Ubisoft has shut down servers for its popular game Rainbow Six Siege following a widespread breach that granted players billions of in-game credits and rare skins. The company is now performing a rollback of transactions to restore account integrity. No timeline has been provided for when servers will return online.
Ubisoft encountered a significant issue with Rainbow Six Siege on Saturday morning, December 27, 2025, when it announced awareness of an incident affecting the game. Within hours, the company took the drastic step of shutting down servers across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Players reported anomalies, including accounts showing either zero or billions of R6 credits, appearances of ultra-rare weapon skins in inventories, and instances of bans or unbans.
In a statement on X that afternoon, Ubisoft clarified that no players would face bans for spending the unauthorized credits. Instead, the firm initiated a rollback of all transactions dating back to 6AM ET on Saturday. The official Rainbow Six Siege account on X confirmed the intentional shutdown of both the game and its Marketplace to focus on resolution, posting: "Update: Siege and the Marketplace have been intentionally shut down while the team focuses on resolving the issue."
By Sunday afternoon, December 28, 2025, the game's status page continued to display an "unplanned outage" for all servers. Ubisoft updated players that the rollback was underway, emphasizing extensive quality control tests to ensure account integrity and the effectiveness of changes. The company stressed that the matter was being handled with extreme care, though it could not guarantee timing for server restoration.
This breach highlights ongoing challenges in securing online gaming environments, where exploits can disrupt economies and player trust. Ubisoft has not detailed the breach's cause but is prioritizing fixes to prevent further fallout.
