Ubisoft has fully restored Rainbow Six Siege servers, halting a forced shutdown due to a major hack. All affected users should anticipate restored service soon.
Timeline of Restoration
- 2025-12-27: Hackers compromised Rainbow Six Siege's server backbone.
- 2025-12-29: Ubisoft began server recovery and rollback procedures.
- 2025-12-30: Normal gaming services resumed, potential wait queues advised.
Players connecting after 2025-12-27, 19:49 UTC may temporarily lose account access as Ubisoft rectifies unauthorized credit and item grants.
Rollback and Item Losses
During the breach, hackers distributed billions of R6 credits and ultra-rare skins. Ubisoft's rollback will remove these items. Users unaffected if not logged in between 2025-12-27, 10:49 UTC, and 2025-12-29.
The in-game marketplace remains closed for continued security assurance. Investigation into the breach extends over two weeks.
Concurrent Player Recovery
Following the recovery, concurrent player numbers on Steam stabilized around 54,000 players yesterday, with 50,000 players today. This reflects the game's restored operational status.
