Ubisoft to Shut Down Rainbow Six Mobile on January 15, 2027

The company said the closure will free resources for other long‑term strategic projects.

Overview

  • Ubisoft announced Thursday that Rainbow Six Mobile will be sunset and remain playable until January 15, 2027.
  • The studio said the game's next content season will launch as planned the week after the announcement.
  • Ubisoft said it will publish a phased shutdown timetable and details on refunds for in‑game purchases in the coming weeks.
  • The mobile title was a multi‑year, multi‑studio effort developed with a Tencent partnership that entered soft launch in 2023 and reached global release on February 23, 2026.
  • Third‑party estimates show millions of downloads but modest lifetime in‑app revenue, a result that fits broader challenges Ubisoft has faced with mobile and live‑service spinoffs and may push the company to focus on fewer, higher‑performing projects.
