
• All platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) remain in unplanned outage while Ubisoft verifies account integrity and finalizes fixes.

What happened

On Saturday, Ubisoft took Rainbow Six Siege offline after reports surfaced that a breach or exploit allowed accounts to receive massive amounts of R6 credits and uncommon weapon skins. Players also reported abrupt account bans and unbans tied to the activity.

The issue was widespread across platforms: PC, PlayStation and Xbox users all experienced inventory and account anomalies, prompting an immediate server shutdown and public status updates labeled an "unplanned outage."

Ubisoft's response and rollback plan

Ubisoft acknowledged the incident on X (formerly Twitter) and said it was "aware of an incident currently affecting Rainbow Six Siege" and working on a resolution. Within hours the company shut game services to halt further impact.

Ubisoft later told players that "nobody would be banned if they spent their ill-gotten credits," but it also announced a rollback of transactions beginning at Saturday, 6AM ET. The publisher says it is now executing that rollback and will run "extensive quality control tests" to ensure accounts are restored correctly.

Timing and uncertainty

Ubisoft has not provided an ETA for when servers will return. The company cautioned that because it is handling the issue "with extreme care," timing cannot be guaranteed while it validates account states and confirms the effectiveness of changes.

What players should do now

Players should avoid trying to reconnect repeatedly; continued access attempts can complicate maintenance and testing. Hold off on assuming items or credits are permanent, since the rollback targets transactions from the incident window.

Keep an eye on the official Rainbow Six Siege status page and Ubisoft’s X account for updates. If you notice unauthorized purchases or persistent bans after services return, contact Ubisoft Support with account details and timestamps.

Short timeline

Saturday morning

Reports emerge of inflated R6 credit balances, rare skins appearing, and account bans/unbans. Ubisoft posts an acknowledgement and later shuts down services.

Saturday 6AM ET

Ubisoft sets the rollback cut-off time: all transactions after this timestamp are subject to reversal.

This incident underscores how quickly in-game economies and account security can be disrupted. Ubisoft’s priority now is restoring integrity to Rainbow Six Siege accounts before returning online play to millions of users.
