"Ubisoft had to shut down Rainbow Six Siege's servers and roll back transactions, a situation that came from a widespread breach that left various players with billions of in-game credits, ultra-rare skins of weapons, and banned accounts. As of Sunday, December 28, the status page on Rainbow Six Siege's website still shows "unplanned outage" on all servers across PC, PlayStation and Xbox."
"The fiasco began Saturday morning when Ubisoft said on X that they were "aware of an incident currently affecting Rainbow Six Siege" and "working on a resolution." A couple of hours later, the Rainbow Six Siege servers were shut down, following plenty of user reports showing either zero or billions in R6 credits, rare skins in their lockers and either account bans or unbans."
"On Sunday afternoon, Ubisoft informed the playerbase that they're currently performing a rollback, but that "extensive quality control tests will be executed to ensure the integrity of accounts and effectiveness of changes." The company added that "this matter is being handled with extreme care and therefore, timing cannot be guaranteed" and didn't provide an estimate for when servers would be back online."
A widespread breach of Rainbow Six Siege's servers allowed many players to receive zero or billions of R6 credits, ultra-rare weapon skins, and led to some accounts being banned or unbanned. Ubisoft shut down servers across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox and marked the status page as an "unplanned outage." A rollback of all transactions starting from Saturday 6AM ET was performed while the Marketplace remained closed. Ubisoft ran extensive quality control tests to protect account integrity and later reopened servers after completing testing and the transaction rollback, without providing a firm timeline earlier.
