The company confirmed on X at around 9:10 AM EST on Saturday, December 27, that there was an incident with the title, with its Service Status page reporting an Unplanned Outage across all platforms as of the time of writing. While the company is yet to acknowledge what caused the disruption, there have been numerous reports of players receiving 2 billion R6 credits and Renown, as well as developer-only skins and Glaciers — one of the rarest weapon skins in the game. There have also been claims of random bans and unbans, affecting everyone from ordinary players to high-profile and streamer accounts.

Because of the ongoing chaos, players have been advised to stay offline, especially as it seems that this is more than just a simple hack. Instead, it looks like it’s a massive breach with Ubisoft losing total control of the game’s backend. The company has yet to explain what is happening, especially as it’s likely still trying to figure out what’s going on and how it can regain control of the game, but this silence has led to frustration among players. Still, it’s likely fighting one fire after another, so we don’t expect it to make any announcements anytime soon.
While we don’t know the extent of the damage yet, it’s advisable for anyone with a Ubisoft account, especially one tied to Rainbow Six Siege, to change and update their passwords as a precaution. In the meantime, there’s nothing we can do except wait. While there have been larger, more damaging hacks in the past, this is one of the first instances in recent history where an apparent breach has taken down an entire game.
