Ubisoft has temporarily taken down the Rainbow Six Siege servers and marketplace following a large-scale hack that affected players across all platforms. The breach saw players receiving developer-only skins, billions of credits, and, in some cases, facing account bans for allegedly exploiting the situation.
The hack began this morning, with reports flooding in about unusual server-wide bans and strange messages displaying controversial lyrics and statements. Many players also reported receiving rare skins, typically reserved for developers, as well as billions of in-game credits, potentially worth tens of thousands of dollars. This prompted Ubisoft to investigate the incident, though the company refrained from directly labeling it a hack, which left fans questioning the seriousness of the situation.

Ubisoft Responds with Temporary Shutdown
Within an hour of the initial reports, Ubisoft announced a temporary shutdown of the Rainbow Six Siege servers and the in-game marketplace. The shutdown is part of the company’s effort to assess the scale of the breach and prevent further exploitation. While Ubisoft has not confirmed the breach as a hack, the evidence suggests malicious activity, with players gaining access to rare in-game items and credits. It’s unclear how long the servers will remain offline, but Ubisoft has assured players that they are investigating the issue thoroughly.
The timing of the hack couldn’t have been worse. With the holiday season in full swing, many players were looking forward to spending their free time in Rainbow Six Siege. However, the breach has forced a temporary halt to their plans. The scale of the hack is particularly concerning due to the involvement of valuable in-game items that have a real-world monetary value.
