Ubisoft Takes Rainbow Six Siege Offline After Widespread Unauthorized Credits and Bans

Ubisoft says teams are investigating after reports of mass currency grants, dev-only items, sudden bans.

Overview

  • Ubisoft acknowledged an ongoing incident and confirmed it intentionally shut both Rainbow Six Siege and the in-game Marketplace while it works on a fix.
  • The official service status lists critical issues across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with core services such as authentication, store access, and matchmaking impacted.
  • Players reported balances jumping into the billions for R6 Credits and Renown, plus thousands of Alpha Packs and developer-only cosmetics appearing without purchases.
  • Numerous accounts, including those of streamers and esports figures, displayed random bans that some users later reported were reversed.
  • The root cause has not been confirmed; some outlets cite possible access to admin tools, and players are being urged to stay offline and not spend any newly added currency pending guidance on potential rollbacks or penalties.
