Ubisoft reportedly rolled back its Rainbow Six Siege servers after hackers infiltrated its backend and provided players with unauthorized in-game items.
Ubisoft revealed just two days after the holidays that it was aware of an incident affecting Rainbow Six Siege, stating that its team was “working on a resolution.”
This comes after reports from users that they were receiving millions of in-game credits, with one X user claiming to have received 2 billion tokens.
Along with the billions of tokens, which one X user said may’ve cost Ubisoft tens of millions of dollars, players were also “gifted” rare developer skins and other valuable in-game assets.
Ubisoft continued to update users via their X account on Saturday, December 27th, through to Sunday, the 28th, when the company claimed to have reached a resolution.
The gaming giant said that no one would be banned for spending their illegitimate credits, and as “the ban ticker was turned off in a past update,” any bans were not triggered by Ubisoft.
The Rainbow Six Siege maker said via X on Sunday that a rollback was underway “to ensure the integrity of accounts and effectiveness of changes.”
The game soft-launched roughly six hours ago and was later opened to all players following various tests conducted by Ubisoft.
However, Rainbow Six Siege’s service status page shows degraded services across all platforms, including PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC.
An “unplanned outage” and degraded services can be seen across all platforms, according to the game's status page.
Degraded services could be a result of users experiencing a queue when connecting to the game, as Ubisoft’s services continue to ramp up, the company said via its Rainbow Six Siege X account.
Players who didn’t log in on December 27th, 2025, after 10:49 UTC and December 29th should not see any changes to their inventory, the gaming company said.
“For those that did connect after December 27th, 10:49 UTC: A small percentage of players may temporarily lose access to some owned items. Investigations and corrections will continue over the next two weeks.”
Rainbow Six Siege’s marketplace will remain closed until further notice, as more investigations will need to be conducted.
This isn’t the first time Ubisoft has experienced a breach.
In March 2022, the company reported a cybersecurity incident that caused a “temporary disruption” to various Ubisoft games.
